Do jumper boxes work??
You almost can not find decent jumper cables,
everyone now sells "jumper boxes". I still use my old jumper cables, but, I was wondering, Have you had success with a jumper box? Weak battery boost? Dead battery boost? Small engine boost? Large engine boost? Other uses for a jumper box? Thanks

I have 2 of them. On GT batteries and the such, they are excellent. On a vehicle battery, if it will crank but not turn over, ya... they pretty much work. I haven't saw one that will take care of a flat out dead battery, keep your jumper cables!

I have used a number of them and the cheaper ones are really just for warm weather motors but as a auto tech we use them 5-10 times a day to jump . have used them on mostly 4 & 6 cly it beats having to drag another car out there . I had one from harbor Frt. that had a inverter built in that was handy

I use a cheap 2 wheel dolly, old car battery and jumper cables to make my own jump box.

Jumper boxes basically have small motorcycle/lawn tractor batteries inside, good for a small power need.
In my opinion not worth the cost. I built a set of 20' double 0 copper welding cable jumpers 30+ years ago. ( and they are heavy) There is no waiting for some dead battery to charge up with these, just hook up, and start the engine. I see these sometimes offered for sale on evilpay but due to the price of copper, they are pricy. They are invaluable around the farm. For what you pay for a jumper box or junk jumper cables multiple times, you can get a really good set of heavy cables that will last a lifetime.

We have 3 in our shop, one trys to stay in the delivery truck to pick up dead mowers. Work great hold a nice charge they come in real handy, not to mention they jump off the owners son's truck every day, cause he was too cheap to buy a batt for about a month.

We have used jumper boxes to start dump trucks at work a few times. Granted, they were not completely dead, but i was surprised that it worked. I have a carquest jumper box that i keep at home. Iv had it for about 6 years now, and it will start everything in my yard. Its a little heavy, but its convenient when you dont have another vehicle to use jumper cables. Jumper boxes are nice, but there will always be a need for a good set of jumper cables.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
