Welcome to Wishlist After Dark! Penny Pickwell, our review reader, Sunny, our head of joy, look at this! The noco Boost GB40 Jump Starter, a portable jump starter, and the perfect gift for the driver who needs a backup in the car! Hi, folks. Marty, breathe. Hi, everybody! I can already see them unwrapping it! Right, Sunny? Dead battery, and the backup's right there! Here it is, folks! Okay, Marty, but what can it actually do?
Oh, look at this, Sunny! One thousand amps peak. That's the most power it pushes in one big burst! Peak, Marty. Top of the burst, not all day. But wait, there's more, Penny! Up to twenty starts per charge! Wait, twenty? I love that! And ShopSavvy says these clamps have spark-proof protection, plus reverse polarity, which is for when you hook them up backwards. Oh, I want one! ShopSavvy says it's a power bank for U S B devices too!
And an L E D flashlight, Marty, with modes like S O S! My turn. We couldn't read Amazon's star rating, so that one's unconfirmed. It is a pick in Giftlist's 2026 gifts for him guide, though. Wait, Penny, so what's the catch? Engine size. ShopSavvy says six liter gas and three liter diesel, so check your vehicle. It also flags short cables and a slow recharge. But Penny, the box! Unit, clamps, U S B-C cable, bag and manual, all ready to wrap!
Okay, Penny, nobody here's tried it, so on paper, what's the score? I'm at seven point one, Sunny's at seven point eight, Marty's at eight point four. That's seven point eight out of ten, first on our auto board. Buy it for that driver, once the engine size checks out. The link's on our site and in the description, folks! See you next time!
