Terence's DIY Buy Of The Week! Harbor Freight VIking Jump Pack /Starter Thorough Review & Testing!!

[@rizzo3689]

Was looking around on you tube for jump packs from harbor freight. Man I gotta say you hit everything I was looking for. Thanks for your time making a really great review. Liked and subbed!

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thank you SO much for watching.

[@JosephPaulYoutube]

Man I swear we are doing the same stuff in our yards. Just started looking into adding one of these to the F350. Love your vids man they always pop up.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! And thanks for watching!

[@gilbertdelgado5728]

Really like it hasn’t failed starting any car only downside as a tow truck driver it’s pretty heavy carrying around

[@silverperzon]

Best informative video I’ve seen on one of these. It would’ve most likely ran on the 2nd try if the clamp was on the negative lead terminal. Over the years I’ve found trying to jump off a metal chassis ground yields some struggles compared to a direct connection with the battery cables. Not recommended I know, but it makes starting much easier for the jumper and vehicle. I’ve bought the Viking 3400 12/24V jumper with Harbor Freight’s 25% off coupon two days ago. Knocked $82 off the price. Used it to power our 15K capacity dump trailer with a completely dead battery. Did so with ease!

[@TerenceDIY]

That's awesome! I was going to buy that one, but I settled for this one. I will eventually buy it. Thanks for sharing and watching my content.

[@silverperzon]

@@TerenceDIY No problem, keep up the good work! If you ever get the Viking 3400 I hope you do a video on it. There’s not much info or videos on it at the moment despite being released almost a year and a half ago.

[@TerenceDIY]

@@silverperzon , I am definitely buying it and I will do an amazing video on it. Thanks again for watching.

[@timadkins5978]

Love your videos. In depth and thorough. Thank you

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you very much Tim and thanks for watching.

[@PaperChaser87]

Excellent video bro! You gave us an in depth breakdown of the product and how it works situational. This was what I needed to see. I subscribed!

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. I really appreciate it.

[@jorgeperez3495]

[@carlosavalos7145]

Keep it up man!!! This is what you call a review video.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

​@TerenceDIY Just bought this exact model July 8, 2024. Don't know much about these machines but I fully charged it and when I press the test button the voltage is saying 12.8. Is that okay?

[@TerenceDIY]

That is fine but it should say FULL. How long did you charge it?

[@clbo9878]

@TerenceDIY I charged it until it read full. I pressed the test button and it said 13.2 volts. Shortly afterwards it started reading 12.8 volts still saying full. Again, just want to make sure I don't have a defective product. Do you think everything's okay with it?

[@TerenceDIY]

Yep, you're fine.

[@comstar8291]

Thanks for the video...informative....I now know what I was seeking to know.

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@reuelray]

Had to skip down a ways to check out the battery jumper. That is the primary feature. The tire inflator is the secondary feature. Always do the primary feature first. The minor features like the USB, lights etc; I was expecting them to be on the end of the video.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thanks for the constructive criticism and for watching my content. I will take note.

[@thevenin2]

This was actually a VERY good review, you just got yourself a new subscriber.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you SO much! I really appreciate you subscribing to the channel.

[@mariozavala93]

The Air compressor never works on mine, has yours always worked?

[@TerenceDIY]

Yep, it always work. I never had any issues thus far. Thanks for watching.

[@jeffomalley6015]

Nice job man. I'm pretty impressed especially being that cold.

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@alfredo8431]

Great video just subscribed What is the maximum dc to ac inverter I can put on this? I found a similar one to yours on ebay

[@TerenceDIY]

First and foremost, thank you so much for subscribing and watching my content. I have a 3000 watt dc to ac inverter and I don't think it will run it. Maybe 1500 to 2000 watts inverter?

[@stillstonedd]

I noticed your truck was 350.. v8. I was wondering if that particular 1 can jump my diesel v8 7.3 power stroke I'm aware of the upgraded 1 .

[@pearsjer000]

Awesome review, thank you!

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome Jeremy. Thanks you so much for watching.

[@BiGJerm99ish]

Can you turn the compressor on before you hook it up to the tire? My harbor freight has on “as is” but I couldn’t tell if the compressor worked or not

[@TerenceDIY]

Hi Jeremy, yes, you can turn the compressor on without it being attached to a tire. First step: hold the test/air button for 3-5 seconds until you see the -C- (make sure the switch on the back is off), Secondly: turn the switch on the back on and the compressor should work and the LED display will light up blue. Thanks for watching.

[@BiGJerm99ish]

@@TerenceDIY thank you for your response. That must have been the issue with that jump box. I got to the selection for psi but the power wouldn’t switch on with the power button. Thanks you just saved me $110

[@TerenceDIY]

@@BiGJerm99ish , Awesome. I'm glad I can help. Thank YOU for watching.

[@rogerdodger6997]

Good job!

[@TerenceDIY]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

[@JohnWilliams-sr5ob]

Can it be left plugged in

[@embassysweets8607]

Thanks

[@TerenceDIY]

You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@queeneywarren9474]

The battery charger said full the test vote does not come on why

[@TerenceDIY]

I am not sure. Have you tried to connect it to a battery to see if it reads?

[@queeneywarren9474]

No

[@JohnWilliams-sr5ob]

Can it be left plugged in

[@TerenceDIY]

Yes however, I would not. I would charge it every few months if it's not in use. I haven't used mines in months and I checked it last week and it was still at 100 percent.
