    Delivered long ago, though IIRC, @ramonortiz55 wasn't particularly interested in doing another, not sure if NoCo was the problem or the vendor..

    We were curious to see what TC would say and at that moment there wasn't anyone around; we had to seek out the others to help.

    got it on sale at canadian tire for $100CAD.
    Pretty good price given they retail for $140 here.

    Haven't used it yet for my jetta or the taco (since it hasn't been delivered) but had to use it on my grandmothers car and my girlfriend's moms car. Worked great each time.

    SHIT HAPPENS!

    I have always carried cables, but if I can have something more versatile and takes up less space, shouldn't I consider it?

    Better gas mileage from reduced weight, or more storage space. And Toyotacare will change a tire for you, so why keep it in there?

    #1. I can afford the few extra pennies in gas to make up for the extra weight.

    #2. Don't need more storage space.

    #3. To make you wonder why I keep it in there.

    :rolleyes: And Thank You for your concern.

    Good thing to look into OP. I have used mine a lot. The better ones are massive power reserves for camping and offroading. Plus if you ever have an alternator failure one can get you home. I know, sounds crazy but it will. Especially from spots where Toyota Care tells you to go fuck yourself lol...

    I use this one. The company deals with a local vendor and has top notch warranty:

    No. it gave me one good crank, one very low crank and lost the juice to crank it up again. I did use the boost setting.
