Thinking of getting a power pack for charging / jump starting cars and also with a compressor just for handiness to have in the garage.
Seen halfords have 2 on their website, had a quick look on machine mart at 2 sealey ones aswell.
Anyone got any reccomendations, ones to avoid and best places to get them?

As well as the two in the Power Pack category, they also have a cheaper one -

Not sure if that has a compressor. I had one that looked exactly the same and it did do but that doesn't mention it.

I got mine cheaper than that from JTF and I would think places like Costco would have them if you have access.

Compressor isnt essential but would be handy to have. I've got access to costco, dont go there often unless I hear of something worth getting so will have to check it out

That one might have one, mine which looked the same but was cheaper did, it tucks in the side and the controls are on the back.

I bought this one a few years ago and it's been spot on.

Powerfull enough to start my Veccy V6 VXR and the compressor is good too. Can't fault it TBH.

Cheers for that Graeme, was going to put a post on a local forum asking if anyone knew if costco had to save me the 120 mile round trip to find theyve nothing
That one seems fine, do you know what capacity it'll start up to? Seen some sealey ones which were only reccomended up to starting a 1.2, pretty useless

That same one thats in costco is £84 on ebay
