I carry this, or a similar product in each of my 4 cars. The tire air pump is great. I have older cars, older tires, And sometimes, for whatever reason, sometimes park in a parking lot, next time I get in the car it looks low (all my tpms are gone). Where is the closest gas station with air, finding one that works, feeding quarters into it, praying it starts. If not, is there enough air to get to another station... This will add air to a low tire. Obviously if it is a real problem, flat tire, it may not fix it, but use the air pump about once a year. For things other than tires, it is a high pressure, low volume inflator. Bike tire, OK, basketball, maybe. Beach ball, will take a while, mattress/ kayak/ paddle board, forget it. Seriously, battery will be dead after an hour and will only be half way inflated. Not worth it. The jumper function is hit or miss, in my experience. The idea behind it is great, hook it up, turn it on, start the car. And with old cars I do need jumps from time to time. About half the time it will work. Seems to do better on smaller 4 cylinder engines. If your battery is "close" to starting, just needs a bit more to turn over, it sometimes works. If your battery is dead, an old fashioned jump start might be the best option. But, as you are waiting for AAA or a friend with cables to show up, lets you try something. And sometimes it does work, my success rate is about 50%. It does come with all the cables and inflation tube you need (along with things like a ball needle for basketball). And comes with a real paper instructions manual, written in a ton of different languages. And it all fits, pretty tightly, into a storage bag to stick in your trunk or behind the seat if your truck. Recharging is done with a USB C cable, and does have a flashlight and USB A out plug. So in a pinch, could be used during a power outage. Give you light and a way to recharge your phone. All in all, good product. Not a "save you" type device, but certainly can come in handy for a low battery or low tire. Might get you back on the road faster than relying on the kindness of strangers or waiting for a tow truck. Good to have when traveling. Read more
Car Jump Starter with Air Compressor & 950LM LED Light, 3000A Peak Battery Booster Includes Smart Jumper Cables, 150PSI Auto Tire Inflator for Cars, Trucks, SUVs (Up to 8L Gas/6.5L Diesel) There are two cargo trucks that I drive for airport pickups. I make this 140 mile round trip several times a month and try to make sure that I always have reliable transportation and good emergency equipment in case of a vehicle failure. The weather here drops below zero Fahrenheit during winters and that is especially hard on our vehicle batteries. I ordered this RICWIT Car Jump Starter from Amazon with that in mind. It's battery boost supports up to 8L Gas or 6.5L Diesel engines. I'm well inside that range. My Chevy Express 3500 box truck has a 6.6L V8 DI gasoline engine. My Sprinter Van has a 2.1L 4-cylinder diesel engine. This jump starter also has a few premium built-in features. It has a really bright 950 lumen LED flashlight with variable lens. It has a tire inflator/compressor built-in but it is slow and takes a long time to inflate a truck tire. This has a backlit LCD screen to show pressure with the pump. I wish it had a voltmeter function and would show my battery voltage. That would be very useful in an emergency. It also has a USB C port and acts as a power bank to charge your phone or other digital devices. Now I just have to remember to keep it charged and put it in the truck before I leave for the airport!

Had this in the truck for a few weeks before I actually needed it and when the time came it did exactly what it was supposed to. The 3000A peak current is no joke. Tried it on my F-150 after leaving an interior light on overnight and it cranked right up without any drama. The battery indicator is easy to read and the unit held its charge well between uses, which matters a lot when you're depending on something like this to actually work when you need it. The built-in air compressor is a genuinely useful addition. It's not replacing a dedicated floor pump but for topping off a tire or getting you to the nearest gas station after a slow leak, it gets the job done. The digital pressure gauge reads accurately when I compared it to a separate gauge I already had. Pumping up a car tire from around 24 PSI to 35 PSI took a few minutes which is about what you'd expect from a unit this size. The design is pretty solid. The clamps feel beefy and the cables are long enough to actually reach without having to maneuver vehicles into awkward positions. The LED flashlight built into the side is one of those features that sounds like a gimmick but actually comes in handy when you're fumbling around with jumper cables at night. The protective case it comes in is a nice touch too and makes it easy to keep organized in the truck bed. I do wish the instruction manual was a bit more detailed. The basic operation is self-explanatory but there's not much explanation for the different modes or exactly what the indicator lights mean in every situation. Had to do a bit of guessing on one thing. Also the charging cable for recharging the unit itself is a little short, which is mildly annoying depending on your outlet placement in the garage. Overall though for something that needs to sit in your vehicle and work reliably on demand, this delivers. The combination of jump starting power and air compressor in a single compact unit is genuinely useful and the build quality feels like it will hold up with regular use. Read more
