Look, Dad — No Jumper Cables!

Some of the gadgets being made for cars today are absolutely ludicrous (e.g., see our write up about the French Fry Holder) while others are not only useful, but fall into the “why didn’t someone think of this Wagan Easy Quick Jumperbefore?” category. The Wagan Easy Quick Jumper is one product that falls into the latter and, at a retail price of around $20, should be something every motorist has on hand.

Unlike the usual jumper cables that so many drivers just seem to never have on hand when they need them, the Easy Quick Jumper is a device that can be stashed into the dash for easy access. What’s more, there is no longer a need to lift the hood to get at the battery, as the handy gadget connects two cars by their respective cigarette lighter sockets instead.

This process allows for quick and safe starts without worry that someone will cross currents and fry the battery, getting a dead battery recharged in as little as three to five minutes. There are three embedded LED indicator lights which show the progress of the charge; when the green light shines, you’re ready to start your car and go (please disconnect the device before you drive away – ;-) )

The Wagan Easy Quick Jumper (product #9796) is made of heavy duty construction and is eighteen feet in length, allowing the vehicles to have some distance between them.

Wagan has developed a number of useful gadgets for your car including a Portable Cooler/Warmer, ergonomic seat cushions, air compressors, and more. Lots of fun and practical stuff to make hitting the road a joy — except for the high gas prices!
