Hamilton Classic Jump 'n' Start
Price: £49.95 Jump lead length: 0.45m
Decent all-rounder, and it has the fastest compressor here, managing to beat - although only just - the Draper and Clarke versions. The large rear compartment, which houses all leads, hoses and even chargers, is impressive, while the front panel boasts no less than three cigarette lighter sockets. Hamilton claims 400 watts of cranking current and starting was the same as many other units here. Points were lost, though, for ridiculously short jump leads.
