Bremon Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 They have multiple similar products at Canadian Tire, which is the only retailer I've seen it at around these parts. Hopefully they are good quality. 1 Quote

RickyMcGrath Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Posted December 4, 2016 Yes. They're in HD. at least they are in Houston. They're still inactive in the system. So you have to hunt them down in top stock. 1 Quote
RickyMcGrath Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Posted December 4, 2016 I'm going to get the bench charger tomorrow. It's not at a store near me. 1 Quote

Framer joe Posted December 4, 2016 Report Posted December 4, 2016 I read the specs on it at Canadian tire....i get it charges using usb..and jump starts a car battery...and has ac outlets...do you plug this in to charge ..it.. ? how long does it take to charge this ? how long can i power a tool off this ? . ... 1 Quote
RickyMcGrath Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Posted December 4, 2016 Initial impressions are that this thing is very well built. I'm doing the initial charge on it now. The compressor has a digital setting. You choose the PSI, start it and it fills until the PSI reaches the setting and shuts off. Very nice feature. Has USB chargers, lights on the back, detachable leads. The leads are short. VERY short. So the jump box needs to sit on top of the battery basically. But, I imagine an option to buy longer leads since they are detachable quick connect. It also has a watt meter for the 110v outlets to tell you how many watts draw you have. 1 Quote

You plug an extension cord into the back. It also has a cigarette light option to charge from the vehicle once you jump started it. This thing is super heavy duty. I can see this being a very useful piece of equipment. 1 Quote
RickyMcGrath Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Posted December 5, 2016 Manual says 40 hours to fully charge via 110v charging method. 1 Quote

JimboS1ice Posted December 5, 2016 Report Posted December 5, 2016 Yes. They're in HD. at least they are in Houston. Saw one of them at a south side Chicago store Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
RickyMcGrath Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Posted December 5, 2016 Saw one of them at a south side Chicago store Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkWhich one did you see? I'm curious if they're doing the same thing as around here. Only certain stores are getting certain models while other stores are getting other models. 1 Quote

RickyMcGrath Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Posted December 5, 2016 It's interesting how these are made by Baccus Global which makes the currently stocked CAT, Stanley and B&D automotive chargers and jump boxes. Seems like a conflict within Home Depot. 1 Quote
Brien Posted December 5, 2016 Report Posted December 5, 2016 What a great find! Have not seen these in Michigan yet. I have been looking for a jump box. Now I will look for these ones. Thanks Ricky! 2 Quote

RickyMcGrath Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Posted December 5, 2016 What a great find! Have not seen these in Michigan yet. I have been looking for a jump box. Now I will look for these ones. Thanks Ricky!I was looking to add one to my Christmas list as my 500amp one just isn't cutting it. I saw someone in Canada posted these so I decided to wait. Thankfully, I found this in the top stock today. It seems to be very well built. The way I am looking at it currently is that Baccus Global has been making the Stanley and B&D units for quite sometime so the quality must be there and the feedback must be positive. Stanley B&D is the parent company for DeWalt so if there were issues, they wouldn't let Baccus put the DeWalt name in the product. It also has the highest amps and watt ratings of any unit I can find. So it boils work on my diesel. 3 Quote
RickyMcGrath Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Posted December 7, 2016 Picked up the bench charger last night. I have initial mixed thoughts. It's very lightweight, light gauge housing. Only comes with one set of leads. The second set has to be purchased separately to take advantage of the dual charge capabilities. The features are fantastic if they work as advertised. I'm going to look for some old batteries to test out. My diesel truck is in the body shop so I can't give it a good testing this week. Once I get my truck back, I'm going to do a little testing on both units to see. The units are all built by the same company and the other units that are branded CAT, Stanley and B&D all have positive reviews. 1 Quote
Framer joe Posted December 7, 2016 Report Posted December 7, 2016 I just want one...or ...maybe both..:)...appreciate your info... 2 Quote
