Pushed a Honda into a stall this morning and remembered why I keep a jump box in my bay

Used to be I'd flag down another tech to grab cables, or drag the big cart charger across the shop. This morning a customer's CR-V died right at the front door, dead battery, zero crank. I just rolled my little lithium jump box over, had it fired up in under two minutes. I bought it last spring after the third time I had to wait 20 minutes for the shop charger to free up. Does anyone else swear by having their own jump starter vs. sharing the shop one, or am I just spoiled now?

Same here, man. Bought mine after one dead morning. Never touching that shop charger again.
