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.

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

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

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

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

Mine arrived today! Big Smiles! :smiley:

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:

Ditto, two pin europlug mains charger with mine too.

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

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

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.

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

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

Same. Thanks OP.

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

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

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

Certainly looks that way!

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.

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

Anyone else think that looks like Optimus Prime?

​this one looks like bumblebee

Well spotted.

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

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

Cheers frank :smile:



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

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

"Batteries: Lithium ion batteries required. "

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

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.

This happened before and needless to say, it never materialised

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

Nice one Frank!

Heat from me. :sunglasses:

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

Yeah £30-40 seems more realistic

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

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

Ordered but most likely get cancelled

worth a punt for the price though.

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

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

Thanks ordered expecting cancellation email though

Link showing at £84.45 plus £5.50 delivery

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