Don’t get stranded again in your vintage VW!

Now you can still get back home even if the battery or starter dies. This hand starter belt is used in rope fashion, similar to a lawnmower or outboard motor.

Simply wrap the belt clockwise around the starter pulley. Turn the ignition key to “ON.” Pull to start. It is that easy! Our “Power Loop” feature supplies added traction and leverage to each crank for easy starting.

When you are done store your hand starter in your glovebox or under the seat so you will never be stranded again!
