Schumacher PC-6 120AC to 6A 12V DC Power Converter

I originally bought a different brand, which lasted about 2 minutes before it burnt out serving a power load below its rated capacity. This one works and has not failed. It does get hot. And although you may think those ridges on the sides are metal heat sinks, they are just plastic decoration. The entire case is plastic, with just a few air holes. So if you can provide some airflow to help cool it, you should do so. I am using it to power a thermoelectric cooler, so I place it next to the cooler so the cooler fan blows on it. That helps.

Original Review -

This converter works fine and gave new life to an old car stereo in my grandparents garage. Yes, like the other reviewer mentioned, this adapter is only rated for 6 amps rather than 10, but the description has been fixed now. The converter doesn't run hot while in use and the green power LED is a nice touch. However, I think that the build quality could be somewhat better, the top and bottom of the casing is warped pretty noticeably.

Update -

About a year or so after I wrote this review, I replaced the incandescent lights in my grandparents garage with fluorescent lamps. Unfortunately, whenever I would turn on the new lights, the car radio that was being powered by this converter would pick up interference from the fluorescent lamps. It would completely overpower any FM or AM station, and could even be heard when playing a CD or when using the auxiliary input. It seems this converter has very poor or no filtering. I have since switched to a Pyramid PS15KX 10A 13.8-Volt Power Supply with Cigarette Lighter Adapter, which does a great job at filtering interference and outputs more power as well. However, considering the extra expense, bulk, and heat output the Pyramid offers, I would still recommend this converter to someone who will not be powering any devices that are susceptible to RF interference.

I have to refrigerate medicine, and have a small refrigerator (which holds a 6 pack of soda) that plugged into the car lighter. However, I was heading to a motel room which did NOT have a refrigerator in it. This was an absolute Godsend! I was able to plug it in, and then plug in my refrigerator--it has been a lifesaver--literally! I would recommend this item over & over!

This AC/DC Power Converter is powerful. When I attached my Bell Inflation Station Air Compressor it had a lot of power. It gives the same power as when I had the Air Compressor plugged in the cigarette lighter of the car. I tested by inflating the electric scooter tires & it was done in seconds! I also have a bicycle and I already know that this will work as good! So handy and now I don't have to go to the gas station for Air in my tires. I'm very pleased. I also got this package in 5 days! It shipped a few hours from when I ordered. And I live OVERSEAS!!! in a military instillation but that is still super fast shipment. I highly recommend! Thanks for all the good postings on here & helped me decide to get it. The product itself does not look cheap, it's heavy duty & does not look cheap or it does not seem to break easy.

Very good Power Supply for Kooltron Thermoelectric cooler application. It Runs cooler than the usual 5 vdc supplies and provides enough current for the cooler. Much bulkier than the normal 5vdc units but should last longer due to the cooler operation.

Patuoxun Portable Bluetooth Audio Music Streaming Receiver Adapter with 3.5 mm Stereo Output

• Bluetooth V2.1, Wireless connection, Support A2DP function
• Bluetooth distance: up to 10 meters(33") . Frequency: 2.4GHz
• 3.5mm stereo audio output, LED indicator, One touch connect button, Sleep mode
• Support headphones like: iPhone, Android phones, other smart phones which with Bluetooth A2DP functions.
• Power supply: charge via mini USB cable. Operation time: up to 8 hours(built-in battery); Code: 0000(no code needed when pair with apple or android device)

For $20, this EDUP streaming music device does a pretty good job. I'm using this to stream music from my iphone 5 to my car's stereo. My car has a 3.5mm auxilliary jack and I currently use a long cord to connect the phone to the stereo. It's cumbersome and the wire always gets in the way.

Here's what the EDUP does well: (1) Easy to pair with my iphone 5 (just push the button for about 7 seconds until the lights flash and it's done). (2) Easy to turn on (just hold the button for about 3 seconds until the light flashes and the audio indicator plays over the car's speakers to let you know it's on). (3) Easy to turn off (just push the button for about 5 seconds until the light flashes and the audio tone tells you it's off). (4) Sounds just as good as plugging my phone directly into the auxilliary audio port in my car. (5) Can play and charge at the same time via the 12V power outlet in my car -I leave it plugged in all the time. (6) Falls asleep to conserve power when not used for about 20 minutes. (7) When a call comes in, I am able to turn on my bluetooth earpiece and the audio switches from the EDUP to my earpiece appropriately. (8) Comes with a short male 3.5mm to male 3.5mm jack (shown in the picture), a male 3.5mm to male 3.5 cable in case the little jack won't physically fit in your car (I prefer the cable because the auxilliary port is in the bottom of the center console of my car, which is tough to reach with all my junk in there -the cable allows me to put the EDUP on top of the stuff in the center console which is easier to reach), and a short micro USB charging cable.

Here's what could be improved: (1) While the on/off function isn't horrible, it could be easier... maybe toggle between on/off without having to count 3 or 5 seconds depending on which operation you want (seems like the device could figure out that if "I'm currently on and the user is pressing the button, the user wants to me to turn off now")... maybe separate buttons... maybe move the light indicator so it isn't directly on the button (which ends up being under the finger that is pressing the buttons). (2) I'd love it if this would automatically wake up when I turn on the car... maybe it could recognize that power from the 12V outlet is off and go to sleep and then when the power is restored, it could wake up. I realize the EDUP also runs on battery power, so this may not be technically feasible given that it will "always" have some form of power. (3) When I hang-up the bluetooth earpiece after taking a call, it would be awesome if the EDUP would resume playing music. As it is now, the music pauses when I switch over to the earpiece and I have to actually press the "play" button on the phone to get the music to resume after I hang up the earpiece. I think this is probably a function of the phone, not the EDUP, though.

If the EDUP could do #1 on the things on the "to be improved" list, I would have given it 5 stars. If it could everything on my "to be improved" list, I would have given it 5 stars AND I would have been willing to pay an additional $10 or $20 for the device. Other than that, it's a great little device and does what I had hoped it would do.

UPDATED: I started to get really irritated with the "hold the button for 3 seconds to turn on and 5 seconds to turn off" functionality. It seems that I could never get the hang of what 3/5 seconds felt like and it constantly took me 2 or 3 tries to get this thing to turn on/off. I purchased a different bluetooth receiver that doesn't have a battery. With the new receiver, when there's power, it's on. When there's no power, it's off. No on/off switch to deal with. I like it much better for my particular application.

Buy Patuoxun Portable Bluetooth Audio Music Streaming Receiver Adapter with 3.5 mm Stereo Output Now

This was a surprisingly good product! I was originally going to buy the HTC version, but that was about $50 dollars. This "generic" version worked just as well. I charged it overnight, popped it into the aux jack in my car, and had my phone connect to it, and BAM. Quality music was able to play for about 6-8 hours straight. The device also turns off automatically once you leave the car for a short period of time. So if you take your phone with you the device is smart enough to just power off. My only gripe is that you have to turn it on every time you get in the car. No problem though, just a short 2 second press on the button. Flashing Blue light means streaming. Flashing Red/Blue light means pairing mode.

I use this in the Aux port on my Harley so that I don't have more wires strung to my phone for music. Works great, sounds great! Has a decent battery lifestarts beeping over the system when it's about to die. A little confusing to power up/pair/power off, but not too complex. Great especially for the price!

Want Patuoxun Portable Bluetooth Audio Music Streaming Receiver Adapter with 3.5 mm Stereo Output Discount?

Works just as it should! My friend had one in his car that's how I found out about this bluetooth.

Received the item very quickly in the mail (as the seller I had bought from promised)... Used it for 4-1/2 hours straight with no charge and the quality was superb!... I bought this to use with my Sony SRS-P7 passive speakers while in my house and i had ordered one of those Eco Extreme Waterproof Speaker Cases (from Grace Digital) to become my designated outdoor speaker (that i can't wait to get and try out, especially for the beach / river)... Felt I needed to go the Bluetooth route... because, most people that come over are very hesitant about hooking up there smartphones directly to capable audio players / speakers via the aux (3.5mm) input, unlike mp3 players... because trying to separate people from their phones is almost the equivalence of taking somebody off of life support or so it seems... but with this little devices Bluetooth receiver function, all of that becomes remedied!... since anyone can pair up their smartphone and take their hand at playing the DJ (even though everyone I know pretty much listens to internet radio exclusively)... since internet radio is definitely the preferred listening paradigm over anyone's "personal" mp3 player...

All in all, I think this is a sweet device and works just as good as the Miccus Blubridge $40 dollar version (which might just come with a cable or two extra)... which I saw youtube videos on both products and both seemed the same quality wise... but still, I just have to highly recommend that anyone who is looking for a reliable, wireless, and qualified solution (that's much better than any fm transmitter, if your attempting a wireless solution)... to stop, look no further and then order one of these guys!... Good luck!

Trillium 12V Heated Travel Blanket

My boyfriend got me this blanket for Christmas because he was tired of either sweating or listening to me shiver every time we take a winter ride in the car. We own a small car and since he is bigger than me and usually driving, the heat seems to hit him much more directly. This resulted in a constant heat-up, heat-down battle that was only resolved with the purchase of this blanket. I didn't have any of the odor or fragility issues that some of the other reviewers did, so maybe I just got lucky but for now, we can leave the heat off or on low so that my boyfriend doesn't cook while I stay toasty warm underneath the blanket. Even though I have a fairly unique situation, this heated throw provided the perfect solution.

This blanket has been great for our winter travels. The only downside is that it cannot be machine washed. Didn't think to check that before buying. It is great for the family mini van.

Buy Trillium 12V Heated Travel Blanket Now

I bought this for transporting a large musical instrument over long drives in the winter. So far it seems to have worked. My gripes so far are: 1. small. at least for the instrument. I got a second one, but for most folks using this for the "regular" reasons, it should be ok. A little larger would still be nice though. 2. the plug fell apart. I was able to reassemble it, but it shouldn't have twisted apart on the third use. 3. no temp control. It would be nice for the ability to set it on different temps, but this one heats to one temp only. It isn't too hot or anything, but sometimes I'd like to be able to regulate it more. 4. it heats quicker when it is folded up. When it isn't, it may take a long time.

Overall, it seems to be a good purchase. Time will tell and I may need to update this, but it is pretty good.

Nice, thick fuzzy blanket with built-in 12 volt electric warmer and auto-shutoff timer. I've used this on a May RV trip up to Alaska and the Yukon and never got cold, even when it was freezing outside. I just wish it was a little longer. Other than that, a great product.

We bought these March 2005 for the kids to keep warm when first entering our cold vehicle in Colorado winters. The timer is a great feature especially if you have it plugged into an UN-switched power outlet. So far, they've been great. Cleaning is the only issue. No machine washing. Spot cleaning works fine though and everyone is still happy. Keep in mind that these are child size or maybe the leg area of an adult.

R-134a Super Seal A/C Leak Sealer by Interdyamics

I bought this product from a local auto parts store after seeing the reviews online. I tried the Interdynamics EZ Chill but it never really stayed in the system. I could hear a hiss from the instrument panel whenever the A/C was on, especially on acceleration. So I figured there was a leak on that area, which would cost a fortune to have fixed at a repair shop. My van has 168K miles so it's not worth the repair. Why not give this a shot? (I thought to myself). So I bought it along with an extra can of straight R-134a coolant.

I followed instructions to the tee. The passenger side was getting a little cooler, but the driver side was very warm. It took about 15 minutes of driving until they both started to cool down (the rear was cold immediately). After 45 minutes of driving it really got nice and cold and I could hear intermittent hissing, but it eventually went away, which must be good. I'll update after a few weeks to see if the charge remains.

Before using the sealer our Jeep would hold a charge for a couple of days, been four weeks and it is still blowing cold.

The repair on the heat exchanger in the dash was estimated at $900, so this was a great deal.

Before using this product, I tried recharging my system with R-134a that included a leak sealant. But the system was empty three days later. I needed a better sealant or some major work so I tried this product. Using it is easy. It seals so well that you need to follow the instructions exactly and immediately recharge with R-134a after using this product, and keep the system running for 15 minutes on maximum cool, so you don't seal your charging ports.

One of the big reasons for A/C leaks is dried seals due to not turning the A/C on between seasons. I can't say why my system leaked, but three days after I used this product, I had to stop using my system for almost a year. And when I started using it again, it was still at full capacity and has remained there since.

Read Best Reviews of R-134a Super Seal A/C Leak Sealer by Interdyamics Here

I had a somewhere near the compressor last year when I purchased a used car. I charged the system because I failed to realize the leak and it was empty within a few days. It says it is recommended to only use on leaks that empty after two weeks but this product sealed it completely. Make sure your compressor is running before entering this into the system and charge afterwards to prevent a sealant on the port. So far it has been leak free for about a week, if I don't update this than that means it has worked for as long as this review has been posted. I am happy to finally have air!

UPDATE: Today the compressor failed to initiate. I checked the level of refrigerant and it is too low to start the compressor up. It looks like it failed to seal the leak but sealed it partially as the refrigerant took awhile to leak out. Will purchase a new compressor and install that and hope that fixes the issue.

Nissan Quest Wireless DVD Headphones (Black, 1 Headset)

• Infrared Wireless DVD Headphones for Mobile/Vehicle entertainment
• Durable and lightweight construction for comfort
• Padded over-ear headphones for high quality sound
• Folding, dual channel, auto off, adjustable headband
• Free Shipping. 30 day money back guarantee. Batteries Included.

These are not Nissan OEM headphones but are generic headphones. They do not have the same build quality BUT they only cost $25 vice $108 for the OEM ones (if you get them through the dealer.) SO I don't know if they will hold up that well (not a big problem for me, my youngest is a teenager) but they work just fine in our 2009 Quest. My daughter does say that these are more comfortable than the OEM ones. I did toss the cheap batteries that come with them and used some brand name alkaline ones. If you need to save a few $$ (even on AMAZON the equivalent to the Nissan OEM headphones cost around $40 apiece) these will work fine.

Clore JNC660 'Jump-N-Carry' 1,700 Peak Amp 12-Volt Jump Starter

If you can't start your car or truck with this thing, you have bigger problems than a dead battery! This unit is one of the most powerful portable battery jumpers out there at 1700 peak amps. That's almost twice as powerful as many other lower quality competitors.

This is not a "multi-purpose" unit that you will find at the local big box store. It's not an air compressor, radio, flashlight, food processor and battery jumper. It's only a battery jumper, although it does have a "cigarette-lighter" style socket to power other items if needed.

This is a great product, but consider this before you buy it: This model may not be for everyone. This is a professional grade item and is not intended to be used by people unfamiliar with proper battery jumping procedures. Here's why I say this:

1. Some battery jumping devices have a feature that will alert you if you hook the jumper cables up incorrectly. This unit has no such feature.

2. Some have safety switches that remove power to the cables while you are hooking them up. This unit has no such switch.

3. Some battery jumpers have sophisticated chargers that won't allow you to overcharge the battery. Not this one. When you plug it in to recharge it, you can't just walk away for 2 days and let it charge. You have to monitor it during the recharging process.

4. Some battery jumpers have a set of generic lights to tell you the current state of charge of the booster box. Not this one. It has a voltmeter on the front and you need to know how to read it.

Now, none of these items is THAT big of a deal, but I thought it was worth mentioning. If you aren't familiar with how to properly jump-start a car, you may be better off with another model with more "dummy-proof" features.

One last comment: This Jump n Carry comes with a redeemable certificate for a one-time replacement unit. If (for ANY reason) this unit stops working during its lifetime, you send it back to the company with the certificate (along with $50) and they will repair or replace it, no questions asked. Not a bad deal!

Bottom Line: If you need the most power in a single-purpose jumper box, buy this one!

Per the manufacturer, all of the JNC660's manufactured AFTER May 2010 now have an AUTO CHARGE feature that allows for you to plug the unit into charge and not have to monitor the charging process. This was a very big drawback of this unit prior as noted in one of the 5 star reviews from G.Powers [Looking for the most powerful battery jumper? Read on..., November 21, 2007] However, the other 'dummy proof' features are still not included in this unit (reverse hookup and turning off power to the cables during hookup)

First off let me just say that this unit is a heck of a lot better than the ones in your box stores. I have a construction company so there is always something with a dead battery everyday. This unit works good for the first, second, and 'sometimes' third jump but that's usually it. After about 8 days of heavy use I can only get the unit to recharge to about 70%I may return it. My only other complaint is that when you are in a hurry and wrap the cables back up its very easy to slice into the cable with the handles.

GPS Portable Travel USB Plug-in Rapid 12 Volt Car Charger

After breaking the power cord for my Magellan GPS, I looked around for a replacement. Magellan was ready to sell me a new one for $25. Same price for a generic one from an electronics store. Then I found another one here at Amazon for $12. And, finally, I came across this one for less than a dollar. The price disparity was so great that I was inclined to be suspicious of its quality, but for less than a dollar I was willing to risk it. It works just fine. As noted by another reviewer, the cord is just a little on the short side, but I have found it long enough to reach over the steering wheel from the cigarette lighter to the lower left corner of the windshield in my 2003 Toyota Rav-4. I've only needed to use it a single time since the purchase but so far, so good.

Original car charger was destroyed. Tried numerous usb adapters and chargers, all would power the unit but would not charge the internal battery. This charger/adapter did the trick. Although it doesn't have the feel of quality as the original (cord isn't rubberized or as long as the original) it is definitely worth the price. A+

Buy GPS Portable Travel USB Plug-in Rapid 12 Volt Car Charger Now

This device works like it is designed to, however the cord is the coiled type, and seems a little short. If you are needing to span a fairly long distance from the GPS unit to the cigarette lighter plug, then you may consider a non-coiled design.

I have a Jeep Cherokee, and the GPS is mounted on the front windshield. Not a great distance to the lighter socket, but it is a bit of a stretch with this coiled cable.

Otherwise this one works well, with a good solid connection on both ends, and an indicator (red) LED light tells you the plug is operating.

Schumacher CR-1 Charge 'n Ride 3 Amp 6/12 Volt Universal Battery Charger for Ride-On Toys

I bought two of thes since I run dual batteries on my power wheels one worked once, now it aborts every time before full charge. The second one never worked, the power led comes on but the charging never does and never charges. Took the second one back and exchanged it for another one with the same results so after three of these chargers one works half the time.

I bought this to charge and recharge my kids power wheels battery. I used it 1 time, got the full charge. I then bought a second battery so the kids can run the car for longer periods, and the charger failed immediately. Called Shumacher support number, and they were perplexed by how the charger was acting, instructed me to go ahead and plug it back in and let it set until it started charging. It never got there, the red L E D power light just flashed slowly, never reset, or charged another battery.

Fonus Universal Car Mount Holder with Dual USB Charger and Charging Socket for Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm using this for an HTC 8x Windows Phone.

The Good: Obviously great that it has two USB ports for charging plus the additional lighter charger. The device holder/grip is very tight which I like because I know for sure my phone won't fall out. The neck is bendable which is also nice.

The Bad: It does not fit very well in the lighter area. Partly it's probably because of the weight of the phone but even without that there is some "play" so the mount kinda wobbles while driving. I've tried in both lighter chargers in my car and have the same problem. This might not be an issue in other cars, especially those that have a vertical lighter charger as shown in the stock photo on this listing. Mine's horizantal.

Overall: I do recommend it, it's generally a good design. I'll just have to find a way to make it work for me.

My previous one broke so I got this as a replacement. Use this in my truck to keep my smart phone near by and charge. I like this more that my previous model due to the swivel base.

Nexus One Car Dock - By Google / HTC

• Genuine HTC / Google Nexus One Item
• Built in speaker
• The car dock uses bluetooth to connect to Nexus One

I purchased this just under a month ago and have been extremely happy with it. A few points:

1. I didn't want to mount it to my windshield or permanently to my dash. I bought a weighted GPS Dash pad and have it sitting on my dash. It's comfortably within reach and hasn't budged.

2. I highly recommend a homescreen replacement that allows for landscape orientation. I use HelixLauncher so I can access all the functions easily.

3. The dock has speakers built in. This is great for amplifying calls but you'll probably want to use a 3.5 plug to pipe music into your speaker. Under settings-dock, make sure you select the option to use the dock for calls, but not audio.

4. Get in the habit of adding the address to your calendar events. Once you get into the car you can just tap into your calendar and navigate to the location.

This is a great item, and considering the battery life on the N1 I consider it to be a necessity.

Buy Nexus One Car Dock - By Google / HTC Now

If you use the Nexus One as a GPS device, this car dock is a must have. The speakers on the dock are great. Music and Navigation sounds really good on it.

One of the review says that this obstructs view and is unsafe. I have a few comments about that. First of all, you select where to mount the dock, so if it obstructs your view, then you should really pick another spot to mount it. Also, all GPS devices are unsafe if you are playing with it while driving. You're suppose to set it before driving your car and the GPS will give you direction as you are driving. It's really not a good idea to be playing with the GPS when the car is moving. That is almost as bad as texting while driving.

Also regarding:

Other design flops:

dock has volume control that does not work if the base is not plugged in

Of course you have to plug it in, where else would the energy come from? Also you want to plug it in so you can charge your phone. Otherwise your phone's battery will be drained.

phone's volume control buttons are covered by the dock

The dock has buttons for volume controls.

dangerously heavy

It's a little on the heavy side, but I wouldn't say that it's dangerously heavy.

The fit and finish is exceptional, and it even fits my phone with the invisible shield that I have on the phone. As I mentioned in the title, I with that it would tilt a bit more, so that the base would be out of my view when attached to the windshield. Literally 2 degrees more would do it.

Exogear Exomount Car Mount Holder For Samsung Galaxy S3 Note N7000 i9220 4G - White

This is an amazing product, I had bought my new Galacy S3 on launch date also buying a cheaper phone cradle, What a waste of money that was, £10 wasted, it cracked with viabration from my cars supension!! HENSE my new purchase.This replacement is the ONLY CAR PHONE HOLDER YOU WILL EVER NEED. as it grips well even before you clamp it down. It sticks well to corser dash consoles and curves, which is a big ask from a device like this. Is as simple to use as a bull clip to use and as its design in the same manner it will open to grip almost all phones from old school small to supper big galaxy notes approx 5".

The holder has been well designed with good quality plastics and clean edges. the rubber that grips your phone on the inside is soft and grippy silicon and well not slip. The spring clamp on the phone is another great idea, as it dose not let go. NOT EVEN ON MY ZCAR MINI a track day car with race set up suppension. it will viabrate but nothing bad , its as smooth as silk in my family car. its been so good I have bought one for my track car as well so I do not neen to swap over any more. You can you tube it to see more details now.

Buyer Beware. This item is counterfeit. It is NOT a real Exogear Exomount! It is a cheap piece of junk plastic that will barely stick to clean glass let alone a car dashboard. Avoid this seller! I will post pictures of the box, which contains directions in broken english and the actual item, which is lacking both an Exogear logo and Patent number.

FROM THE EXOGEAR WEBSITE:

Notice: Please beware of counterfeit exomounts being sold on other sites. All genuine EXOGEAR exomounts carry the EXOGEAR logo on the product and retail box as well as the US Patent number on the bottom of the exomount.

DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM FROM THIS SELLER!

It holds my S3 securely(The clamps on this mount are strong) and I can angle it just how I want it.

Update 10/30/2012 I've had this mount for over a month now and it has never once fell off my dashboard. I tried to pull it up but it's stuck on there really good. My dashboard isn't smooth and it's not really bumpy, just kinda in between, but it's holding good. If you need a mount you can't go wrong with this one!

Excellent. It arrived very quickly, faster than several other items I had ordered a couple of weeks before and works exactly as advertised. It sticks to the side panel of my winshield, which is textured and never held anything before. Today I used it riding in the back seat and it held to the plastic part of the back of the driver's seat. Held for hours, no problem at all. Even better, hasn't left any marks.

The plastic could be of a thicker/higher quality, but if you're careful it shouldn't be a problem. Also, the clip design is great. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but it holds things more securely than the old designs and is more universal, easily fitting different sizes. Works perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy 4.2.

It works for pretty much any phone you can stick in it. Good suction cup and anchoring system. Applies enough pressure, but doesn't damage phone. Not as clunky and chunky as other car mounts. Love it!

OTC 4611 Battery Terminal Puller

I used this tool to pull the windshield wipers off a 1998 M3 that had, presumably, been on the car for the last 14 years (given the effort required to remove them).

I found the 4611 to be a really solid little tool. Its design allowed me to be comfortable applying the significant amount of torque required to break the arms free as it remained nicely square over the wipers' threaded stud and the leverage arm on the tools threaded rod (the one with the little red tab) is long enough to pull on but not so large that it's in the way (it slides back and forth, in case that isn't clear from the picture).

I also own a OTC 4676 Windshield Wiper Puller which was inadequate for the task, despite a lot more fuss than I invested with the 4611.

This is a well made battery terminal puller for the price. It's manufactured in Taiwan, but seems durable and operates smoothly. This tool will also come in handy for other things like pulling stuck windshield wiper arms and removing press-fit retainer caps and bearings found in small appliances and power tools.

I'm happy with it and when considering the cost, I think it was probably the best overall value I could find for this type of terminal puller.

It's made of metal. It works on almost all types of wiper arms. It's easy to use. The other type, with the plastic knob they sell at Auto Zone breaks easily and it's difficult to use. This one is terrific.

Really good stuff for the price and a breeze to use. The only thing that could do with improvement is the lever handle on top of the screw bolt. If the battery terminal (or wiper arm in my case) is really stuck, the lever will bend when the going gets tough and will require using something else to turn the screw, like pliers. Maybe making the handle of the same material as the claws would fix that.
