Wagan EL2558 Solar eCharger

Unfortunately all I had to work with is the one unit that I received so I have given it two stars. Sure it didn't work, but it was well designed and the price is great. If I receive a working unit I'll update my star rating appropriately.

Would not take a charge after 1 year of minimal use. Think I try one that has user replaceable batteries. I suspect the batteries have failed on this unit.Read Best Reviews of Wagan EL2558 Solar eCharger Here
Worked fine on a trip to Europe. I've used it more as a backup power supply fully charged from home and then packed in my bag.Want Wagan EL2558 Solar eCharger Discount?
Bought this item on June 24, but will be returning today.As another reviewer had said, the design was great: it's about the same size and weight as a Nintendo DS Lite (looks similar to it too!), the 2 USB ports were great, and it came with both an AC adaptor for charging indoors and a DC adaptor for charging in the car. The inclusion of 5 nicely-made output adaptors (the description shows 4, but I also got a 5th one that worked with my daughter's iPod Touch) for charging different devices was very thoughtful. Another thoughtful touch was the built-in white LED flashlight. It was surprisingly bright, given it was just an LED peeking from a hole in the case.
I bought this to keep on my car dashboard to charge. Out of the box, the device didn't show any indication of charging from the solar panels (the Light1 LED was supposed to light up and indicate charge levels --red for low, orange/yellow for half, and green for full charge); Light1 was unlit. So I decided to charge it to 50% charge (the LED glowed golden yellow) with the included AC adaptor for about 2 hours. Exposed to indirect sunlight (about 1 foot away from a window), the Light1 indicator glowed gold still, so I thought maybe the battery needed to be "primed" to accept charging from the solar panels.
I used the EL2558 to power my USB fan (Connectland USB Desk Fan USB Powered with On/Off Switch Black Color) while I was working on the car (the unit was left open so the solar panels can continue to charge the battery). The first thing I noticed was that the battery got really hot while it was discharging. The unit ran the USB fan for about 1.5 hours (the Wagan's plastic case withstood the heat from the hot battery okay) until the Light1 indicator turned red and my USB fan slowed down to where it wasn't cooling anymore.
From then on, I kept the unit on the dashboard of my car, hoping that the red Light1 light would turn to at least orange. Here we are almost 3 weeks later, and the poor unit I got still has Light1 = red.
Before packing it, I thought I'd charge the battery again using the AC adaptor, and that part still worked, so as a USB battery, it works great, but I bought it for its solar-charging capability, plus I can get a USB battery for half the price.
UPDATE (07/20/2010): While shopping for a replacement for this product, I came across Sc-2800 Solar/usb Nimh Battery Charger (2800 Mah) which appears to be the same product, only better. With a price tag that's 50% of this product's, and a non-skid skin to boot (great for the dashboard!), I wish I could've seen it earlier. But alas, it looks like its performance matches the EL2558's (dismal!) so I think I'll just reuse my rechargable AA batteries with the 4 Battery Solar Charger and the (Portable AA Battery Powered Emergency Charger with Flashlight Black For Anything Powered Via USB to power my USB fan.

Black & Decker AAW100 8-Inch Auto Wrench Adjusting Wrench

I does work fairly well on most nuts, but still can not compete with a quality wrench set. I am going to put it in the emergency kit in my truck. I guess if space really is an issue, it is a good buy.I bought this wrench because it looks so innovative. When I had it in my hands, I realized that my assumption was wrong. The reasons are:
1. The switch is at an awkward location. My thumb is not there when I grab the wrench.
2. The power of the motor is too weak. So there is no feeling that the jaw is tightened.
3. The shape of the handle is far from ergonomic. It usally slips out from hand.
4. Overall size is too bulky. So it is not agile enough.
One day, there must be an occasion when this wrench can be helpful (I hope), so I just keep it.

This is the best new tool to come along in twenty years. What a great idea and excellent implementation of it. This is the coolest crescent wrench I have ever seen. It makes it so easy to work on projects where you have different size nuts to tighten and especially when working where space is limited. The electric adjustment on the wrench is amazingly quick. I mean you hit the switch and it's snug up against the nut ready for you to start turning. This wrench is not fragile either. It can apply as much torque as a regular crescent wrench. It is amazing that it is not that much bigger than a regular wrench. It will fit in all thoses tight nooks and crannies where sometimes you need to get a wrench into. Amazon doesn't have any in stock yet so I found mine at Lowes Hardware. The Thornton Colorado store sold their whole display in one day. I drove up to the Longmont Lowes to get one and it was well worth it. GREAT TOOL!Read Best Reviews of Black & Decker AAW100 8-Inch Auto Wrench Adjusting Wrench Here
This is the second "Auto" tool that I got from B&D that just sucks. It just doesn't tighten enough to be of any use. I can understand the safety issues of why it won't close too tight in case it is used on something like a finger, but in order to tighten a nut and bolt, you need something to tighten on that, and this just doesn't.Want Black & Decker AAW100 8-Inch Auto Wrench Adjusting Wrench Discount?
This wrench has internal parts of poor quality. The mechanicsm is driven off a small rubber belt. Mine worked approximately 3 weeks. Then, when the button to move the jaw was used, the motor would run but no jaw movement. I removed the screws from the plastic casing to find the belt had broke in two pieces. It appeared to be dry-rotted. It is a cheep internal part that, when breaks, renders the entire tool no more valuable than the $5 crescent wrench from Walmart. Don't waste your money.Friday, June 27, 2014

Buy RoadPro RPSL-681 12V Direct Hook-Up Ceramic Heater/Fan with Swivel Base Now
I liked the size and the features, but the fan is very lacking and without a switch in the circuit the fan's power stays on unless you remove the fuses. All in all it kept me from freezing too much but could have been made a lot better.Read Best Reviews of RoadPro RPSL-681 12V Direct Hook-Up Ceramic Heater/Fan with Swivel Base Here
I have this unit installed in my Subaru wagon. Forget about getting any heat. Turned to the windshield, it keeps a small portion of the windshield clear of condensation. Thats all it's good for. Hardly any heat, hardly any moving air from the fan.An impressive looking gadget; but not really a heater. Not worth 50 cents.
Want RoadPro RPSL-681 12V Direct Hook-Up Ceramic Heater/Fan with Swivel Base Discount?
I bought this heater because, at the time, it was the best rated car heater on Amazon. The fan barely blew any heat out. I had to keep my hands directly over the heater to feel any heat at all.After owning this heater for about two months, it caught fire in my Jeep I had to get rid of it. I would not recommend anybody purchase this heater.

My son needed this for his system (i really don't know what its for ) but when I ordered it he said it was the perfect part. So i guess I did good.The ground block is compact and also give you two connections. With this device I was able to upgrade my one point contact to two point contact and also upgraded the wire connection to two wires with the option of using 1/0 or 4 awg wire with the supplied ring adaptors, I had the chance to compare the finish of this block with power rings connectors, and the finish on this one could be better. Depending where you are installing it this might matter or not.Monday, May 12, 2014
Satechi iPod Touch G1,G2,G3,G4, iPod Classic, iPod Nano G3, G4, G5 FM transmitter with LCD Display

- Made for iPod - Broadcasts your favorite tunes wirelessly from your iPod to your FM car/home stereo.
- Charge your iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPod classic - includes car charger adaptor
- Easy to use - plug it in to your iPod and tune it (88.1MHz - 107.9MHz)
- Cord-free - listen to your iPod without getting tangled in earphone wires. No batteries.
- Compatible with iPod Touch I/II/III/ IV gen, iPod Classic, iPod Nano G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6
Yeah its form isn't the best, and it doesn't blend beautifully with my iPhone but it does what it is supposed to do. It lets me listen to Pandora, or my music in my car.
BTW, I have no affiliation with this company, it took me a lot of trips to and from Target, Best Buy, and the Apple store returning bad products to find this device. Just trying to save people the frustration.Bought this item because of it low price. I have purchased similar items at a much higher price with disappointing results. This transmitter works better than others 2-3x the price. Iv been using it with an iPhone and really like the low profile design, no wires or pieces hanging off it. It does pop up the little "not iPhone compatible" message but causes no interference, even when iPhone is kept out of airplane mode. The signal is strong enough to overpower weak FM signals and works well in metro areas with high FM traffic as well as the mountains and rural areas. A really great value!!This is a great product that interfaces beautifully with my iPhone and car steroe. I use it primarily to play podcasts through my car stereo. I also use it at the gym to watch video podcasts while wearing standard FM radio headphones, and no longer have to worry about yanking on my earbud cord and knocking my iPhone to the floor. The sound is remarkably clean and clear, but sometimes I will get some static, necessitating that I change the frequency (easily done with the up and down arrows)to find a frequency that has no weak station broadcasting on it; this usually clears up the sound. The transmitter draws power from the iPhone and comes with a cigarette lighter adapter for long trips. In summary, a great product, sleek, well-designed, and at an affordable price.I bought this unit, and it does EXACTLY what it should. I have a 2001 Toyota that has no "line-in" on the stereo. So with my new iPhone 3G, my options were limited. I plugged this thing in and set the station and it worked immediately. There is a small amount of static between songs, but i've found that ALL of these transmitters do that. When the music is playing the sound quality is very good (better than radio, not as good as CD's) keeping in mind that iTunes sound is far from CD quality. Further, it responds to your changes with the EQ settings, both on the iPhone and on the stereo itself.
I would, however recommend that you "level" your music on your iTunes (if you haven't already) so that all songs will play at the same volume. If you don't there can be some volume "surprises".
For the price, this unit is Fantastic. There are some that will find fault with it i'm sure. But those people aren't usually happy with anything in their lives anyway.

Rearview Mirror DVR with Dual Swivel car Camera video recorder with 3.5'' LCD screen DVR35C2

- How do you prove to the traffic police what really happened, in case a road accident occurs? No lawyer can help you more effectively than an in-car DVR does. And no DVR is more useful than this one.
- Combining a Rearview Mirror with a powerful DVR, this product allows you to get a glimpse of what's behind you, and records the road situations both inside and outside the car, at the same time. The two cameras are both 180 degree rotatable so you can record at the best angle you want. You can also switch between single or dual camera display/record. Better yet, the two cameras even come with nightvision for you to record videos at night!
- Installing this Rearview Mirror DVR couldn't be simpler, as it is designed to easily clip onto your pre-installed rear view mirror. It will start recording from the moment the device is turned on. You can record in two Different Modes, normal continuous recording, or cycled recording for saving data space. With this great little gadget, now everyone from general drivers, police officers, journalists, detectives, lawyers, taxi drivers can have the evidence they need that will hold up in court.
Well it turns out that what you actually get is something can only record up to a maximum of 5 minutes at which point it starts recording again over writing the previous recording.
Now you have an additional source of stress at an incident did my camera capture the incident and is it just about to to delete the recording?
Whilst most incidents are over in just seconds it is entirely unreasonable to market a product that has such a short recording time with no option to save old recordings in the unit itself. If it was making 5 minutes recordings until the card was full that would be OK but as it stands although you can use a 32GB card you can only ever make about about 0.5GB worth of recordings. In the heat of the moment would any of us be sufficiently alert enough to immediately check the camera and press stop before it hits the 5 minute mark or would we be focusing on the more important aspects of any incident?
Customer support were polite but failed to come back with any reply to these concerns even though I asked on 2 separate occasions and they promised to look into it.
I was going to get one of these for my partner but will now be looking elsewhere.

I bought this device several months ago, and I am very happy with it. The battery life is amazing. When I received it, I charged it, turned it on, hooked it up and left it on. In the months I've had it, I've only charged it twice.I bought this product because my ears are sensitive to the ear type blue-tooth. The Supertooth Buddy is exactly what I needed. The sound is clear, and making and receiving calls is very easy. I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs a hands-free device or is sensitive to the in ear type of blue tooth.

Bulldog Remote Vehicle Alarm System

I find these alarms easy to install...but I hardwire them to the battery...and do not use the clip. There is not usually a lot of room under the hood of most vehicles...and the small size of this alarm is a big advantage. 2 wires to connect...one to the battery...one to ground...stretch out the antenna.
I try to mount them pointing down in an area free of high heat or water spray.
I've found that the range stated for the transmitter is probably more like 100'. The remotes are very rugged..if it gets wet...just dry it out...and the battery lasts a long time...have had no issues with the buttons. At times this alarm can be affected by large temperature changes(or by sheet metal triggering the shock sensor?)...and might be occasionally affected by other remotes or devices made to disrupt alarms.
The sensitivity can be set to where you want it...otherwise even rain can set one off. The current sensor works pretty well...but you need to be sure your dome light works.
It will inform you as to whether it was set off by shock or current.
You can set up 2 different alarms in 2 vehicles to respond to the same remote.
The newest version has a different siren sound...and it seems to be louder. Also it will reset itself if triggered. As far as transmitter range and other behavior...can't say yet.
IMO....for the DIYer...this is a relatively easy alarm to install and use.After someone cost me over $500. in tire repairs by repeatedly puncturing my tires I had enough...
I bought this Bull Dog alarm and left it in it's most sensitive settings and problem solved. It would've gave it 5 stars if only the alarm was louder.

It's the simplest Alarm I have ever seen. Install Red Clip to Positive of Battery and Black wire to one of the Screws provided to mount Base of Alarm to Vehicle and that's it. The Alarm is louder than I thought it would be, no problem hearing it from a great distance. Great Alarm for the Money!!!!Read Best Reviews of Bulldog Remote Vehicle Alarm System Here
Great little product from an American Company. Easy to install, and took a few days of trial and error to get the sensitivity set right, but got it to respond exactly the way I wanted it to. I don't have an expensive car 13 year old Honda CRV in pretty good shape but when some nuts decided to cut out my catalytic converter it came time to upgrade from The Club to a little bit more security. This Bulldog alarm did the trick.U P D A T E: One year later and it still works great.
U P D A T E 2: After two years it still operates at the motion settings I originally set, {only the big street-sweeper or largest trash-truck set it off, telling me it's working and on the job}. No problem with anyone trying to break in since I installed it. Gettin' my money's worth here.I brought this product for an employee she love it and tells me its one of the best things anyone could have given her so I say Thanks Again for this product I have use them before myself and I loved it Thanks

Audiovox GMRS7015RC 15-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio with Built-in Race Car Reciever/Scann

- 15-mile range for keeping in touch wherever you are, and racecar channel receiver/scanner for listening to drivers' chatter at the track
- Selectable Voice Operated Transmitter for automatic voice transmission, and hands-free operation
- 15 GMRS and 7 FRS channels, with 38 privacy codes, provides 836 combinations to help eliminate interference
- Includes dual desktop charger for simultaneously charging, and swiveling belt clips for easy carrying
- Powered by rechargeable NiMH batteries with long-standby times and no-memory effect, and requires FCC license
On the bright side, the desk charger is nice. Having rechargeable batteries ensures that you will have ample power. I haven't ever had an issue with them running out of power. It is also a plus that they come as a set so you don't have to use a splitter and share with someone else.
If given the opportunity to purchase these again, I would probably spend a bit more money and get a higher quality product.I attend a few NASCAR races a year and scanner rentals can get expensive. I purchased these and they did the job. I did buy separate earbuds and noise canceling headphones for better sound quality.i went to martinsville the shortest track and could not get a signal clearly an the talkies have less then a 3 mile range not 15 spend the extra for a real scanner

Chicago Electric Power Systems 400 Watt Continuous/800 Watt Peak Power Inverter

- High surge capacity for products that require power up to 800 watts to start
- Continuous power up to 400 watts
- 5 volt, 500 milliamp USB port
- LED indicator light
- Protection from low/high voltage, low/high temperatures, low/high currents
But my previous inverter made such dirty power that my Mackie self-amplified speaker made a terrible buzzing noise all the time when run off of the inverter. I ran this one for over two hours no buzz at most-of-full 400 watt volume, and still had juice in my truck battery to start it and get home.
Hooray!

Belkin 140w DC/AC Inverter

-13" MacBook Pro
-HP printer
-Router/modem
-Cell Phone chargers
Cannot vouch for the output AC wave characteristics/shape, but the AC voltage has been a rock solid 115VAC with a 140W load on it. Originally purchased another brand, but it did not work for more than a couple of minutes before shutting off (sorry, do not remember that brand).
If you are buying an inverter locally, you may want to consider taking whatever you are intending to power with you so you can test it in the parking lot after you big it in case it does not work for you (saves a trip back and forth to the store to return it).
Buy Belkin 140w DC/AC Inverter Now
I have had two different models of the Belkin PcAnywhere inverters over the last 5 years. Both have failed and they are not reparable. One unit had an external fuse the was not blown. That unit always showed "overload" with nothing plugged in. The other unit (with no fuse (inline or otherwise)) simply gave up and would not even power on. I would recommend staying away from these units. I have a ProStat 250 that is still working great.This is a product everyone can use, with the days of the cell phone, and laptop and everything else we use, you can charge the item while driving down the roadLove this power supply! It's compact, light and very easy to use. It has been a life saver (job-saver?) for road trips that have gone a little long. The compact size and relatively long cord make it easy to place nearly anywhere in the car without taking up valuable foot space or cargo room.Thursday, September 26, 2013

OTC 3182 130-Amp Digital Battery Load Tester

I sell batteries and had problems with customers returning them for no good reason, i.e. the batteries were still working fine and there was another problem in the vehicle that kept running them dead. With this tool you could definitively check to see if the battery is actually faulty or not. I've had it only a little while but use it every single business day and it works great.This is a great tool that is well built. I was thinking of getting the analog but I am glad I bought the digital. The analog is easier with the the color coded voltage scale but if you remember to test with a fully charged battery (accurate test requires a charged up battery anyway) a strong battery will load test to 9.6 and higher. 10 volts is the scale for a good healthy battery (with full charge under load test after 10 secs. take off load should return to 12.6+ on a 12 volt battery). All the tests are easy and the tester is well made with strong clamps.
