| I got one of these after my nephew used his to pump up my tire at a remote lake location. He had used it to charge a boat battery the same trip. I can now adjust my tire pressures at home without having to deal with the gas station line and while the tires are still cool. I hope to save a little gas and if either car has battery issues this winter we'll be ready. Its reasonably easy to use and the gauge seems accurate. Do read the instructions on keeping the unit's battery regularly charged so its ready when you need it. |

 "Very handy inflator" | 2008-06-18 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3N622UGVQ0JWL |
| Not had to use to jump start my car yet. Bought it mainly for the inflator which works very nicely. This works really well for sports balls and bike tires - which was the main purpose of buying the thing. The pressure gauge is a great touch. Would like to have seen some storage for the adapters and the unit is very noisy. Really notice the noise when inflating car tires and the unit is running for a couple of minutes. |

 "Not enough oomph" | 2008-04-29 |

| I have an old RV (440 dodge engine) that I store in Mexico and always needs a jump to start. This wouldn't even turn the engine, even though I can jump the RV with my Suzuki Aerio with a 2L engine. So basically not enough power for big engines. At least I could inflate my tires, for what that's worth. |

| I am a single female who owns a vehicle with a "mystery" electrical problem, which tends to drain the battery. I purchased this product as a temporary "fix" until I can have the electrical problem fixed. My son purchased a different product which only inflates your vehicle's tires. When he brought it home he suggested I should purchase one for my tires. I just chuckled and said, "Wait here one moment." (I couldn't resist "trumping" him with my new purchase.) His eyes widened and he proceeded to head outside with my new starter/inflator to put air in his truck's tires. Needless to say, his purchase was returned and he'll be purchasing a Black & Decker starter/inflator. He said it worked great. We live in an extremely rural area and both features of the product are indispensable to us. Even when you're out, it's not always easy to find someone willing to "jump" your vehicle. While working as a waitress (working the night shift) I had left my headlights on. Of course, after my shift my car's battery was dead. My "regulars", five elderly gentlemen, were still having their coffee and I asked if anyone could help me. Within minutes they were all standing outside with similar products in hand. I was so impressed I promised myself that someday I would own one too and now I do. It's also nice to know I no longer have to search for a place with an air hose that actually works. I'm a die-hard Black & Decker fan and own several cordless tools which I use frequently. I felt this product was not only easy to use; but, very reasonably priced for the convenience and peace of mind it provides. I no longer have to worry about being "stranded" late at night or waiting on a family member or friend to come "rescue" me. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a starter/inflator. |

 "Two types of model VEC012CBD" | 2008-02-25 |
| - Reviewed By kdemeri |
| I talked to customer service for Black and Decker. Apparently there are two types of VEC012CBD car battery jumpers with the same model number. One comes with the LED light and 12 volt socket, and one doesn't. Also, the older models have plastic clamps instead of metal. So, if you order the VEC012CBD, it's a crapshoot which of the jumpers you're going to end up with. Some of the people at Black and Decker don't know this. I was phoned by customer service finally to explain the descrepancy. |

| I received this as a Christmas present. Last week we had the stereotype Minnesota cold, it was 15 below with a wind chill that brought it to 40 below. My car battery thought it was way too cold to work. I pulled the START IT out and within minutes got my car jumped and working. Very easy to work and the START IT held its charge from a month before when I had originally charged it up. |
