Milwaukee Tools

Not sure I understand the point of Milwaukee competing in that space. The cost of the M18 battery will be about as much or more than a quality unit from NOCO.

 

I’m sure the “tool only” version sales will be quite high on a product like this.

 

Depending on the price you might be right.

 

Calling it now that the tool-only version will still be more expensive than a noco…

…but I’ll still want one cause I’m a sucker

 

$299

I'd get one of these if you want a serious jump pack. We use the absolute shit out of these at work.

Oof!

I was interested for a second.

 

Thanks!

I've had good luck with Schumacher products in the past. I have also been considering something a bit more substantial than the cell phone sized jump-starter I currently carry.

 

Welcome!

We use them for when equipment/semis need a steady supply of power to keep them running like when they have a bad alternator. It'll start a truck without any issues. Our Cap Start 3000s like having some voltage to turn on the power so we will use them to get the voltage up to make the Cap Start happy. They stand behind that 2 year warranty as we've had 2 get warrantied.

 

I've had excellent results with Antigravity Micro-Start for jumps. One in each vehicle.

 

Down sides of this Milwaukee. No steady power, won’t get a long crank, 30 sec to try to start may not be useful for troubleshooting.

 

Just like the Nocos. We've used those at work and they just dont perform really well

 

What the hell is it doing for 70 seconds?

 

Waiting for the capacitor to charge.

 

Oof.

Capacitors are a neat solution for jumping off of what would otherwise be under-sized batteries, but you really have to want that convenience for that kind of price

 

i just saw the news on toolguyd.

$300 for a tool-only device, that's physically larger, starts smaller motors, AND needs '70 seconds' to charge up...

i'll keep to my $60 acmount jump pack thanks.
