Poor ol' Cornwell is just struggling to get things right lately. All this new-fangled compooter technology has befuddled them. Their site has never been a candidate for a Webby, but geeze, guys.

Today their home page heralds the release of a new ratchet, a 1/2" drive fine tooth in a 3/8" frame... Cool!

I need to know more, sez I - so I click on the image and get this... lol.

At least they put the prices back up. They didn't have prices for about 2 weeks the first part of this month.

SWEET!!!! How can you not love being able to jump-start your car w/ a ratchet?!

Merkava_4 · 04-20-2010, 08:12 PM

They're saying if you buy that ratchet, they STRONGLY recommend you buy that jump starter.

Holy "Bait and Switch" Batman!

Recently overheard at the top-secret closed-door Cornwell corporate sales meeting: "OK, OK, here's how we do it...we tease them with the ratchet and then we up-sell them to the jump boxes we can't give away!" Bada-Bing, Bada-Boom!

1100 peak, 325 cranking .... is that a joke?

Honest truth! We have a new IT guy at Cornwell and he has been making some changes on the site. I am sure there will be bugs until they get it worked out. His name is Don if you want to email in your suggestions. They rely on the Dealers to call in and say hey....maybe you should. I might 4ward this post on so he can see the new jumppack fine tooth
