Hello,
I was wondering about a couple of (garage-related) gadgets I have seen
recently:
1: Has anyone ever used a Uview "Airlift" to change a car's coolant? This
is a gadget that you connect to a compressed air source, that generates a
vacuum to suck all the air out of your car's (drained) cooling system, and
lets fresh coolant get sucked in. I was thinking of getting one for my
Prius (which has TWO cooling systems).
2: I have seen these portable jump-starters that use a lithium instead of
a lead-acid battery, They are very small, only about 1x3x6 inches, and
will keep their charge for a long time while sitting in your trunk. I am
amazed that such a small device can out put enough current to actually
start a car. Are they for real?
Thanks,
Doug
