I've heard of these. Did you try it? (I suppose you'd need a dead battery first...) I guess it makes sense, since the cig lighter is just battery power going to a heater, so the circuit is there, with the right adapter. I wonder how much cranking power the B&D tool has...

I've never heard of this, but I think its pretty cool that a dead battery could do that. People inventing new things, its like wow what will they think of next? Great video by the way Mag, I can tell that you had fun. Like Bob I want to know, if you have tried it yet?

Mag

Hi guys,
I've ordered one of these to try it out. Will get back to you on how it performs on my old ride.
