When you’re out on the road, the last thing you want to deal with is a flat tire, a dead battery, or another unexpected emergency. But you can prepare for life’s sudden inconveniences by buying a good set of tools, keeping them someplace handy — and the trunk of your car’s a perfect place to start. Right now, Amazon is offering a $250 BuTure VAC Beta07 Jump Starter that also doubles as an air compressor for just $100, and one reviewer called it “everything I want in an emergency or road-trip kit.”
BuTure VAC Jump Starter Beta07 with Air Compressor, $100 (was $250) at Amazon
This 10-in-1 portable jump starter tries to do it all, boasting a powerful 8,000-amp lithium-ion battery, a flashlight with four lighting modes, a pressure gauge and 160-pound-per-square-inch air compressor, a fast-charging power bank, and various emergency supplies, including a pair of 400-volt insulated gloves. The kit also comes with heavy-duty jumper cables, USB and USB-C charging cords, an extended air hose for the tire pump (with three air nozzles), an instruction manual, and a rugged carrying case to keep it all together while you’re out on the road.
The jump start is rated for over 1,000 power cycles, can deliver multiple starts on a single full charge, and can stay juiced and ready to go for up to 24 months on standby. The compressor has five different inflation modes and can easily inflate a tire in just two minutes, whether you need to air up your bicycle, a truck tire, a basketball, or anything in between. This starter kit is loaded with safety features, and BuTure VAC offers a two-year return guarantee.
“A couple weeks ago, my Dodge Charger’s battery went dead, and my Stanley jumper box wouldn’t jump it, so I tried this little thing just for the heck of it before calling AAA,” said one shopper. “I hooked it up, pressed ‘boost,’ pushed the start button, and the Charger started as if it had a new battery. It took all of one minute, max.”
Another reviewer wrote, “I’m truly impressed. My wife’s Wrangler had a dead battery, and I was honestly a bit skeptical about whether this would work, but it started the Jeep effortlessly; I’m amazed at how powerful and reliable it is.”
