Cybertech 45W MagSafe 2 Car Charger Adapter (14.85V 3.08A) For Apple Macbook Air A1436 MD592LL/A A1

Cybertech 45W MagSafe 2 Car Charger Adapter For Apple Macbook Air A1436 MD592LL/A A1466 11'13', With USB Charger PortDoes what it says and does it well. I have the newest Macbook Air i5 and it fits perfectly. The 12v plug end has a soft blue light to let you know its on. This might annoy some people when it is pitch black but I like it because it lets you know its on and in a car bouncing around things come loose now and then. The other end that plugs into the computer also has a soft light that changes color to let you know its charging and turns green when its done. This light is very soft and shouldnt annoy anyone. I also love the extra USB port. I use that for my iphone. Great product for the price.

Boss Audio ATV20 Off-Road/Marine Sound System

Boss Audio ATV20 Off-Road/Marine Sound System
  • Fully Marinized, 450W Max Power
  • Frequency response: 45-25kHz
  • Water Proof Poly Injection Cone, Soft Dome Diaphragm high performance Tweeter
  • This item is non returnable

Mounted this unit to the front of my 09 Honda 500 Rubicon ATV. This thing looks really nice, much better than many of the custom tube systems Ive seen, The sound quality is really good for a system in this price range (actually better than I expected) but it does distort at the high end. My mp3 volume range is 0-30 and it stays loud and clear up to 26-27. I have found that 18-19 is loud enough when parked, but have to bump it up while riding. I paid $130 bucks for mine and am well pleased. It is also packaged well, and the warranty card states if anything happens in 1 year they pay shipping to warranty repair center and I send mo for 15 bucks for return, I thought this was very reasonable. Overall well pleased. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice budget friendly mobile audio system.

I recommend this to anyone who rides.

Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire Gauge

Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire GaugePlease ignore the other two users that gave this gauge only one star because it only read 28.5 psi. I find it amusing, but sad, that they didn't realize that there was a protective sticker on the screen that read 28.5. If you peel off that protective sticker, then you get a nice, bright red backlit number displaying your true tire pressure. This gauge works great! The display is amazingly easy to read, and it is also simple to get a good reading.

Prior to owning this Accutire model, I had a 7 year old Accutire digital gauge that finally broke. WIth that old model, it was much harder to get a reading without air leaking out. With this new model, if you just push the gauge straight into the valve stem, you easily get a solid reading without leaking air. The old model's display wasn't backlit either, and I was truly impressed with the large, bright numbers on this new model. I'd highly recommend getting this gauge, as it has all the functionality you need, at a very reasonable price. I like having accuracy to 0.5 psi, and I never use non-digital gauges unless I have no other choice. I also tested this gauge with back-to-back measurements, and it was accurate every time. You won't regret this purchase...

This is by far the best tire gauge I've ever had. It lights brightly, easy to see even in sun and always visible at night. Accuracy is high, construction quality is excellent. Highly recommended!

Buy Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire Gauge Now

While this product works fine, and is accurate, it uses (3) A76 watch batteries. That's a lot of batteries. and the batteries generally only last about 6 months. I have to pay $2 ea for the batteries. Total $6 each time. That's $12 a year. and the unit only cost $8.

Maybe a unit that uses lithium or other long-lasting batteries would be better.

Next time, i think i will try one of the better, more-expensive units.

I found the tire gauge readings to be accurate, and initially this meter was easy to use and quick to take a measurement.

However, within 5 months, the plastic part of the gauge that you put onto your tire had deformed to the point that it would no longer take a reading from a tire. I do not work at a mechanical shop, and I have one car and I had taken a reading about once a week for 4-5 months.

I would not recommend this product.

Want Accutire MS-4021B Digital Tire Gauge Discount?

I've owned two versions of this gauge: An LCD version that I bought 7 or 8 years ago, and the more recent LED type. Aside from the display technology, they looked identical.

They were both accurate and reliable, but they both also had very poor sealing against the tire valve. The rubber ring that seals against the valve is too hard and uneven. You have to line the gauge up very precisely, and press very hard to avoid a burst of air escaping from the tire. If you don't get a good seal, the reading can be off, and a couple of bursts of air is enough to drop a tire by 1 psi. Every time I checked my tires, this happened on at least one or two of them. It's bad enough that I got into the habit of overfilling the tires by a couple of psi so that when this happened I would not end up below the desired pressure.

I finally got tired of it and bought a $26.00 gauge at Sears that seems to be just as accurate and does not have this problem.

Coby CA-737 Wireless FM Transmitter - 4 x FM Presets

Coby CA-737 Wireless FM Transmitter - 4 x FM Presets
  • COBY Wireless FM Transmitter - MP3/CD/MD Playback CA-737

Model 738 which was not available enables one to select a silent frequency from the entire FM spectrum while model 737 offers only four frequencies between 88.1 and 88.7

Buy Coby CA-737 Wireless FM Transmitter - 4 x FM Presets Now

I can't really use this product as there are radio stations that broadcast using the same frequencies as this product. I can't dial out the radio station and dial in my mp3 player. Wish the unit offered a wider frequency range.

I had been using a Belkin plug-in transmitter in my car but got tired of the static. I've been using this Coby unit at home for listening to audiobooks on my MP3 player with great results. In the house, I found that it transmits strongly about 15 feet, drops off quickly after that. The position of the short plug wire relative to the radio makes a difference, so I guess that's the antenna.

I decided to try it in my Camry, which has an antenna in the rear windshield. I really get a sense of the power of this thing in the car. When I turn it on, static turns to silence. Because my main need is to listen to audiobooks, frequency cutoffs are not important, and I can't report on them.

I like that I can go down to 87.7 FM, below the 88.0 limit of most FM stations. Great in a crowded urban environment. Three pre-tunes seems enough most of the time. I do live in the suburbs of Rochester, NY, so your own experience may vary.

The problem is battery life. This unit burns through a pair of AAAs in about six to eight hours, not a big problem if you remember to turn the unit off, of if you use rechargeable batteries. I would like to see an auto-shutoff feature.

If I could, I'd take maybe half a star away for the battery issue. But at this price, I can't imagine a better deal.

I owned the previous version of this. Almost identical in the picture.

The earlier version had digital tuning across the whole FM band.

The current version has only four channels switch selected.

The old one had a 30 hour battery life. This has a 6 hour battery life.

I searched out the Coby because of my good experience. This is not as good as the $12 from Wal-Mart

Don't bother with this product unless you like the sound of static. It was like listening to a scratchy record. I had to turn the volume on my car radio and my MP3 player up as loud as they would go, and only then could I hear the music. But the quality was not good at all.

TomTom Go 720 Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery.

TomTom Go 720 Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery.The directions for this kit are on a DVD. The DVD makes the installation process seem much easier than the actual installation itself. A piece of double sided tape was included in the replacement kit to hold the new battery in place. I used the tape to re-secure the new battery after removing the old one. What was not mentioned in the instructions was the double sided tape was too thick to allow the TomTom to be closed and the halves screwed back together. The TomTom had to be disassembled again and the tape removed before it could reassembled properly. A little more detail explanation would have helped otherwise, it would have gotten 5 stars. As it is the battery works well and my TomTom functions flawlessly.

Certainly was less expensive that replacing my Tom Tom ( which I considered). You tube instructions were complete and easy to follow. No fancy packaging here, but the battery appears to be fresh and holding the charge. Highly recommended

Install of this package was a breeze. Considered purchasing new gps, glad I didn't, this is a great gps once again. Thanks!

Want TomTom Go 720 Battery Replacement Kit with Installation Video, Tools, and Extended Life Battery. Discount?

Just finished installing the new battery. Had a problem getting the GPS open. The plastic tool quickly bends our of shape because the material is too weak at the tip. Had to use a small screwdriver to pry things open and managed to scratch the screen. Don't notice it when it is turned on. The old battery in the TomTom GPS is held by very strong double sided tape. Hard to get out. Had to use again a micro screw driver to pry it open. I found a micro screw holder very handy as my fingers are big and fat. Also used tweezers and forceps to help me with the tiny parts.

Although not perfect, this product is better than having a dead device and since mine still works after changing the battery, scratching the screen, and being a little rough with the motherboard, I am happy.

If I can find a used Tom Tom just like it super cheap, I may try it again but just try to locate the battery somewhere as I don't need another full kit.

I ordered this along with my Garmin nuvi 765t and it never worked.

Thankfully, Amazon did it's usual superb job of replacing it with just a few mouse clicks.

When the replacement arrived it was of a much simpler design and worked just fine.

Detail:

The original version I got had a slot in the back of the plug-in unit into which various plugs could be inserted to adapt it for the appropriate country/voltage/etc. My guess is that the connection between the adapter and the unit were not good and so it just didn't work.

The replacement unit which I received was made with the North American prongs already built in and no adapter was necessary for use here. The unit was packaged with adapters for UK and European use if needed. The just plug onto the NA prongs.

If you order this, see if you can determine which type will be sent to you or if you get the older-style version try to exchange it.

Only by checking the Garmin website for the nuvi 750, and in particular the item number 10-10723-00, was I sure that the AC charger I received was in fact for the nuvi 750. It was a little confusing.

This one by far doesn't work very good. The channels don't come in at all. Was able to get it to tune in a little bit by putting it on a different channel, but then still tons of static. Very disappointed

I was unsure at first but this is a well built holder for the price. You can mount it it on the windshield,air vent,dashboard if you choose. I will buy another one just like this.

Jump-N-Carry JNC1224 3400/1700 Peak Amp 12/24V Jump Starter

Jump-N-Carry JNC1224 3400/1700 Peak Amp 12/24V Jump StarterIt's a portable nuclear power plant in a box! I love it. With its built in charger ... I have confidence that it's ready to go. In addition to its obvious application I use it for camping, ham radio and launching model rockets. I just wish mine came with protective caps to cover the alligator clips it scares me to have even a little bit of copper showing on such a powerful device. I put a small strip of electrical tape over each of the clips that gives me piece of mind.

Recommend this highly. This has the highest boosting power of any hand-held, consumer charger.

Easy to use, simple AND Made In USA!

I bought the 12/24 jump and carry in 2005. I am a heavy equipment mechanic so the 24v has come in handy so many times to numerous to list. I have powered large inverters to power grinders and drills of of this thing. Pretty much everything you buy now if you don't treat it with velvet gloves its junk in a week. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT ONE OF THEM! I have not taken care of this thing at all and every year I expect the worst; It'll finally give up the ghost. Its been 7 years now and this year after sitting flat all winter inside the toolbox of my seldom used pickup I plugged it in last week and today I used it to start my diesel trencher and it worked as good as the day I bought it. The only negtive I can thing of is the way the handle that you pull out to switch voltage is orientated to the body. If the jumpstart gets banged around a lot the handle will break off. The unit still functions fine it just mainly cosmetic. Other than that....ya....5 stars!!!

We gave it the test. Someone had left the key on the on position on a De icier truck. These trucks are use for deicing planes. They have to be up and ready in the before snow rolls in. We can't be tieing up another truck for a dead truck.

We usually have to hook another truck to it and let it charge up for an hour. Or drag out the charger and electric cord which is very heavy. 150 ft cord.

Brought out the Jump and Carry, switch the plug to 24 volts. It kick over with no problem.

Did do some read up on it before buying. It does have a built in protection not to over charge the unit.

Con: manual say it has leds on it for charging. None on there so we don't know when its done charging.

Allstar Performance ALL80156 Battery Disconnect Switch

Allstar Performance ALL80156 Battery Disconnect SwitchOrdered this switch, to replace the jammed OE, master chassis battery cut off switch (sometimes called the salesman switch) at the rear of our '97 American Tradition motor home. Old switch failed/jammed permanently in the off position one day, I broke the handle off using pliers to try and get it to turn on. I made sure this has the correct amperage, load ratings, shaft size for both the mount and the battery cabling etc. I suspect it will work without issue across many other similarly set-up American Coach or Fleetwood motor homes that have the same switch in the rear engine bay. The switch action itself is silky smooth, and gives a good responsive 'click' when moving between On -> Off and vice versa.

This works perfectly well. There is an assured "click" in both directions. The bezel showing "on" and "off" is just a sticker and I would have prefered something more substantial (made of metal), so I didn't even put it on. I just remember "pointing right is on" & "pointing left is off". The device was a little bigger than I expected it to be. It is probably about 3" in diameter. I am using it on a 12 volt lawn tractor.

Perko 8501DP Marine Battery Selector Switch

Perko 8501DP Marine Battery Selector SwitchSo I found out, after I purchased, that these switches are not waterproof. Not a huge problem, except, if you read up on users experiences with them, you'll find out that over the years the spray gets into them. The spray will corode the switch terminals and leave you stranded. I ended up ordering a Blue Sea Systems 9001e. It's not only water proof, but you don't have to put the batteries in parallel on your way to putting the second battery on. If your main battery has a shorted cell, on your way from "1" to "2", you'll cross "ALL". "All" will effectivly put the shorted cell in your main battery across the terminals of your second battery. High current and heat WILL follow. The 9001e doesn't work this way and it's waterproof. Your call.

This is a bullet proof battery management control unit. Installation is easy and flexible. Also, it is not limited to marine environment use. The unit we installed is on a race car transport trailer that utilizes two marine grade 1000 amp batteries to power the 12 volt lighting and trailer jack systems while the on board generator power or AC adaptors are not in use. The switching options guarantee minum power supply to run all our on demand 12 volt requirements while insuring power by utilizing full shut off position between race events.
