When you turn your key, to start your car and nothing happens, it can be a very frustrating experience. You typically have to call in help, or hope that someone is around that can provide you a jump for your car.

Thanks to the Porta-Jump, the days of waiting or asking for a jump are over. This handy little device is small enough to transport around, and powerful enough to give your car’s battery the kick that it needs to start.

Here’s a direct quote from JcWhitney.com, who sells the Porta-Jump, “Deliver power to your vehicle’s battery through the cigarette lighter or power port. In 10 minutes or less, from the convenience and safety of your vehicle, you can be back on the road. No waiting for the motor club, roadside assistance or, worse yet, having to leave your vehicle in bad weather or a dangerous area.

JcWhitney is selling the device now for $19.99. It’s up to you to decide whether twenty bucks is worth not having to deal with the hassle of jump starting your battery.
