Review: the Halo Bolt Air jumpstarts dead car batteries and fills flat tires

One of the most exciting developments in the vehicle preparation market over the last few years has been the rise of modern battery technology, which has given birth to a new category of personal, portable power solutions. These devices are designed not only for jump-starting dead batteries but also for tackling a range of other vehicle-related issues on the go. I’ve always been a fan of high-quality tools that do one thing exceptionally well. Many "survival" products out there claim to be multi-functional, but they often end up being poor at everything. That’s why I was initially skeptical when my wife gave me a Halo Bolt Air for Christmas. But after putting it through its paces, I quickly realized it’s a solid, reliable tool — especially for those with limited space in their vehicles. I thought back to a recent weekend trip to Atlanta, where we were riding in the back of a Volkswagen Jetta, and our Honda Pilot, which is already cramped with three kids in the second row. The compact design of the Halo Bolt Air makes it perfect for such situations, offering a lot of functionality without taking up much room. **Summary:** - Costs around $130 (has been on sale for $100), weighs 2.53 pounds, and fits in a storage bag measuring 12”x6”x2”. - All functions work as intended — I used it to jump-start a truck and inflate a tire. - The air compressor inflates tires quickly, but it drains the battery by about 3% per 5 PSI. Also, the built-in pressure gauge is usually off by around 5 PSI. - The 8-inch jumper cables are shorter than I’d prefer, but this is common in this product category. - It has two USB-A ports (5V/2.4A) for charging phones, but it’s not a substitute for a dedicated power bank. - The built-in light is useful as an emergency beacon but not a replacement for a proper flashlight. **Jump Starting with the Halo Bolt Air** Battery-powered jump starters are one of the best roadside innovations since Fix-A-Flat. Before these devices, if your car battery died, you had to find someone else to give you a jump start. Now, with a jump starter like the Halo Bolt Air, you can do it alone, safely, and with minimal effort. I recently tested the Halo Bolt Air when the temperature dropped to single digits, and my Dodge Ram 1500 wouldn’t start. I decided to use the Halo Bolt Air instead of my usual jump starter. The unit comes with a drawstring bag containing all the necessary accessories, including jumper cables. Though the cables are short (about 8 inches), they’re functional and easy to use. After some fiddling to position the unit correctly, I pressed the jump start button, and the engine turned right over. Checking the display, the battery was still at 100%, so I wasn’t worried about draining it too much. **Inflating Tires with the Halo Bolt Air** The air compressor is a nice addition, but it has its limitations. While it can inflate small items like balls or rafts, it’s not ideal for full-sized tires. The hose is only 9 inches long, and even with the included 22.5-inch extender, the clamp-on chuck is a bit tricky to use. The pressure gauge is also slightly inaccurate, reading about 5 PSI lower than my trusted tire gauge. So, it’s still a good idea to have a separate gauge in your kit. I tried setting the pressure to 35 PSI, but it only reached 30. After adjusting to 40, it finally hit the correct level. It worked, but it’s not as precise as I’d hoped. Inflation takes a toll on the battery, consuming about 3% per 5 PSI. If you need to inflate multiple tires, you’ll want to charge it afterward. Using the car charger, it only gains about 2% every 10 minutes, so it’s not the fastest option. **Charging Devices and Using the Floodlight** The Halo Bolt Air isn’t meant to be a primary phone charger, but it does offer two USB-A ports that can slowly charge your phone in an emergency. It also includes an AC wall charger and a cigarette lighter adapter, making it versatile. The floodlight is a helpful feature, though it’s not a replacement for a dedicated flashlight. It has three settings: white, red, and flashing red. The flashing mode is particularly useful as a warning light during emergencies. Overall, the Halo Bolt Air is a handy, compact device that doesn’t excel in any one area but offers a convenient solution for people who need a multifunctional tool without the bulk. It may not replace my main jump starter or air compressor, but it’s definitely a valuable addition to my roadside gear.

Gas Grill

A gas grill is a type of outdoor grill that uses propane or natural gas as a fuel source to cook food. It typically has a metal cooking grate, burners, and a hood or lid to trap heat and smoke. Gas grills are popular because they are easy to use and offer precise temperature control, making them ideal for grilling a variety of foods, from burgers and hot dogs to vegetables and seafood. They can also be used year-round, as they do not require charcoal or wood for fuel. Some gas grills also have additional features such as side burners, rotisserie attachments, and built-in thermometers.
