Which is better? A jump starter or jumper cables?

I am having a hard deciding if I should purchase a set of jumper cables or a jump starters for my service truck. Our company maintains a fleet of service trucks that work on and repair construction equipment. Our drivers are often out in rural areas and isolated roads. Jumper cables are attractive just because they are inexpensive, but I can see where a jump starter would be useful as well.

This is a common question and its good to be thinking about and preparing for an emergency before it happens. Based the information you gave me, I would recommend a battery jump starter for your trucks and heres why: First with a portable battery jump starter your drivers will not need another vehicle in order to jump start a dead battery. If one of your mechanics has an issue out on a rural road, all he needs to do is hook up the jump starter and he is on his way again. Also, a jump starter also provides an extra power source as well. Some models have outlets that would enable your driver to charge a dead cell phone and the KKJJNCAIR is equipped with an air compressor. For your situation, I would recommend the K & K Jumpstart 12/24 volt model. That way you can use it on 12 or 24 volt batteries found in larger diesel engines.
