I have not used it. But before I bought it I looked at other ones and I also looked at You tube videos. I would suggest looking at You Tube videos to see which worked best. When I checked them out these worked best.

I haven't needed to use mine yet. Confident that it will break a car window though!

Thankfully no. Nobody has used it but its peace of mind having them incase the time ever came.If question buying. Dont question it....make the purchase. Cause if you needed it and didnt have it, then what?In mine, in wifes, other 2 went to brother and parents vehicles. Again for safety and rather have and never use.

I haven't used it, by watching demos and taking into consideration of the design, it would be easier to use from the outside than the inside. I'm sure that it could have saved 6 lives in the bay area over the last 12 months, After the limo fire on the bay bridge, I bought eight (2 four pks) for families. IMO they should be included with every vehicle sold, just like a jack and lug wrench.

I have not actually tried it in my car - but I will give you my opinions. It has better than average suction. Definitely better than those dustbusters. Not as good as your vacuum (if you have a decent one) and if you are used to the powerful suction of a shopvac or the vacuums at the car washes, you will be disappointed. Otherwise - I think it would be a passing second to hauling your inside vacuum out of the house to the garage outlets. If you are talking about sucking up tons of things from cars used by kids - I would go use a car wash vacuum. If you are just talking about general dirt, something that's spilled and vacuuming upholstery - then yes - I think it would be fine. Hope that helps.

I would not recommend using this in that way. It is a push pull apparatus and in my opinion would not work correctly with only the gas pedal. I bought this for my paralyzed brother but when it is hooked up in his car, I can use it as well. It just takes some getting used to. It's not hard to hook up but for time sake, I just leave it hooked up and use it myself if I happen to need to use his car.

No; In my opinion, this is a very light-duty device; really only meant to help a person change a tire on a very light-duty vehicle in an emergency.

Yes, it is a great preventative maintenance, or keep for emergency use, especially for older cars and trucks. Best not to overuse though, and follow manufacturer's instruction regarding use. I have found this to be an excellent item to keep in glove box for emergency use, in all vehicles. Hope this helps.

It is great in any car. I am a sales manager at a large company. I put it in my company car and my personal car. People ask me about them and I just keep them on the company cars when I pass them on. The best part is that you can see the car next to you when you are driving. Great for blindspot driving. Highly recommended.

I bought on. I did like mine. It worked good for me, NOTE if you travel a lot , like going from state to state it will fade in out because like a radio station does the same deal.. i buy this again if i had to . but i end up buying a new car years later. May god bless you

I have Plugged it into several vehicles. I find it most helpful! If you only want the instant MPG to let you get the best mileage it,s not necessary to set up all the operating parameters. Which means you can use it on different vehicles at any time. Takes less than a minute to switch from one car to another. Always works.

I will check. But its in my wifes car. Ill let you know. It is very nice product. What vehicle are you trying to put it in? There is a lip at bottom that gives it strength. Hang in there. Ill get back to You when my wife gets home from work.

I would not recommend it. I had a guy when I was in the police academy who's can exploded in his patrol car. Needless to say, clean up was fun.

HIThis is my own experience, I do not guarantee it for you. Please use it under your own risk.I got this for my MOM overseas to use with A Fruit Dehydrator and Cuisinart Bread Maker, It works great for us. Also It is used for small things like phones and small massage stuff. Also I remember it was about 10 pounds or so, so you may consider that too if you are sending overseas. Fuses are cheap but we did not have to change it yet. Also the protection fuse has no writings on it which makes it difficult to define which one you need to use if you have to replace it. The replacement fuse was missing from the package or it was hiding somewhere but I did not find it. HIThis is my own experience, I do not guarantee it for you.

Yes this can be used in a vehicle, that is what I bought it for. It works get and you can use it more than once.

HI There, I had a huge dent on my car, I just wanted to try this tool but it didn't work. However, it seems like a decent tool which would probably fix smaller dents. I hope this helps. Thank you.

I bought it as an emergency shovel to keep in the car in case I get stuck in snow. I can use it to dig out around the wheels if necessary. I haven't had to use it yet but I believe that it will serve that purpose. I would not recommend it as a regular snow shovel for sidewalks and such. It is too small for that kind of shoveling.

I believe I used our tire pump that hooks up to the car's lighter but only because it was quicker. Have to be very careful that you don't over fill it. It comes with a pump.

emergency starts sure will be a thing of the past. I use it for my motorhome after it sits idle for long periods. and it is a V8
