There’s only so much that you can do when your car doesn’t want to start and if you’ve tried everything to no avail or there’s no one to ask for help, then the next best step that you can take is to do some hacks to try and jump-start your car’s battery, and hopefully get it running.

There are a couple of tips and tricks that you can find online and while some of them work, most of them might not, depending on the type of car you have or the issue it’s suffering from. But, one of the most intriguing hacks that I found while browsing the internet is this one by Shake the Future on YouTube. It’s a little trick that’s very smart and handy because it uses only a flat rope and some arm strength to work. However, it’s also best to note that this hack would not work with just any car and is only recommended for petrol cars, the smaller the engine, the better.

What You’ll Need for This Hack To Work:

  • Scissor Jack
  • Rope, a flat one would work best

Step 1: The first thing that he did was lift the front wheel of the car from the ground using a jack or scissor jack.
