Good quality and jumped multiple vehicles before needing to be recharged, price is also a plus compared to other models.

  • Battery doesn't hold charge
Never used either one. They do not hold a charge!! It's as if it a scam for purchasing the warranty because the battery packs are old. This Jump Starter shouldn't even have the craftsman name. Bought 2 of them for family members. Charged them and put them in the trunk until traveling. Both are dead... ... show more

  • Craftsman 1000A Car Battery Charger
No power cord so at least a 3 ft outdoor extension cord that fits this charger should be recommended to purchase along with this Craftsman item. Plus if both are purchased, both should arrive at the same time because charging the Craftsman is recommended before use of the product. The soonest Amazon can send the cord will take almost a week. Hopefully the Craftsman works...Hopefully Amazon will highlight the cord to use since not all extension cords fit this Craftsman charger. ... show more

  • Great for the tunk
First off, I love the quality of this charger/jump starter. Most on the market today are frail and break easily, but this Craftsman feels like it's built tough. It had more than enough performance to turn over my dead LS3 Camaro, and the built-in light helped me to see what I was doing. Charging is incredibly easy and safe. I would recommend this to anybody looking for a jump starter or just a little peace of mind while on the road. ... show more
