Best jumper/compressor pack
So my big heavy schumacher jump starter quit working and I'm in the market for a new one. I use these quite a bit so I am more concerned with quality than price. However the cheaper the better of course.
I run a little 11.5lb Brail battery and release tire air pressure at the drag strip, which requires re-compressing after the night of racing. So even though the battery hasn't given me trouble, just the idea of having it makes carrying a dependable jumper and compressor a must.
What I'm really after is the lightest possible one there is. I am aware that the cigarette lighter ones are the lightest, but I do not use the battery for anything but cranking. So it must be a self powered jumper and air compressor.
The Centech 4 in 1 unit from Harbor freight for $60 is obviously the best deal. But I do not know if they last long and they are quite large/heavy.. I'm looking for opinions on which one to go with. I don't know the brands or anything to look for. This last one was a gift.

Too bad you need a air compressor because I have one of these and it's great.
