You might note that all the other videos advertised on the page are equally dodgy.

It would be good for Noddy and Big Ears.

Have a female driver at work,she is one for buying all the latest tech toys(No not that type of toys)she has just purchased one very very similar to this,she runs mainly her IPad and charges her phone with hers,then she was telling us how it could start a car/motor.

We did in fact have a forklift which needed jump starting one morning,so we all thought we would see how her you beaut charger worked,it cranked the little four cylinder engine for about 15-20 seconds,the fork did not start,the little device would not crank the motor a second time,just clicked the solenoid like the flat battery did,so unless your using it on a partially flat battery I wouldn't hold out much hope of starting any vehicle with a completely flat battery.

The next problem is,when you have used it two maybe three times to quick charge a phone or you have run your IPad off of the device Michelle has,you then need to charge it up,hers was about $80,to me it was like the last tech toy she bought totally useless in reality

15-20 seconds is better than I thought it would do. Not sure why anyone would expect more from something that small.... 

I have one of those quick chargers (not for cars) for charging your tablet and phone and it's actually a great little gadget....especially good when you're away from home for a few days.
Mind you, I only paid about $16 for mine on ebay.... 

[Shambles]

I'm expecting AlanHo to buy one of these, as he's a self-confessed technofreak with gadgetmania

You are quite correct that I am a technofreak but - and I hate to disappoint you - I aint gullible...............

I don't know why, but this line sounds awfully familiar to me.....

I don't buy many gadgets  But I bought one of those (thanks Rusty) that is cheap!

Saves carting chargers with you if only going away for a few days 

I might get a solar charger for it!
