Pros
  • Runs from a truck battery or jump pack, so it works at the roadside or in a field with no outlet
  • A 9 ft cord reaches from the battery to most of the vehicle
Cons
  • About $630 to $700 for the lowest rated output in the category
  • One-year warranty, and the Bearing Buddy rope coil does not fit
