EVERY now and again you come across a gadget and think ‘now that’s a good idea’.
Happens quite a lot with me, and if it’s something that makes life a little bit easier then all’s well and good. And when caravanning is one of your pastimes then something that can come into its own when you’re away from home gets my undivided attention.
Like this WOLFBOX Megavolt16 Air Jump Starter and Air Compressor. The latter function really comes into its own when there’s a regular need to keep a check on the pressure in your caravan tyres, and the car too when you’re towing.
There’s no need to unravel a 12 volt lead to connect to your car or caravan as the unit has a 59.2Wh capacity, so as long as you’ve got it topped up (the display will show you the remaining battery) you’re good to go.
It has the ability to inflate up to 160psi, so the 60psi you will probably need in a caravan tyre is easily attainable.
It comes in a neat black zip up case with the necessary jump cables if needed, so easy to store in the boot. The leads are not long but as the unit is compact it’s easy to get it near to the battery terminals should you need to jump start your car.
It’s available on Amazon and on their big deal days on October 7-8 you can pick one up for £104.49. Use code WOLFAIR2 on those dates and you’ll get an extra 5 per cent off.
* If you just need a backup booster, then the Megavolt 24 4000A will jump start your car – and take up slightly less room in the boot. You can even charge mobile phones and tablets from it (just like the MV16) if you can’t find a nearby source. It comes with a 65W wall charger and USB-C to USB-C cable and has an 88.8Wh capacity.
Again, in Amazon’s sale, the price is down to £99.99, with WOLFMV02 getting you an extra 5 per cent reduction to £94.99.
While we’re on the subject of WOLFBOX products that might just come in handy, here’s another one that normally sells for £71.99 but which you can pick up in the Amazon big deal days for £59.84 using code WOLFMF02.
Ideal for ridding your car of dust that has settled into awkward spaces over the months, the Super Power Turbofan comes with the ability to perform a number of other tasks, like inflating an air bed or a child’s swimming ring.
Number one is cleaning, and with speeds of up to 150,000 rpm there’s not much it won’t shift. The compressed air duster has three adjustable speed settings, and with its type C cable, can be recharged in just two and a half hours, after which it’ll give you 100 minutes to get your task done!
The battery itself is claimed to last for 500 hours of use, which makes it a better option that single use compressed air cans.
It comes with five nozzles and two brushes, so also ideal for cleaning your keyboard and other devices, as well as being useful outdoors.
Warranty and support is 18 months, with 24/7 customer service.
