I'd say it's snake oil.

You can't charge through the cigarette lighter on the Omega as it's only active when ignition is on.

You can't "jump start" through a cigaratte lighter as they can't carry nearly enough current.

I'd invest in a good old-fashioned set of jump leads instead. :y

i saw a similar one the other day by black and decker so i suppose they must work but in the past ive jump started cars with thin jump leads and had them smoking so wouldnt trust one of these.
