What Customers Are Saying

The Troy Jump Starter is a cordless, rechargeable device that makes it easier to start various gas-powered lawn and garden equipment. Many users find it convenient and helpful, especially those with physical limitations. However, some customers have experienced quality and reliability issues, with the starter failing to work after a few uses. Concerns have been raised about the product's durability and longevity. While the concept is praised, the execution appears inconsistent, and an extended warranty may be advisable.

Worked well at first. Great customer service

Would Recommend

I too purchased the cordless jump start this past May. I have used it a half a dozen times or so and then it started working on and off. It seems like the starter button might be damaged or flawed. I just called Troy Bilt customer servce tech support at 1-800-800-7310. And they were awesome. Tell them it is dead and they will ask for the model and ser# which is on the unit and they will replace it for free! They will also need the model and ser# of the trimmer you are using. When it works it is ...

Poor quality

Would Not Recommend

Bought the Trimmer, and saw the Jumpstart, bought it took it home charged it, and when I wanted to use it, it would not even turn on. took it back to the store exchanged it for another one. Took it home charged it, pulled the trigger one time, and then it stopped working. Can not find my receipt this time so have been unable to take it back, to get my money back.

Free with purchase

Would Not Recommend

This came "free" with purchase of TB22EC trimmer but only got to use this 2 times before my trimmer failed. The jump starter worked great but not worth the "free" with the cheap trimmer. I got what I paid for, low quality product. I wouldn't buy this brand again.

Good product

Would Recommend

I found this product very easy to use. I have always had a lot of trouble starting gas trimmers until this product came out. Unfortunately I did not buy a very reliable trimmer to go with it.

aaaa

Would Recommend

I did not think much of the Troybuilt weedeater but I do like the battery powered starter. My new Troybuilt weedeater pull string would not engage the motor after only using it twice so I went to Lowes and bought this starter and it worked perfectly. I just hit the button and in less than two seconds the thing was running. It seems rugged enough and has plenty of torq. One of Troybuilts better ideas.

Died after one use!

Would Not Recommend

It's too soon to report a long-term experience regarding its use. The first one died after one use. Lowe's replaced it. The second one worked but I haven't used it a second time, yet.
