There’s nothing more satisfying as a man (ok, fine, there’s a lot of things, but work with us here) than opening up the hood of a vehicle and fixing something. But technology is once again threatening to emasculate us all as the process of jump-starting a car just got much simpler thanks to the Closed-Hood Car Jump Starter.

There’s not even a need to get out of your vehicle with this device, although it does still require another, functional vehicle. All you need to do is plug one end of the Jump Starter into a 12V DC outlet on the stranded ride, and the other end into a similar outlet on a running vehicle. Wait a few minutes, and an indicator light gives you the okay to fire up your vehicle.

This could be a convenient device if you drive something too small for keeping a real set of jumper cables, or perhaps as a gift to Grandma or someone else not to be trusted with underhood adventures.

And at just $20, it’s a great way to pretend you care.  Head on over to ThinkGeek for the Product Page.
