Default OT- Jump Start Box recommendations

Might have got a lemon. I went to HF and got one with the 22
amp battery. One day my Blazer was dead, but the HF box
wouldn't start it. The box was a couple days old, and I'd
done the required over night on charge plug. So, it
"shoulda" worked.

My winchester with 17 amp battery started the Blazer right
up.

Later I got one at Napa Auto Parts for about $100 which
didn't say how many amp hour. But, it's worked fine the
several times I've used it. I sense the battery will last
longer than the HF units.

I'm looking for recommendations for a good jump start box.
I saw one at
Wal-Mart with a 22Ah battery and claims 600A, but I don't
know if it's a
good one or if there are better quality ones available for
reasonable money.

The lower powered ones are of course cheaper but I may need
to use this for
my Diesel Pickup truck. Normal use is for mowers, tractor,
backhoe, and
emergency use for automobiles... or perhaps I should buy a
half dozen
battery tenders.
