The Best Portable Jump Starter on Amazon

If you’re wading through pages of search results on Amazon for portable jump starters, while trying to figure out which brand is best, skip the research and enjoy a quick story.

Once upon a time, the Hammer & Home duo was about to leave for dinner.

Brad had gotten home late from the jobsite.

It was already dark out, and if they didn’t depart immediately, they’d miss their reservation at the fancy restaurant Tiffany wanted to try.

But one of the SUV tires was low. Verrry low.

To the point where it wouldn’t be a good idea to drive on it. Blame it on some crazy warm/cold weather cycles or a slow leak. Either way, the tire needed air.

Tiffany was hangry.

Taking Brad’s F350 downtown was not an option. Besides trying to find the requisite XXL parking spot, it had … shall we say… a surplus of construction residue.

Enter the Dewalt DXAEJ14 Digital Portable Power Station Jump Starter, which does more than boost car batteries. Not only does it have an air hose, you can set the PSI on the digital screen. The unit is equipped with an auto-stop.

Plus you can light up your heroic work with its on-board LED lights.

A few minutes later, the couple was on their way, still married and still on time for dinner.

Also along for the ride? The lightweight Dewalt Jump Starter, safely stowed.

If their vehicle did indeed have a slow leak, Brad would be able to save the day. Again.

All in a day’s work.

Super Brad

We haven’t done exhaustive tests to ascertain if the Dewalt Jump Starter is better than any other brand out there, but Brad has had it for years and has used it to jumpstart his rather large pickup, no prob.

In addition to getting the job done boosting car batteries and filling tires, the Dewalt Jump Starter even has USB ports for handy dandy device charging.

Dewalt recommends you charge it every 30 days when not in use, but Brad tops it up after he uses it, unless he’s racing to make a dinner reso. It charges using a standard household extension cord, which is sold separately.
