:Offtopic: (ish!) I was wondering if anyone knew anything about these Jump Leads that plug into your cigarette lighter.
Has any one used one?
Are they any good?

Thanks in advance.

if they plug into the cig lighter they wont be jump leads but just a trickle charger. if they are plugged in there, it will only be a very small current of like 5 or 10 amps so wont have enough umph to start a car. you will just end up blowing fuses if you tried that

I haven't tried them. But I was thinking about them.

So you think they will cause problems?

Do they drain the 'donor' vehicle much?

Do you mean that they will blow fuses or that they would blow fuses if you tried to start the engine?
