Looking for recommendations on best jump starters that you’ve personally used. Lots of reviews on Amazon, but would rather hear what y’all have to say.
 
Been very impressed with the NOKO Pro, mine sits in truck during a range of cold to warmer temps and always near full charge when needed.
 
I did some research on them early last year and came up with Noco being the best bang for the buck. I got the 1000A unit that has seen tons of use. Recently bought the 2000A unit and only had to use that once so far, when I drained the battery on the 1000A unit starting my tractor on a very cold day. The 2000A unit is a good size for the 7.3L Gas engine.

If I had to pick a more economical 2nd choice, it would probably be the Tacklife T8 Pro, but the cables seem very thin (like the Gooloo). I liked my Noco 1000A unit so much, I was a repeat customer when I needed a larger unit, so that's what I can say about that.
 
I own this one NOCO Boost Pro GB150. It is jump my 2004 F-150 5.4 with a dead battery. Reading 10.4 volts
 
I went with Jump and Carry. Big but nice have it for large equipment and trucks.

"haven't jumped the diesel with it haven't need to but its rated for the diesel, but have used on my f150 about 20 times ... auto zone batteries suck"

WTF? There must be more to this than just bad batteries!

changed the auto zone battery 3 times since i got the battery in Sep 2018 ... the batteries only last 6 months before they start to fail ... i just replaced it again last week .... it used to be i had to start every other day but this time it was dead after a few hours ... and the truck was telling me when its on acc power that the battery was low... but it would have 12 v but low amps
 
You sure your alternator is good?

yep, been tested several times ... also when the truck is finally started it charges the battery with no issues .... but the battery is not holding the charge it has
 
Why you need one? you have a Tremor!!!!
well you never know when you need it ... also i have used it to start co workers cars several times as well ... also mainly need for the f150 and the jeeps
 

i own this one and it really good, zero issues and haven't jumped the diesel with it haven't need to but its rated for the diesel, but have used on my f150 about 20 times ... auto zone batteries suck, but works great and starts perfectly

Ditto on this one, Project Farmer reviewed all of them on his youtube channel and this was #1
