The thing I like about PF is that the average person can go out, duplicate his testing methodology and see if they get the same or differing results [not that I dispute his conclusions]. No multi-million dollar UL, CSA, NASA, Livermore National Laboratory needed.
I'm an old guy and all that rapid fire tech. talk goes right over my head. BUT, when you attached them to the vehicle and turned the key. THAT answered all my questions.

I like the real world (actual jump start) tests he does the best, but found the new additions useful and interesting. Fun to see what they actually do. I was in Harbor Freight to buy the Viking, but thought I need to research these. So glad Project Farm did these! The Viking failed both times! Saved me from wasting time and money.
Hi, if could do another car battery jumper unit test including those 2 units that I would call the winners of test 1 & 2 (audu ?) It was funny that Harbour freights failed so badly and I was about to buy 1
@@remyllebeau77 More stuff from sources other than China would indeed be nice. Also, details like clamp construction can be crucial. Who wants a clamp with plastic hinges that easily break easily on first use, rendering the jump box useless? Noco GB70, GB150, and Gooloo GP4000 have clamps with metal hinges.
Too bad their products don't last - mine died within a year after only one use - just avoid it & buy the NOCO - I know it seems expensive but it lasts longer than a few months and one use. A lot of mechanics I know have NOCO and use them every day. I was hugely skeptical given it's a lot more $$$ and bought a Gooloo instead - a total waste of money. I think the difference is the quality of the charge regulation, the Gooloo just overcharges itself and dies.
@@Mickt6 They are only meant for emergencies - these tiny batteries are delivering a HUGE current for their size and will quickly die with constant use... :)
Bought a Gooloo 4000 based on this review last winter. Came back to say it saved my butt several times as I had a bad battery. Also helped out my neighbor. Awesome battery and review!
Same here. Unbelievably it saved me as well. Your review helped me make the Gooloo 4000 purchase and what do you know literally 2 days after purchase my car battery died!
Very thorough reviews. Great job! One additional thing that I would love for you to test is to fully charge all of them and put them away for 1-3 months, then see how they work without topping off. This would simulate a very important use case for those who throw them in the trunk and expect them to work at an unexpected time. Some models (like the early Tacklife models) have a mechanical on-off switch that physically disconnects the batteries during storage. In theory, this might reduce the rate of discharge vs. an electronic pushbutton (which always bleeds off a little juice even when turned off). All batteries have some level of self-discharge, so it's a question of whether the physical on-off button makes a significant difference, or is it negligible.
I do the 3 month thing with my Shumacher Lithium Ion pack now. Have for 3-4 years. 3 months is no issue for a good unit. 6 months really either, stored in my trunk or floorboard. Start your rig/car/truck and and as soon as you are up and running you just recharge your battery pack for next time. I doubt 3-6 months storage for the GooLoo will be any harder than on my current 4 yr old Shumacher. Probably easier with new technology. I paid $80 for my Shumaker, 4 years ago, so about same price re: current vs old dollars. Gotta trust Project Farm. Better testing than I could ever do.

The dedication and time you take out of your day to upload informational content for people you've never met is quite astonishing. I and all of your viewers respect you for what you do and the time that you sacrifice for us. I would say that i wish that more youtubers were like you, but i know that it wouldn't ever happen.

I bought their Vulcan jumpstarter and it has yet to let me down. I worked at a car repair shop and among the cars it's started included a long unstarted Mercedes diesel sedan. It's started everything I've needed to start. They're always on sale, I didn't pay list price. I have no complaints with it.

Hello “Project Farm” from S.C. USA! I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and usually I’m not much of a commenter but, I just wanted You to know what a great service you provide. You do EXCELLENT work with your truly unbiased “Real World” testing methods. I never miss an episode. I’m always impressed with your mannerisms and by the way you get to the real world FACTS fast without all the boring, unnecessary info that most other Channels of this type seem to do. Also, I really like the bar graphs that you supply, they are very easy to understand at a glance. I’ve grown to trust you, as if we were real life friends. Now, whenever I need to buy some new product, I turn to your channel FIRST over “Consumer Reports” and any other type channel/website. Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do! I’ll definitely be ordering one of your great looking T-Shirts to show my support and help spread the word of your AWESOME channel. 👍👍
with so many different variations ,your comparison reviews really help consumers on their decision making process. another round of reviews on the newer models that's available will be wonderful! Awhile back i bought a jump starter at Costco and it didn't jump my car when I needed it the most. Luckily i was able to return it and get a refund. It is best to go with the comparison reviewed like the ones you tested here. I think you are doing great service to the public!
*Strokes his Gooloo and says well done my precious* lol. It's always a great day to see a product you bought do well on Project Farm! Fantastic video thankyou!
Man I swear you include harbor freight products in these test just for the comedy content. Thank you very much as always. Are we getting an oil filter test soon?
HF stuff is mostly good, but buyer beware. You don't always get your money worth for HF stuff since it's not worth the hassle to bring back a failed power tool and hope it's before the 90-day warranty!

Each of your videos is informative and helpful. The fact that you consistently re-test different devices as the market changes with them is brilliant. I worried if you could keep the channel going at a certain point but the recent wiper video and this one have really cemented the fact that you've got so much content you can make. I've been subbed to your patreon for a few months now and will continue to do so. Thank you for doing what you're doing. Helping people save money in these times is especially important.
EXCELLENT testing - I've been looking for jump starter testing by someone who actually knows what they are doing. Great job with various temperatures, meter testing, small 2.0 Ranger, and then the diesel tractor. This is the best and most comprehensive testing I've seen!
Everyone needs to be careful normally when Chinese brand gets a good review within a couple months they switch out the batteries with cheap ones and sell it for the same price.
The only negative thing I can say about your videos is that once they're released, Amazon generally sells out of the high performers pretty quickly. Took me nearly two weeks to get a Gooloo GP4000 in Canada. Awesome vids! Thanks for making them.
Its been awesome to see how much this channel has grown and how much happier @Project Farm is in making his videos over the last couple years. Keep up the good work brotha! 👍
I saw one of your earlier videos where you mentioned you were/are in the military. I wanted to thank you for your service, greatly appreciated. Because of your first video on jumpstarters, I bought the audew. Haven't had to use it yet, but I'm hoping it will be ready if my wife and son ever need it. Thank you for all of your videos and the work you put in to them.
As the year is drawing to an end, I would love to see a Wrap-Up for this years videos, or maybe for all of your videos so far. Kind of like a best worst highlight reel. Youre focus is generally scientific method but Id love to hear your takes and see what surprised you the most, what the biggest disappointments were, and maybe what future plans you might have are
I love how when I'm looking for a new product and i see a ProjectFarm video i can guarantee I'm going to get the best product! Thank you for all the time and sweat you put into all of you video. Much appreciated!
Actually actually mean the Harbour Freight staff, but yeah I wouldn’t be happy about it either that their product failed not once but twice. I have a few of their products and are happy with them but thanks to project farm, This is one product I noticed stay far far away from
@@paul62462 yeah, some harbor freight products r surprisingly good & some r not so hot. Great to have this channel to see honest reviews & testing. I'm forever promoting this channel when ppl r looking for info. Well deserved .
Chances are extremely high that the dislikes come from people who discovered that what they wanted to be real, was in fact not real. They may have seen their favorite brand not support claims made by the manufacturer. Another possibility, they are from people who do not want new information to enter their brain. Sadly, those sorts of people are everywhere. lol
I owe that Viking. It’s been reliable for me, but it’s fussy when hooking it up. I have to hook the clamps on to the battery before plugging into the booster if order for the light to turn green. I don’t know what that is about. It started my Farmall 756 gas on the second try.
It's really nice to have someone who would put these units to actual real life load and stress tests. I've looked at some other sites that just tell you what they think and not show you in detail like this... KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK !!!
Definitely the BEST and most comprehensive test I’ve ever seen on jump starters. I’m waiting for the delivery of my NOCO GBX155. Hope it will perform well.
That noko has me really impressed...depending on the issue, sometimes the length of time that you're able to turn the engine over is more important than turning the engine quickly.

I bought a NOCO GB40 after watching several videos on YT a couple of years ago. They've been in business since 1914. It hasn't failed to start our vehicles within 3-4 seconds. One of the best things about these jump starters is you don't have to jockey a second vehicle within battery cable distance to start your vehicle. If I ever need to start a vehicle without a battery, it will do it. Great video. Solid gold info. Thanks, Todd!
I accidentally left one of my wife's car doors cracked open last week and she was late to work. I made it up to her by buying her a Gooloo 2000 at your recommendation. She had further battery issues and we had to use it twice before I got a chance to buy her a replacement battery. The Gooloo started the car as quickly as a new battery would while being way easier than jumper cables. Very impressive! Thank you!
I wish the "Best" was concluded at the end of the video rather than hunt through the comments. Thanks Michael Murray. Thanks Project Farm for an excellent video.
Well. For their hand tools I can say they hold up for what they are. Cheap tools with the same lifetime warranty as Snap-On and Matco. “Buy Once Cry Once” only works for non-lifetime tools/items. My two cents.
@@dutchynehtam Their corded drills and angle grinders aren't half bad either. Both of mine have held up to abuse for many years without skippin a beat.
these videos are actually really well edited.. I mean if I focus on something else for just 10 seconds I will have missed something. A lot of good information in a short amount of time big thumbs up!
I was most impressed with the cranking ability of the Tacklife unit. Turned over the diesel tractor as well as the other vehicle both with a very strong spin. Perhaps it's time to give up my other 2 Chinesium "PCT Brands - CHARGEIT Jump Deluxe Total Emergency Kit" (the only thing "Emergency" about them was the flashlight providing a 3 dot [short], 3 dash [long], 3 dot [short] SOS flash with the flashlight, as both of the air pumps for tires failed on the very first use, so not even a low tire Emergency is covered by them). But they have started a Chevy diesel V8, then a 427 69 Stingray, then a Subaru Outback XT Limited (so with the WRX STi turbocharged engine) before having to be recharged. But the turning power of that Tacklife was darn impressive!
I have a gooloo and it has served me well for several years now. Talked my wife through a jump start once over the phone and got herself home. Just want to give a plug for something that really worked for us. Great videos!
@@ProjectFarm Always man! You do so much work for us and I make alot of decisions based on your NON BIAS professional results. Your channel is PRICELESS!
First time seeing one of your videos and you are by far THE BEST!!! You get right to the point without senseless anecdotal talking which is always frustrating. You perform so many tests and give us so much essential information! Thank you!
Thank you for doing these reviews, one thing I'd love to see in this one, (though it might be a little work on your part) is a measurement of the RPM logged over time when you are cranking these engines. You could then overlay the data in a graph displaying RPM vs Time, so we could easily see which cranked the fastest vs which cranked the longest. A metric that I think would be very nice to see is which had the largest area under the curve. This would provide a nice display of total amount energy put into cranking, we might find out the winner wasn't the fastest or the longest but a good balance of both. I am an electrical/software engineer myself and happy to offer my help free of charge if you'd ever like it to improve these videos even more. I think you are doing an absolutely fantastic job though and thank you for doing it
This was a cool test. Somewhat dissapointing to see all the manufacturers fall short of their ratings. I've been using a Noco GB150 for years. At the time it was their biggest and newest jump starter. Comes with a nice case and has added features I found very useful as a mechanic. Never came across a vehicle I couldn't start. That largest was a dual battery F350 diesel. I'd definitely be interested in a round 3 test of the newest starters. Manufacturers will continue to come up with new items with outlandish claims for you to test. Thanks Todd @Project Farm
The Gooloo is pretty good I have one little different design but it can jump start like any vehicle with only like 20% battery life left it’s amazing how well it works. I’ve used it on many vehicles and it works even on the biggest diesel truck I’ve tested as well.
This man would sit at a bar line up every beer and just start off “Alright today we’re gonna compare…”. I love this channel the time and effort put into every video, not to mention video expenses. Absolutely fantastic always helping me decide which tools better in such a detailed manner.
I might pick one of those up. I bought a NOCO GB40 not far back and with a full charge it failed to start my wife’s 3.7 Ford Edge this morning. I returned it today. I ended up having to jump it with my truck.
Again. One of the most comprehensive and unbiased channels on the internet. Great content. I've used your testing and controls to make better decisions on purchases from epoxies to drill bits and cutting/grinding wheels. Please keep up the great work. Thanks.
SO unless you carry it everywhere with you in yor back pocket, it's worthless, that is my EXACT POINT. HOW MANY times have you had to jump anything in 10 years, really ? ME- once WASTE OF MONEY
Fantastic video as always. I definitely planning on getting either the Imazing or Gooloo for my sister for Christmas. Something that will make sure that she never get's stranded. :) I know other people have already said it, but so many of us appreciate these videos. Something can have 4.8 stars on Amazon, but you never really know if all those are real, or fake, or just people who are just happy with whatever. Testimonials are so subjective. I have an engineering mindset and really appreciate all the time and effort and care you take to make all of these reviews as consistent and accurate as possible.
Nice job on a real world comparison on jumpstarters! Its hard to know which one is going to do the job they say claim to. Great job project farm! Another great video!👍🏼
I've had one of those smaller gooloo's for almost 3 years now. I top it up once every 6 months or so cause it does seem to have some self discharge issues, but otherwise it has jump started everything I have connected it to no problem, usually spinning the engine over faster than it would have on a regular car battery. I think I paid about $60-80 on Amazon back then. It's mind blowing how cheap and small these things are, yet have no problem jump starting a car....
I bought the Gooloo for my new-to-me 10 year old used minivan after watching your video -- didn't think I'd need it so quickly as my battery was only 3 years old, but yesterday went to take the family out in the morning and oops, vans power slider just beeping at me trying close, and then no crank on the engine... the jump pack got me started in literally 30 seconds. Thank you for all these reviews! You're my first source for info when I'm making decisions!

@@lipsee100 even conscious manufacturers have to have an acceptable AQL rate, for most companies this acceptable failure rate is somewhere around 2.5%. Sure you can drive this number lower with in house manufacturering, stricter quality controls, and longer testing of every product before it's shipped out but it's a balancing trick which if done wrong will drive up the price outside your intended purchaser market. The bigger indicator of if a product has a major defect is if there are many reviews of failures and there are some reviews of failures of these jumpers but the reviews are vastly outnumbered by the positive reviews.
My buddy and I both bought the Gooloo 4000A based on your review and we BOTH had an opportunity to use them within a couple months of buying them. He helped a coworker whose battery died in their parking lot (and caused that person to go buy another Gooloo). My car didn't completely shut off one day in the parking ramp (that's a "thing" now with some push button start vehicles, it seems) and drained the battery. Getting another vehicle in there to jump start would have been really challenging as the ramp was packed and busy that day. I whipped out my Gooloo, attached it to the terminals and my car started like I'd just installed a brand new battery! And it still had all 4 bars of charge! I was really singing your praises that day. When my car jumped to life using that little thing I was so impressed and happy. Thanks for all you do! You do more for people than all of Congress combined. :)
@@zwz.zdenek If the battery voltage is too low to power the ECU, you're absolutely right. You can roll them down the biggest hill on Earth and it won't do you any good. But if the voltage is too low to crank, but high enough to run the ECU before you bump start, it'll work as well on a 2020 vehicle as it does on a 1970's vehicle.
For Round 3 I would suggest including Hulkman Alpha 85 and Alpha 85S which has a pre-heating function for temperatures from -40F. They also will have a Hulkman Alpha 100 out soon as well. Each of the Hulkman come with 65 watt chargers which mean they power up fast as well......Interesting to see how they perform vs the Gooloo.
Great video man, thank you. I hope you're allowing that star to cool down between each test. You were supposed to remove the fuse for the fuel injection system so it doesn't spray gasoline into the cylinders and wash the walls. Disconnecting the coil is the worst thing you could do to electronic control module also known as the computer.

Some models (like the early Tacklife models) have a mechanical on-off switch that physically disconnects the batteries during storage. In theory, this might reduce the rate of discharge vs. an electronic pushbutton (which always bleeds off a little juice even when turned off). All batteries have some level of self-discharge, so it's a question of whether the physical on-off button makes a significant difference, or is it negligible.
Thanks for the video idea.
You could also test a diesel pickup with a cold engine. it would require some pre-heat then start up.
Good point.
I do the 3 month thing with my Shumacher Lithium Ion pack now. Have for 3-4 years. 3 months is no issue for a good unit. 6 months really either, stored in my trunk or floorboard. Start your rig/car/truck and and as soon as you are up and running you just recharge your battery pack for next time. I doubt 3-6 months storage for the GooLoo will be any harder than on my current 4 yr old Shumacher. Probably easier with new technology. I paid $80 for my Shumaker, 4 years ago, so about same price re: current vs old dollars. Gotta trust Project Farm. Better testing than I could ever do.
I've watched for the past 2 years. I have watched your content quality go up a tremendous amount. However the first videos were excellent in their own way. you don't sell out to sponsors, you make %100 unbiased and scientific videos. Not to mention, you read and respond to nearly %100 of your viewers who comment and note their suggestions to help make the videos even better. This my friend is what TH-cam was made for. The dedication and time you take out of your day to upload informational content for people you've never met is quite astonishing. I and all of your viewers respect you for what you do and the time that you sacrifice for us. I would say that i wish that more youtubers were like you, but i know that it wouldn't ever happen. I actually prefer it to stay as it is because this is what makes you special. Keep up the impeccable work on these videos. I hope you and anyone who reads this has a outstandingly great day! 11/15/2020 2:50PM

You don’t want him to test manscaped? “Will this stand up to shearing sheep?” Or simply safe “can I rob my own house with the new security system?” It could be quite interesting.

Probably more excitement than anything. Not only does he buy product but the HF employees get to see how their product works in more extreme conditions.
I bought their Vulcan jumpstarter and it has yet to let me down. I worked at a car repair shop and among the cars it's started included a long unstarted Mercedes diesel sedan. It's started everything I've needed to start. They're always on sale, I didn't pay list price. I have no complaints with it.
Harbor freight doesn’t do too bad in these competitions overall for purposes intended.

All your hard work is very appreciated and amazingly helpful, especially given that it's totally unbiased and independent. Please keep doing what you do and keep all these suppliers of various products honest.
Thanks, will do!
This channel is why I totally rearranged my Sunday routine...to watch your videos.
Hi David, wow, thank you very much! Hope you have a great week!
Hello “Project Farm” from S.C. USA! I’ve been a subscriber for a long time and usually I’m not much of a commenter but, I just wanted You to know what a great service you provide. You do EXCELLENT work with your truly unbiased “Real World” testing methods. I never miss an episode. I’m always impressed with your mannerisms and by the way you get to the real world FACTS fast without all the boring, unnecessary info that most other Channels of this type seem to do.
Also, I really like the bar graphs that you supply, they are very easy to understand at a glance. I’ve grown to trust you, as if we were real life friends. Now, whenever I need to buy some new product, I turn to your channel FIRST over “Consumer Reports” and any other type channel/website. Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do! I’ll definitely be ordering one of your great looking T-Shirts to show my support and help spread the word of your AWESOME channel. 👍👍
Thanks so much!
You should have brought back last years winner for these to compete against
Especially the Audew.
Agreed, I was waiting to see the Audew as it has since been updated as well.
I bought the audew after the last test and it still works great.
it’s hard to find it in stock on amazon
Thanks for the suggestion.
with so many different variations ,your comparison reviews really help consumers on their decision making process. another round of reviews on the newer models that's available will be wonderful! Awhile back i bought a jump starter at Costco and it didn't jump my car when I needed it the most. Luckily i was able to return it and get a refund. It is best to go with the comparison reviewed like the ones you tested here. I think you are doing great service to the public!
Thanks!
*Strokes his Gooloo and says well done my precious* lol. It's always a great day to see a product you bought do well on Project Farm! Fantastic video thankyou!
While the Gooloo is better Chinese manufacturing since it can meet performance metrics, there is the question of longevity and durability.
Man I swear you include harbor freight products in these test just for the comedy content. Thank you very much as always. Are we getting an oil filter test soon?
You are welcome! Thanks for the suggestion.
Sometimes the HF stuff is good value, not this time though. Great channel giving us this information.
HF stuff is mostly good, but buyer beware. You don't always get your money worth for HF stuff since it's not worth the hassle to bring back a failed power tool and hope it's before the 90-day warranty!

You are welcome!
I was literally just looking at these this morning and couldn't decide. This video came at just the right time. Great job! Great video as always!
Glad I could help!
Each of your videos is informative and helpful. The fact that you consistently re-test different devices as the market changes with them is brilliant. I worried if you could keep the channel going at a certain point but the recent wiper video and this one have really cemented the fact that you've got so much content you can make. I've been subbed to your patreon for a few months now and will continue to do so. Thank you for doing what you're doing. Helping people save money in these times is especially important.
Thanks so much for your positive comment! Thanks for being a Patreon and being so supportive!
Always include the Viking in every test, it's hilarious how bad it is.
i actually own two of the viking jumpers. just the other day i used one to jump both my dads 460 van and my 5.0 v-8 car and both were copletely dead.
Mines been working great for almost 2 years
Hit and miss. I have one and it’s started everything from mowers to big Diesel engines. Clearly YMMV.
I had a GB 70 Noco and it was the worst booster pack I ever had. Some products are just hit and miss I guess.
Sir, in the department of "stuff-you-already-know" it's time to say again how much we viewers love you and appreciate your work, Yasher Koach!!
Thanks so much!
EXCELLENT testing - I've been looking for jump starter testing by someone who actually knows what they are doing.
Great job with various temperatures, meter testing, small 2.0 Ranger, and then the diesel tractor. This is the best and most comprehensive testing I've seen!
Thank you!
The various names these products get rebranded as are amazing.
Roll the dice and pick words, you got a product name for your imported goods.
Thank you!
Tacklife makes good stuff, usually.
@@deletdis6173 Agreed!
Everyone needs to be careful normally when Chinese brand gets a good review within a couple months they switch out the batteries with cheap ones and sell it for the same price.
The only negative thing I can say about your videos is that once they're released, Amazon generally sells out of the high performers pretty quickly. Took me nearly two weeks to get a Gooloo GP4000 in Canada. Awesome vids! Thanks for making them.
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.

As the year is drawing to an end, I would love to see a Wrap-Up for this years videos, or maybe for all of your videos so far. Kind of like a best worst highlight reel. Youre focus is generally scientific method but Id love to hear your takes and see what surprised you the most, what the biggest disappointments were, and maybe what future plans you might have are
Thanks for the video idea.
A list of recommended products would and how they were tested would be fantastic!
I second Sam’s suggestion.
“Harbor freight’s Viking has left the building...”
It came back to the building for a refund.
Uggh my dad bought one a few months after last years video. I wish I could have told him to return it.
Jumped a 1971 Camaro yesterday with a jump starter you recommended. Worked like a champ and the owner was extremely grateful. Thanks for all you do.

9 dislikes so far, possibly the Viking staff.
Actually actually mean the Harbour Freight staff, but yeah I wouldn’t be happy about it either that their product failed not once but twice. I have a few of their products and are happy with them but thanks to project farm, This is one product I noticed stay far far away from
@@paul62462 yeah, some harbor freight products r surprisingly good & some r not so hot. Great to have this channel to see honest reviews & testing. I'm forever promoting this channel when ppl r looking for info. Well deserved .
Chances are extremely high that the dislikes come from people who discovered that what they wanted to be real, was in fact not real. They may have seen their favorite brand not support claims made by the manufacturer.
Another possibility, they are from people who do not want new information to enter their brain.
Sadly, those sorts of people are everywhere. lol
I owe that Viking. It’s been reliable for me, but it’s fussy when hooking it up. I have to hook the clamps on to the battery before plugging into the booster if order for the light to turn green. I don’t know what that is about. It started my Farmall 756 gas on the second try.
I am convinced that early, and maybe most, dislikes are bots, not real views.
It's really nice to have someone who would put these units to actual real life load and stress tests. I've looked at some other sites that just tell you what they think and not show you in detail like this...
KEEP UP THE EXCELLENT WORK !!!
Thank you very much, will do!
Definitely the BEST and most comprehensive test I’ve ever seen on jump starters. I’m waiting for the delivery of my NOCO GBX155. Hope it will perform well.
Thanks so much! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome testing techniques PF! 👍😊 Great respect for the patience and the time spent on these experiments 👏👌

That noko has me really impressed...depending on the issue, sometimes the length of time that you're able to turn the engine over is more important than turning the engine quickly.

I bought a NOCO GB40 after watching several videos on YT a couple of years ago. They've been in business since 1914. It hasn't failed to start our vehicles within 3-4 seconds. One of the best things about these jump starters is you don't have to jockey a second vehicle within battery cable distance to start your vehicle. If I ever need to start a vehicle without a battery, it will do it. Great video. Solid gold info. Thanks, Todd!
Thanks and you are welcome!
Thank you for these videos!!! They are my go to when looking for reliable info. Keep up the awesome work. We would all be lost without you 😁

I accidentally left one of my wife's car doors cracked open last week and she was late to work. I made it up to her by buying her a Gooloo 2000 at your recommendation. She had further battery issues and we had to use it twice before I got a chance to buy her a replacement battery. The Gooloo started the car as quickly as a new battery would while being way easier than jumper cables. Very impressive! Thank you!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Best Overall: Gooloo GP4000

Well. For their hand tools I can say they hold up for what they are. Cheap tools with the same lifetime warranty as Snap-On and Matco. “Buy Once Cry Once” only works for non-lifetime tools/items. My two cents.

I've been a follower of yours for a while - cannot say how excited I was to see you had a test up for a product I'm looking to purchase.
Thanks! Glad to hear!
I was most impressed with the cranking ability of the Tacklife unit. Turned over the diesel tractor as well as the other vehicle both with a very strong spin. Perhaps it's time to give up my other 2 Chinesium "PCT Brands - CHARGEIT Jump Deluxe Total Emergency Kit" (the only thing "Emergency" about them was the flashlight providing a 3 dot [short], 3 dash [long], 3 dot [short] SOS flash with the flashlight, as both of the air pumps for tires failed on the very first use, so not even a low tire Emergency is covered by them). But they have started a Chevy diesel V8, then a 427 69 Stingray, then a Subaru Outback XT Limited (so with the WRX STi turbocharged engine) before having to be recharged. But the turning power of that Tacklife was darn impressive!
Great point
Thanks for doing all these tests ,way better than reviews on Amazon!
Thank you!
It really amazes me that someone at Amazon hasn't called someone at TH-cam and gotten him banned...

@@ProjectFarm Always man! You do so much work for us and I make alot of decisions based on your NON BIAS professional results. Your channel is PRICELESS!
First time seeing one of your videos and you are by far THE BEST!!! You get right to the point without senseless anecdotal talking which is always frustrating. You perform so many tests and give us so much essential information! Thank you!
You are welcome!
I decided to buy one of these, so I watched your channel first! Thank you for doing all these test!
Thank you for doing these reviews, one thing I'd love to see in this one, (though it might be a little work on your part) is a measurement of the RPM logged over time when you are cranking these engines. You could then overlay the data in a graph displaying RPM vs Time, so we could easily see which cranked the fastest vs which cranked the longest.
A metric that I think would be very nice to see is which had the largest area under the curve. This would provide a nice display of total amount energy put into cranking, we might find out the winner wasn't the fastest or the longest but a good balance of both.
I am an electrical/software engineer myself and happy to offer my help free of charge if you'd ever like it to improve these videos even more. I think you are doing an absolutely fantastic job though and thank you for doing it
You are welcome! Thanks for the video idea.
He's a simple man, he just needs a few jump starters to make his day
Thanks for watching!
Comment 2: skip to 9:38 to see the ignition coil arcing to what I believe is the cruise control.
Isn't it amazing how far these little guys have come, as a kid working in the wrecking yard we had to drag a battery to the dead car. thanks for this.
You are welcome!
This was a cool test. Somewhat dissapointing to see all the manufacturers fall short of their ratings. I've been using a Noco GB150 for years. At the time it was their biggest and newest jump starter. Comes with a nice case and has added features I found very useful as a mechanic. Never came across a vehicle I couldn't start. That largest was a dual battery F350 diesel. I'd definitely be interested in a round 3 test of the newest starters. Manufacturers will continue to come up with new items with outlandish claims for you to test. Thanks Todd @Project Farm
These videos are habit forming..... I can’t stop watching! Thanks for what you to make me a better informed consumer.
Glad you like them! Thanks!
The Gooloo is pretty good I have one little different design but it can jump start like any vehicle with only like 20% battery life left it’s amazing how well it works. I’ve used it on many vehicles and it works even on the biggest diesel truck I’ve tested as well.
Thanks for the feedback.
This man would sit at a bar line up every beer and just start off “Alright today we’re gonna compare…”. I love this channel the time and effort put into every video, not to mention video expenses. Absolutely fantastic always helping me decide which tools better in such a detailed manner.
Thanks!
Your face makes me happy... Such a quality TH-camr... Stay safe
Glad to hear! Thanks for watching.
In my experience the best jump starter is the one that’s with you when car/boat won’t start. They don’t work very well when left in your garage.
Unless you have a good extension cable
Just bought Gooloo 4000, probably will save my live or someone else in mountains of Idaho.
Thanks for great videos, long time subscriber!
Thanks for sharing. You are welcome! Thanks for being a long time subscriber!
Which mountains?
Where did you find one. Amazon is out of that one. Thanks.
I might pick one of those up. I bought a NOCO GB40 not far back and with a full charge it failed to start my wife’s 3.7 Ford Edge this morning. I returned it today. I ended up having to jump it with my truck.
Again. One of the most comprehensive and unbiased channels on the internet.
Great content.
I've used your testing and controls to make better decisions on purchases from epoxies to drill bits and cutting/grinding wheels.
Please keep up the great work. Thanks.
SO unless you carry it everywhere with you in yor back pocket, it's worthless, that is my EXACT POINT. HOW MANY times have you had to jump anything in 10 years, really ? ME- once
WASTE OF MONEY
@@gocanada9749 Don't know what the hell is up you but the one I got sees action at least twice a month.
Fantastic video as always. I definitely planning on getting either the Imazing or Gooloo for my sister for Christmas. Something that will make sure that she never get's stranded. :)
I know other people have already said it, but so many of us appreciate these videos. Something can have 4.8 stars on Amazon, but you never really know if all those are real, or fake, or just people who are just happy with whatever. Testimonials are so subjective. I have an engineering mindset and really appreciate all the time and effort and care you take to make all of these reviews as consistent and accurate as possible.
Nice job on a real world comparison on jumpstarters! Its hard to know which one is going to do the job they say claim to.
Great job project farm! Another great video!👍🏼
Thanks! 👍
I've had one of those smaller gooloo's for almost 3 years now. I top it up once every 6 months or so cause it does seem to have some self discharge issues, but otherwise it has jump started everything I have connected it to no problem, usually spinning the engine over faster than it would have on a regular car battery. I think I paid about $60-80 on Amazon back then.
It's mind blowing how cheap and small these things are, yet have no problem jump starting a car....
That's awesome!
I bought the Gooloo for my new-to-me 10 year old used minivan after watching your video -- didn't think I'd need it so quickly as my battery was only 3 years old, but yesterday went to take the family out in the morning and oops, vans power slider just beeping at me trying close, and then no crank on the engine... the jump pack got me started in literally 30 seconds.
Thank you for all these reviews!
You're my first source for info when I'm making decisions!
Glad it worked out! Thank you!
I don't know another testing/review channel that I trust more than yours.

Glad it helped!
I have a GB70 (often can be had on black Friday sales for about $100) and have used it multiple times to jump friends and always been pleased with it.
Thanks for sharing.
I have one,, it does not work ,,its out of warranty,, only used twice,and the 12v online once,then Kerput ,not working ,only 25% showing,,Would I buy again? errrrrr NO ,,, I advise you to sell now ,while its still working.
@@lipsee100 you can always have a faulty one, I've used mine for 3 years and over a dozen times without problems.
@@davidreddick3016 so what you are saying is,,, its hit or miss!
@@lipsee100 even conscious manufacturers have to have an acceptable AQL rate, for most companies this acceptable failure rate is somewhere around 2.5%. Sure you can drive this number lower with in house manufacturering, stricter quality controls, and longer testing of every product before it's shipped out but it's a balancing trick which if done wrong will drive up the price outside your intended purchaser market. The bigger indicator of if a product has a major defect is if there are many reviews of failures and there are some reviews of failures of these jumpers but the reviews are vastly outnumbered by the positive reviews.
My buddy and I both bought the Gooloo 4000A based on your review and we BOTH had an opportunity to use them within a couple months of buying them. He helped a coworker whose battery died in their parking lot (and caused that person to go buy another Gooloo). My car didn't completely shut off one day in the parking ramp (that's a "thing" now with some push button start vehicles, it seems) and drained the battery. Getting another vehicle in there to jump start would have been really challenging as the ramp was packed and busy that day. I whipped out my Gooloo, attached it to the terminals and my car started like I'd just installed a brand new battery! And it still had all 4 bars of charge!
I was really singing your praises that day. When my car jumped to life using that little thing I was so impressed and happy.
Thanks for all you do! You do more for people than all of Congress combined. :)

Too bad that won't work with modern electronic cars.
@@zwz.zdenek Works on my 2017 just as well as my 1995. The 2017 is push to start and can still be bump started like that.
@@zwz.zdenek If the battery voltage is too low to power the ECU, you're absolutely right. You can roll them down the biggest hill on Earth and it won't do you any good. But if the voltage is too low to crank, but high enough to run the ECU before you bump start, it'll work as well on a 2020 vehicle as it does on a 1970's vehicle.
@@zwz.zdenek Or up hills right?
For Round 3 I would suggest including Hulkman Alpha 85 and Alpha 85S which has a pre-heating function for temperatures from -40F. They also will have a Hulkman Alpha 100 out soon as well. Each of the Hulkman come with 65 watt chargers which mean they power up fast as well......Interesting to see how they perform vs the Gooloo.
Thanks for the video idea.

Disconnecting the coil is the worst thing you could do to electronic control module also known as the computer.
You are welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
This channel is a blessing. I make a majority of my tool decisions from this channel because of your tests. You show true tests and you aren’t biased towards a brand because you pay for these yourself
Thanks so much!
