Overall Jumps Great, The Light Is Nice, Takes A While To Inflate A Tire…
I ended up getting a total of 6 of these units for all the trucks at my work. Overall they work fairly well. No problems jumping our work trucks. Chevy 1500 work trucks and a couple ford F150’s. The light comes in handy. The air compressor does take a while to fill up a tire, and the hose is kinda short,but it does work. Other than that, it works great and has a built in battery tester which is nice to see. I have no problem getting multiple jumps in between charges. It recommends charging them once a month even if you don’t use them. 4/5 Stars
Update (5/19/2012): This item is currently on sale here for the lowest price I’ve seen. I also found some auctions for this item here.

Solid Dependable Product
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.

Perfect for me and better than the description
This is esentially the B & D VEC026BD without the inverter of 400 watts, then $ 30 cheaper. This VEC012CBD a template as VEC026BD (on the back of the aircraft out of sight of photographs amazon) even if the description does not include this feature. It was only a 12 volt plug ins no AC, but it is smaller than the VEC026BD and I do not have any use for inverter 400 watts anyway. Our family rides on local bike trails almost every day in summer, I needed a compressor that would allow me to crown the bicycle tires on an almost daily basis without the hassle of having to plug it in. I also looking for a 12 volt power source. I do not care so much battery jumping potential, but it is not bulky. This model has everything I need and nothing I do not. It even says it can not be overridden by the AC charger so it can be left plugged in and ready to go. Good product …
