Buy Allstar Performance ALL18205 Rivet Gun for Cordless Drill Now
What a great tool. Saved time and loads of stress. One caution, keep on low speed if your cordless has 2 settings. High speed seems to break the internal parts. So not industrial grade but simply awesome if you treat it like a plow horse instead of a race horse. And who could complain about a plow horse if the other option is to pull the plow yourself? ;-)Read Best Reviews of Allstar Performance ALL18205 Rivet Gun for Cordless Drill Here

Not so great at night this is where the 5th star went.
Expect broken English, as this is a Korean product.
Quick start guide only Korean English manual is on the SD card.
Software tends to crash/lock up fairly often
I believe there is no manufacturer warranty for the US.
No button to permanently keep a recording
Built-in mic records quiet and muffled.

* Brightness: Standard & Bright. Literally just makes the recording brighter doesn't seem to improve quality at all.
* Shock sensitivity when driving: Off; insensitive; normal; sensitive. Normal picks up every single bump. I keep at insensitive.
* Parking Mode: Off (stops recording); Record for Shock only; Record for Shock or motion.

* Play Speed: 0.4x; 0.6x; 0.8x; 1x; 2x
* Volume
Parking mode details:
Parking mode is supposed to be a low-power mode that is activated after the camera is stationary for 5 minutes. Of course, this will only matter if you keep the camera plugged in and if your car provides power when off. The camera stays on the entire time, it just doesn't write the video to the card unless it detects shock or motion, which I assume uses less power. Yes, this could drain your battery anyways, but the camera uses such little power this is not likely unless you rarely/never drive the car.
Note on motion: The manual doesn't clarify this at all, so I had to test for myself. The camera actually does "see" motion not just "feel" it. In other words, if motion is turned on for parking mode it will record someone walking in front of your car/camera, not just pushing on the car.
Other notes:
* You need a windows computer to install the software, change settings, or view GPS data. However, raw video is stored as standard AVI files, so you will still be able to view video with any computer.
* This camera has no night vision whatsoever. There needs to be some source of relatively bright light to see anything clearly.
* I forgot to measure the length of the 12v adapter cord before installing, but I was able to route the cord all the way around my windshield, out and around the dashboard, and to the middle outlet with about a foot to spare. It may have been 10-12ft long.
* The camera saves a video file to the card every 1-2 minutes OR when power is disconnected.
* Camera takes about 30 seconds after power is applied to begin recording, and averages about 1-2 minutes to obtain a GPS signal.
* To reiterate, if speed overlay is enabled, you will only see KPH in the video. MPH is only viewable in the software.
*Update: There is an English version software update available that works for me on Windows 8 x64, so I assume it should work on Windows 7 as well. It is located on the original manufacturer's "mall" site, which is totally in Korean.

Buy ITRONICS ITB-100HD 1080p True HD Car DVR "Black Box" Recorder with GPS Now
This is a great camera, for what it is.With accelerometers (to sense crashes, jolts or sudden acceleration/braking) and embedded GPS metadata, this is much more than just a souped-up GoPro camera.
The camera records audio and video continuously on the included full-size 8Gb SDHC card, but I would recommend buying a 32Gb card or two. It's a good idea to have a spare on hand in case you need to remove the card to view or preserve its contents.
Most cameras in this price range dont even record audio, the ITB100HD does.
Camera settings are done within the (Windows only) player application, which are then transferred via the SDHC card to the camera. The camera itself has one control: A single push button that toggles the internal microphone on and off, and to format the memory card. Worked fine with 64-bit Windows 7.
Settings include choices of frame-rate and resolution, whether or not the camera records continuously (or simply responds to motion or jolts), whether the camera overwrites older files, and in what order event-associated files are over-written.
You can also choose how sensitive the shock sensing and motion detection is -to a point. I have found there are too few steps of resolution to choose from, and the camera is often sensitive even at its most insensitive settings. There are also presets for brightness, time zone, and the ability to export still frames or whole clips to your computer's hard drive.
When the camera experiences shock or jolt, it tags a clip as an 'event'. Likewise, if it records motion while in 'Parking mode' (when it senses you haven't moved for five minutes), it tags those just as distinctly. This is useful when sorting thru files to distinguish travel time from time parked.
The on-screen speed overlay is in Kilometers/hour, requiring a 3rd-party firmware hack to correct it to mph.
Time-stamp information comes from GPS, so that is not only a convenience but essential if you need to use this video in court.
There is a 'Video Out' connector you can use to assist aiming during installation, and later to provide sound and picture if you want to live-stream your dashcam to UStream, Skype, etc. This is an essential option if you need to preserve your video remotely, to protect evidence from theft or confiscation.
The videos are divided into one or two-minute timestamped clips (depending on the frame-rate you choose) and are standard H.264 video playable on any modern computer.
In the event of a crash or power loss, the camera has enough internal reserve power to do a proper shut-down, preserving the video.
At the highest quality setting, the frame-rate is 24fps (rather than 30fps) but is more than adequate. Even the 15fps option performs well, and may actually be a better choice for night driving and economizing memory.
The 'Parking' setting appears to be more for saving recording space than battery power, so if you have a weak car battery you may not want to leave this operating for days without charging your battery.
The pinhole opening for the microphone can be enlarged to improve audio, which comes from the factory somewhat muffled.
The mounting kit is for adhering the camera to the windshield glass. In my vehicle, however, I get better performance mounting the camera to the rear-view mirror, so you may wish to obtain a hefty piece of Velcro. Mirror-mounting also better conceals the camera from theft, and newer vehicles have continuous power available at the mirror so you dont have visible wires and clutter.
Each time you insert the SDHC card, you need to push the 'format' button to get the camera to recognize it. If you forget, the camera will sound an 'SD card error' (4 beeps that repeat) after the camera has been operating for several minutes.
There is an essentially useless LED that faces the front, and flashes when in the 'Parking mode'. I call it the "steal me" light, and you can cover it with black tape.
The oddest thing about this camera is how it is marketed.
iTronics has apparently had issues with some sellers, and honoring the warranty seems to depend on where you bought it.
The manual is broken English, so it would be worthwhile to consult some online forums dedicated to this camera.
The English portion of iTronics website is completely unintelligible, so firmware and software updates are often found on independent forums like dashcamtalk.com or radardetectorforum.org.
Even with the English-language software version, iTronics seems to assume most users will be in Korea. That's unfortunate, because they are underestimating the value of their own product, and missing bigger markets.
You can find the English manual on-line, search for ITB100HD_English Manual.pdf
You can also download and install the player application, by searching for ITB-100HDE PC Player.zip
There are other versions of this camera from iTronics, some have substituted the GPS module for Wi-Fi (so you dont have to fetch the SDHC card) and even one with a voice module (sadly, only in Korean). The ITB-100HD has the better CMOS imager and performs better at night, so beware if you are considering other models.
If you are a good driver, and are ever in the position where you need to prove it, this under-$200 "black box" is a good investment.
If you would like a rock-steady record of a road trip matched with a GPS map, you are also in luck.
One last thought: Using this camera at night will definitely illustrate the value of keeping your windshield clean.

The only concern I had when buying this product was that I saw that it was km/h only and would only show MPH in the viewing software.I found a guy on a forum who was selling a converstion for $8.00 and thought that was crazy. Then I did a bit more searching and found a blog post that not only described in detail how to convert the code to work with MPH, but also shared a patched binary for FREE!
has details on how to update the firmware of the camera to use MPH instead of km/h. It took me less than five minutes to convert mine and now I couldn't be happier.
Want ITRONICS ITB-100HD 1080p True HD Car DVR "Black Box" Recorder with GPS Discount?
1080hd for good quality video,GPS to tell you where and how fast you were going,
shock sensor to tell when you crashed,
Accelerate or Decelerate awareness,
creates separate folders,
So whats missing?
an installation for MAC, are you serious? how did such amazing technology mess this up? i cant even look at the settings, since there is only one button on the device and everything else is handled through the computer when the SD card is inserted, fail...I did not buy this product from this vendor on amazon, but am giving a review on the itronics ITB-100HD.
over all its a good product that work well and is very easy to use.
PROS: no over heating problems unlike the blackvue
the recording quality is good during the day but is just ok at night
you are only able to read lic plate if the car is not in motion and is within 5 ft in front of you.
CONS: clarity at night is not the greatest. I dont believe this is a true 1080P HD quality more like 720p (yes i have the settings on 1080P)
the IPASS Black program does not always work
if you have a MAC, windows 7 or 8, forget about using the program as it wont even start up with the SD card in the computer. you are still able to play the video on quicktime or windows media player or
VLC
the mic is not the greatest but works decent.
overall its a good product.... this product is mainly only used to record accidents not obtain lic plates while car is in motion.... dispite the cons i am able to express this is still one of the best car dash cams out there.

Stanley J309 300 Amp Jump Starter
Buy Stanley J309 300 Amp Jump Starter Now
Nice features, well constructed. I plug it in to charge it up once a month. (more often than suggested) I let it charge for two full days when I charge it, indicators read full charge.I needed to use it today because my car battery finally died (6 years old). I plugged the Stanley in to top up the charge, let it top up for two hours. Indicator showed full charge. Tried to start the car. Nothing. I could see sparks when I attached the battery, so I know there was juice, but just not enough to turn over the 6 cylinder engine.
The Stanley unit has a battery level indicator, before the attempt it read full charge. After, the indicator was in the middle. Back inside, I hook it up to charge it again, it reads low.
GM road side assistance showed up with a much beefier version of a portable battery source, and the car started up immediately.
This unit is one year old, so I am guessing that the internal battery just does not last, or can not actually supply the starting current that it claims.
Just a big beautiful paper weight. Go for a much beefier unit, or perhaps one with lithium ion batteries. Better yet, just subscribe to a road side assistance plan.My battery wouldn't hold a charge and I used this every day for 4 months to start my car and it exceeded my expectations. I never expected it to last that long, but with charging once every 3 weeks or so it worked fine. Small, portable, and much easier than jumper cables. Highly recommended.I use it to start my lawn mower and cars if necessary. So far, it has been working well. It is much better off for me to have this battery pack than buying a dedicated battery for my lawn mower. A great product!

Stanley PC509 500 Watt Inverter
CON'sWorthless because of the safety switch.
In a power inverter, you would expect some loss to the output rating based on your power source. The unit is rated as being able to output 500w on a direct 12v battery terminal as the source. I found the unit struggling to keep up with a 200w coffee maker, designed for low wattage usage for camping and diverse applications. Never-mind if you want to run a 75w laptop on the inverter while in 100w mode (using the cigarette lighter as power source). This unit's safety power overload whatever function is too sensitive, it is ridiculous as i try to balance turning on the unit and plugging my devices into the unit to see how it will function.
I bought it, tried it for a weekend and returned it to Lowes. I will not buy another Stanley electronic device because of this unit.I use a lot of inverters to power various electronics when on the road. Most often it is for laptops, camera, and various charging units.
The Stanley PC509 is a decent unit. The two sockets are conveniently placed on the front of the unit. Though not quite enough space to accomodate two power bricks, the placement is more convenient than other units. There is also a USB charging plug so that smaller electronics such as cell phones, Point-and-Shoot cameras, iPods, etc., can be charged with just a USB cable. This more than makes up for the spacing of the plugs. The sockets also have covers which is a nice touch.
There are some minor downsides. First, the unit is much larger than comparable rated units. It's too large to fit in the center console of my car so ended up on the floor. Not a big deal, but the other downside is that the fan is quite loud. The fan doesn't run continuously, but when it does, is quite noticeable even when on the highway.
Other things to note:
1) The cigarette adapter will not power the unit to the full capacity. Though rated at 500W, the cigarette adapters on most cars top out at around 120W. Direct battery connect cables are provided, but if you don't anticipate using it attached to the battery, go with a lower rated unit and save $30.
2) Even without load, this thing will pull power from your battery. I'm not certain if this is true for all inverters, but I almost drained my battery when I left the inverter plugged in.

I've had the unit about one week and have been using it to power a laptop. I have mine tapped directly into a live circuit of my vehicle's wiring. This was a major pain in the butt, but I wasn't sure how well it would run off the cigarette lighter.Cons: I've been having the same problem as David. Sometimes the unit goes into protect mode when I start my vehicle. Yes, this is annoying. Thankfully, I have the unit installed within easy reach, so I can live with the problem... but still annoying. Sometimes it takes several tries to get the unit running again. The fan is also a little noisy, but it rarely runs when I'm using it, so far.
Pros: Key things I like about the overall design and layout of the inverter:
1. Angled receptacles
2. USB charging port
3. Front mounted rocker / power switch, so I can easily turn off the unit when not in use.
Those were the selling points for me, compared with other products on the market. Also the price... $40 at the local big box home improvement center.

projects...I bought two of these for my windmill. I have a 24v windmill goes to two batteries thus invert to ac current. My lab top went crazy once in a while and the mouse got really sensitive. So I use them for lighting and radio or hopefully to charge my ev car in the future.Want Stanley PC509 500 Watt Inverter Discount?
I used this unit to power various AC devices in a U-Haul truck during a cross-country journey (a small boom-box, laptop PC, camera charger). The total load was less than 200 watts.Every time I cranked the truck, the unit tripped and was dead. I had to turn it off and back on, and about half the time it would not trip again (eventually, after cycling it enough times, the power light would stay green and we were good to go, though sometimes I had to cycle it seven or eight times).
I attached the unit directly to the battery using the (very short) cables provided. That means the unit has to be under the hood if you want to use the provided battery cables. I had a power strip in the cab, and ran the connection to the inverter. So, every time I cranked the truck, I had to get out, raise the hood, and cycle the unit (often multiple times). That got really annoying each time I had to stop for gas, or to grab a meal, or when starting out for the day.
It did not matter if there was any load attached, either when cranking the truck or when cycling the unit with the truck running (I unplugged the power strip no difference).
Also, the mounting for the posts that attach the unit to the power source (either the battery or cigarette lighter) were both broken if you push on them, they would disappear into the unit. I had to be very careful when attaching the power wires so that the posts would not become inaccessible.
When it was working, it was great. But it was hard to get it working.

These work for low-impact installs. Would not recommend using these at your battery terminals (at fuse or capacitor should be fine).JMO, I thought the metal to be way too thin. When I crimped them, I thought I might have broken them (really thin).
But, they are still holding up with no issues. I just feel more comfortable with a sturdy terminal.
Looks great!!I chose to cut one of these in half at the end and grid the sides down, because I wanted to see if they were real down to the core. They are real gold, after grinding the one in half it was gold plated all the way through the core. I used the 0 gauge on my fuse box going to the battery and for my alternator going to the battery. As well as my capacitor. The zero gauge wire fits perfect. In order to crimp them down on the wire you will have to tap them with a hammer or use good pair of pliers. I'm sure theirs other connectors out their like DB, but you will pay more and their all the same and what it boils down to is the quality of the connector and not down sizing your wire to make it fit. Best thing about these is I know without a doubt the power transfer through my 0 or 8 gauge wire is getting directly through whats it's connected too.
I would recommend these to any car stereo professional.

Garmin Vehicle Power Cable
- Cigarette lighter adapter for automotive use
- For Garmin eTrex Vista C
- For Garmin eTrex Legend C
- For Garmin eTrex Vista 24 MB GPS with Compass and Altimeter
Instead I did some research and discovered a nifty little item called a USB car adapter for as low as two dollars! then I can just use the USB cord that came with the unit! Only the wires needed for supplying power are used and not those for the data (they are separate wires in the cord). For more info do a search on Wikipedia for USB, and Goggle and right here at Amazon for USB car chargers.
I found a great dual charging unit elsewhere for $15 including shipping. With the dual unit I can charge my eTrex Vista HCx and phone or PDA, both at the same time. Just make sure the power output is 4.75 to 5.25V, that's the USB power specification. All but one of the units I found where in the proper power range though one was 7.2V, which is too high.
BTW, the little connector at the eTrex is also a USB connecter, just a different type (shape) then you may be used to. They call it a `mini USB,' while the larger one on the other end (of the cord that came with the unit) is a `USB type A', the same you typically see for computers and flash cards. It doesn't matter though, they are just differently shaped connectors that do exactly the same thing.
Don't pay Garmin's outrageous prices. Get a USB car adapter and power your eTrex through the USB cord supplied with your unit. It's the same as when you plug your unit into your computer's USB port and the computer supplies the unit with 5V power. Enjoy

I ordered this item from Electrogalaxy through Amazon.com and received a 110 volt power cable. I'm not sure what it would fit.Electrogalaxy did not respond to my emails as to getting the right product or determining if the description is wrong. Instead they refunded my purchase, minus the $8 it cost to ship it back to them. This is their stated policy so if you can't trust them to send the right product, don't buy from them.
In short, I'm $8 in the hole with nothing to show for it, other than the knowledge to not buy from this company.
I would recommend you email the company before purchasing this item to verify what you are getting.

Works fine with my Vista HCx, just way overpriced!But, it allows the use of the GPS in the car without using your batteries, and is great for turning up the brightness, as others have noted.
Garmin really does need to think some things through however. Both their AC and DC adapters are just that, adapters. The Vista HCx GPS I use accepts rechargeable batteries, but neither of their adapters are designed to charge batteries, but only to supply voltage to operate?! Kind of short-sighted on their part.
Good product, but I'm deducting points for price, and being unable to function as a charger.I have two of these things. When used with a car lighter outlet, they cause my Legend Cx to overheat. When used with a true 12v. power source, they work fine. Most cars actually run at about 13.6 to 14 volts instead of 12. Garmin is trying hard to help me resolve this, but in the meantime, be aware that certain units may experience problems with this system.It's fine as a charger but I wish Garmin had designed it as a standard 1 pin charger and placed the access point at he base of the unit not the top rear. Horrible placement. Also cord is way too long and is difficult to get the charger into the usb port. I am also concerned that the constant opening and closing of the rubber flat the waterproofs the usb port will damage it.

This new whistler is great!!! The fact that it is cordless makes it universal from car to motorcycle. It's charger works very well when plugged in to a power point for a short time. The XTR-540 lasts a whole week on one charge on my work commute, (approx 12 hours). Since my commute is 45 minutes to and from work, the battery saver set to 1 hour works well for me.On the other side, this unit will detect radar alot further than the eye can see, if it alarms, you better believe it.
Buy it!!! for the money, it's the best on the market. It's better than my last $400.00 Escort that was stolen.
Read Best Reviews of Whistler XTR-540 Cordless Radar Detector Here
I bought this for my girlfriend's car that I drive from time to time. It alerts the user to threats through the audible alert system, but it is hard to remember the different sounds, which is why it is great to be able to visually see what the threat is. The problem with this device is that in the day time, you can not see the screen AT ALL! No matter if you change the brightness of the screen or change the viewing angle, it is impossible to see what threats are in the area. At night, you can see it ok, but it is still not up to the quality I believe it should have. Final review....spend your money on a different radar detector (I wish I would have returned it, but was too busy to deal with the problem).I've had the XTR-540 for about a week now, and so far, so good. Nice display, nice suction cup mount. Minimum number of false alarms. Fairly intuitive setup and menu system. Seems to be holding a charge fairly long. Nice compact size for a cordless unit.Just purchased and used on a 2500mi round trip through various states. Once I learned the settings and set the unit up how I wanted, it performed well. Only drawback was the amount of battery time consumed. However, with modified settings I can probably improve battery life time.Wednesday, November 20, 2013

It's not perfectly clear how many or what color you're getting so I thought I would elaborate on it.
They are made in China of course but the quality is very nice.

Buy Sirius radio 5v cigarette lighter car power cord adapter 5v Now
I wasn't getting power to my Sirius sat radio. I determined it was the charger. After going to numerous radio shacks to be told they don't have one but they would be willing to sell me a new radio with all the accessories I went to the Amazon site and boom there it was.It works as expected and was inexpensive.Read Best Reviews of Sirius radio 5v cigarette lighter car power cord adapter 5v Here
Shipped fast. Worked, which is always good. Learned that plugging and unplugging from power port is probably the action that ruined my power cord in the first place. So, leave the power cord plugged in if you know that it won't drain your battery...probably wont on newer models.Want Sirius radio 5v cigarette lighter car power cord adapter 5v Discount?

Associated Equipment 6006 6/12/24V 70/65/30 Amp Charge 280 Amp Cranking Assist Charger with Wheels
It is a great charger except for one deplorable thing! It has heavy plastic insulation on the cables and electrical cord! They are so stiff you would think it was crap from China, and that's just at 50 degrees F. I have no idea how much more contemptable they'll be when the weather REALLY gets COLD, when a person generally most often needs a charger. So if you want flexible cables get one with rubber insulation.......yeh right, like anyone nowadays bothers to tell you that or even mention the type of insulation. If it gives me problems at 25 degrees below F., I will probably swap them out with #3 or #4 welding cable, and if I do, they will will be 3 feet longer, to reach high up on my old tractors.
Had this charger the aforementioned excellent cable insulation, I would readily give it 5 Stars. This charger does not have all the bells and whistles, to go haywire, plain, simple, durable, and will hopefully last 20 plus years easily, as long as no dummy goes and touches/sparks the charging clamps together! (Knocks the sap out of and dramatically shortenes the life of the rectifier(s).
I hope someone at Associated reads and fixes this, until they do I will have to recommend Century brand made in Minnesota....it gets cold there, they know. One would want to make sure about the cable insulation first, though.
My Matco (made by them) lasted 28 years, with only 2 recifier replacements, now not to be had) Don't get me wrong, Associated is good American built product, it is just a shame they cut a corner. lssmonikeratyahoodotcomWe have a lot of Equipment that are 24 volt systems and this just what we needed to service them. I would reccomend this to other customers.
