1.0 out of 5 stars DOA Truck Pac Battery Booster, December 6, 2008

By 

Thomas C. Guertin - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Truck PAC ES6000 3000 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter (Misc.)

Purchased new and Clore Automotive refuses to replace DOA batteries. Clore Automotive said the dealer should have sold the product within six months of accepting delievery form the manufacture. Since the manufacture date was greater than six month the unit fail to qualify for manufacture warranty. I am now out $235 and Clore Automotive made a two time profit from me. I am now in the market for a new battery charger and you can bet it will not be another Clore Automotive manufacture defective un-warranty piece of junk.

Thanks
Lack of Customer Service Clore Automotive for showing me the light.

2.0 out of 5 stars Manufacturer will not sell replacement parts!, October 3, 2011

By 

Arnold L. Chase (West Hartford, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Truck PAC ES6000 3000 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter (Misc.)

The ES-6000 is indeed a powerful unit, but the case started breaking apart after a few years. First the sides where the battery clamps attach fell off, then the center handle broke off. The company refuses to sell replacement plastic case parts, and instead only offers a "refurbishment service" which costs as much as a new unit. With the clamp holders and handle missing, there is no place to safely store the the clamps (which are always "live"), thus making the unit in this condition extremely dangerous and unsafe to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Jump box I have owned, August 16, 2011

By

This review is from: Truck PAC ES6000 3000 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter (Misc.)

The first Jump box came via UPS and the shipping box was damaged. Inside, the heavy unit was cracked open.
The seller replaced it immediately and I sent the other one back, no problem.

Cons: Like another reviewer mentioned, if you touch the cables together, it's gonna spark, big time. D'oh!
So, if common sense prevails, you don't touch the cables together.

On the pro side, I have used this to jump start a Tri-axle Mack truck in the dead of winter a few dozen times. When it's below freezing, I need to hook up a car in tandem, but it's a 1980 POS truck with 3 big batteries. In summer just the Truck Pac will start it. I've also used it to start 24 Volt excavators and loaders, but you need to be careful how you hook it up.
For cars, it'll start most everything, even at 20 below..
I actually run my old chevy plow truck, (with electric plow), directly from the jump box, rather then buy and install a new battery for the dozen or so times a year I use the plow.
I've had the Truck Pac 6000 for over 3 years and only last week did it not take a full charge. (I loaned it to an idiot neighbor who somehow hooked it up wrong and then ran it dead trying to start a big block car that was out of gas. Now it's only charging 70%.)
He cooked it to the point of the cables smoking. I think it's low on battery acid. I'll take a look inside and see what makes it tick.

Over all, it's a great thing to have and the long cables are nice. It's paid for itself many times over with all the vehicles it has jumped.
