Super-tools used by The Mysterious Booster.
Superhero Slogan: Do you need a boost?

Limitations: The Mysterious Booster often forgets the super-sequence for connecting her/his Cables to the dead vehicle. Although The Mysterious Booster can channel electricity through the Cables, s/he can be severely injured by an unplanned electrical transmission or a battery explosion.

Interesting Facts: - If the discharged battery is cracked, has a low electrolyte level, or is frozen, a jump start should not be attempted.
- In the United States in 1994, a research note by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association estimated that about 442 persons were injured by exploding batteries while attempting a jump-start
- In an extreme case, it is possible to crank and start a vehicle with no battery in it if the cables are heavy-duty. Cranking current drawn through light-gauge cables will damage them by overheating.
