Nice one Frank!

Heat from me. :sunglasses:

Cheers frank :smile:



...not sure if there's a punchline to the above :laughing:

These things are rubbish. If youve got an old car battery and are buying one of these to jump it youre wasting your cash.Get a new car battery instead.

Link showing at £84.45 plus £5.50 delivery

well one price isn't right, other seller ninety quid

Thanks ordered expecting cancellation email though

I have had numerous orders cancelled after buying with the 1 to 2 month delivery timescale, prepare to sit on this for 6 to 8 weeks before the cancellation email comes through

Always worth a shot! I had £600 speakers for £130 via Amazon and had to wait for 2 months or so

worth a punt for the price though.

Ordered but most likely get cancelled

Some people have spotted this and already listed them on ebay at 0.99 +31.99 postage

Same and similar ones selling for circa £30 quid so dont think the £80 price tag is too realistic

Yeah £30-40 seems more realistic

Yeah still a good price if you need one :smiley:

Nice one Frank!

Anyone else think that looks like Optimus Prime?

I used my Jumpstarter this summer to run my portable electric cooler box, ran for about 3 hours. From the picture it looks like this has the same cigarette lighter socket on the side. This looks very much like the clone of the Clarks 910 model, hopefully the battery inside is a 18 amp hour one.
Clark one here. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Clarke-910-Jump-Start-Compressor/dp/B004M418SS

This happened before and needless to say, it never materialised

Bought similar thing from Maplin a coulpe of years ago. Sat at the side of my bin waiting for scrap van to come ad pick it up. Save your cash.

"Batteries: Lithium ion batteries required. "

What no batteries included?? how are you supposed to jump start anything?

I'm surprised...I found a few other 'compressor' gifs I thought you would have posted :laughing:

Cheers frank :smile:

Better read the description (scroll down)? "Product Description: Fuel can 5L 420gr Black UN/BAM"

Well spotted.

Unfortunately, I ordered before seeing your post.
Looks like this one which includes batteries ans sells for around £37:

​this one looks like bumblebee

I'm sure my mate said B&M or Home Bargain sell these for £30, I was going to grab one myself as my old ones packed in, think its the battery. I'd rather a new one with compressor and socket to charge stuff though

Product Description
Fuel can 5L 420gr Black UN/BAM

Box Contains
1 x Jumpstarter 12V with air compressor

which is it?

RESULT!

As a gesture of goodwill we will honour one unit for each order placed at the lower price. All other affected units have now been cancelled. If you still wish to purchase another unit of this item, please place a new order online which will be charged at the correct price, when we dispatch it to you.

Certainly looks that way!

Same email. Pleased to be getting one. Well done Amazon!

Received same letter, had ordered two, will honour one, kudos to Amazon this time.

Same. Thanks OP.

It's gestures like this which ensure I order almost everything from Amazon now.

Anyone received theirs yet? Just pushed my order back to mid Oct/Nov

​Mine says "Hello we are writing to let you know that the following items have been unexpectedly delayed:"

  "Carpoint 0177707 Jumpstarter with Air Compressor 12 V"
    Estimated arrival date: October 19 2016 - November 09 2016"

Anyone received their order yet? Mine pushed back again until December 3rd. Ideal Xmas present for the wife. :smirk:

Mine arrived today!

Admittedly it took a while, but for the bargain price of £12.62, I aint gonna complain.

Only problem with mine is that it came with a 2-pin euro 12v adapter.:disappointed:

Thanks OP.

Mine has been dispatched for delivery tomorrow.............will update

I know it's late but mine arrived today. Massive thanks to OP

Ditto, two pin europlug mains charger with mine too.

I did purchase a 12v/2A adapter with a 2.1mm x 5.5mm jack and it woouldn't work for some reason, which I can only imagine is due to the central pin on the jump strarter is actually being smaller (1.7mm perhaps?).

Got the original AC adapter plugged into one of these now:




It is a bit ugly looking but will do for now.

£1.21 delivered from Kikatek on Amazon (RRP £9.90) :confused:

Mine arrived today! Big Smiles! :smiley:

Neater and shipped from U.K. with free p&p via amazon seller. £2.96

Mine arrived yesterday in a crappy box with little protective packaging. Result is mine is quite badly cracked and a couple of the corner screws are only holding broken plastic pieces. But as it was so cheap, and does seem to work, it is no big deal. However, had I been mad enough to pay the new price it would have been going back. Amazon packaging is crazy. They send tiny unbreakable items in massive boxes full of tons of packaging, and then send something breakable in the same size box with no meaningful protection!!!

Ordered this one with 3A £2.64 from same seller

Never thought of that. But, when I went in to returns it would only offer a refund, no option for replacement.

Negotiate a discount with chat rep then, at £13 I think they have the power to give it to you free.
