Travel Smart By Conair Adapter/Converter Combo with Surge Protection

Upon receiving the product, I first verified that it worked in the U.S. without the converter enabled as a simple pass-through adapter. Once it passed this simple test, I gave it to my girlfriend who successfully used the converter in Hong Kong to step down the voltage at her hotel and at the airport. In addition, her roommate at the hotel was from Beijing, China and was also able to use the device to charge her phone and use her laptop.

The adapter itself is made of plastic, so it's as durable as plastic can be. The knobs that slide along the side lock in place once you've fully extended the prongs. It's a little bulky compared to other adapters, but that's because it contains several mechanisms for various prongs and the voltage converter circuitry. It also holds the input plug very snug, and the output plug also feels like a sturdy connection to the wall outlet.

product worked like it was supposed to. I traveled to a few different countries and it worked in all of them. (Spain, England, Ireland) Very convenient to have an adaptor/convertor all in one!

I used it during a recent trip to Australia and the converter worked fine. But the converter is kind of flimsy and I had a tough time keeping it plugged in.

The unit is easy to use. It worked perfectly for my laptop. I did notice that for the camera charger, in the converter mode my charger became hot quickly so I could only charge for a few minutes at a time. And for my curling iron, the converter mode barely heated the iron while the adapator mode over-heated.

We purchased this Adapter/Converter for a trip to Thailand ..... fortunately, we had a back-up adapter/converter. The Travel Smart by Conair didn't work from day one. It's a poorly constructed, cheap plastic. No surge protection....and none of our appliances (hair dryer, electric toothbrush, etc) would work with it. In fact my hair dryer burned out the first time I used it with this device. It's priced cheaply, but definitely a waste of money.

Moroso 74102 Battery Disconnect Switch

There are many cheap battery disconnect switches on the market but very few of this quality. The current rating is high enough to be used without reservation. El cheapo switches are not worth putting on a valuable race car. You don't want a DNF because your battery disconnect switch fell apart.

Stanley BC4009 40 Amp Automatic Battery Charger

I purchased this unit to charge batteries for emergency use to power a ham radio station. The charger works excellent and with 40 AMPS starting it can charge super fast. The fan is actually real quite when it runs and the backlit LED display is a plus also. The charger is what I call a true auto charger. It wil automaticly choose the rite amps for the battery and how much it is depleated. There is a voltage checker which is pretty handy also and this thing will even do diagnostics on your alternater -TOTALY COOL. I purchased my unit at lowes because I needed it rite away. If your looking for a safe charger that wont over charge your batteries and is set and forget this is it. It will shut off when done and stores power cable and charge leads on board. The LED display shows how many amps it is using as it charges and easy to read.

The charger works well enough but it appears to be manufactured by the same Chinese company that manufactures the smart chargers for Black & Decker and Vector, and it has the same problem that the other brands have... a VERY cheap sleeve bearing fan! The fan on these chargers is critically important. If it fails, the charger will overheat and it WILL burn out. I had a Vector do this a few years ago and then a Black & Decker do it a couple of months ago. The very first time that I used this brand new Stanley, the fan started making the dreaded "grinding noise of death". Unbelievable! I am NOT going to pay to ship it back. I can buy a quality 60mm x 20mm dual ball bearing 12v fan for under $10, take the charger apart, and replace the cheap junk fan. For the life of me I can't figure out why the manufacturer can't spend $2 more on a quality fan given the fact that it is so critically important to the charger's survival. This is fairly typical of much of the cheap Chinese crap that is being sold these days. The problem is that there aren't ANY alternatives available anymore, virtually EVERYTHING is made in China and virtually EVERYTHING made in China is built cheap to sell cheap!

Stored this in the unheated garage until I needed it. When lovey wife left the interior lights on in the Jeep I needed a charger. It was around 32F and after plugging the BC4009 in and connecting to the car battery I get a snowflake symbol next to the clips symbol and no charging. No voltage reading either. Freaked out, this is BRAND FREAKING NEW. Why won't this thing charge my dead battery in cold weather? Thankfully I took a few deep breaths and read the manual where I find out the battery has to have at least two VDC left in it for the charger to know it's connected to a battery. Now I'm quite happy with it. I especially love the ability to wrap the cables up in the housing. No more wire tangle! Much simpler to operate than previous chargers.

The charger works well and is a good value for the money. The only misleading aspect it the battery boost or quick start. It appears as though it is only a 40 Amp charge for 3 min. There is no higher current boost.

Under the usual field conditions, windy, wet, cold and dark the first use was with a completely dead battery in a vehicle in the oiutside shed in the dark. The charger does not work like any othe simple units I had ever used and would not charge until I began the charge by paralleling a trickle charger to give the necessary voltage to the internal sensors in the Stanley charger,Probably good to use in shop or normal charging use but not for some emergency use in field, especially if battery is completely dead.

Heininger 5552 Flexi-Lite Flexible Lighted Magnetic Pick-Up

This arrived with dead batteries but that's not the reason for the two stars. This product is an engineering enigma. You've got this beautifully machined aluminum battery comparment/handle with no-slip grip. Water proof switch, o-ringed cap, heavy duty coated flex neck and an LED light built into the end. Wonderful. Then you get the business end and ...wait a minute......where's the magnet? Oh...it's stuck to the side of the flex neck. Hmm... so, you pull it off and stick it in the end of the tool where it belongs, and as soon as you pick up an object the magnet falls out again. Nice. The head is brass so it's not going to stick to that, no glue, absolutely nothing to keep the magent on the tool. I hate sending things back, so just to make the thing work, I took the end off, used a vise grip to make the magnet slot out of round and provide an interference fit, beat the magnet in with a mallet, now it's working fine. What were they thinking? It's like they ran out of money when it came time to engineer the most important part of the product.

I just recieved this to day,first off the cheep batteries that came with it exploided inside it and I had to clean it with electric motor cleaner (no problem)the light is not as bright as I expected(but gets the job done)and the magnet strength is average (again acceptable)do not expect to recieve a top quality product here although the handle is rather nice.

I should have foreseen the problem when I opened the package.

The lamp flickered, it looked like a poor contact so I checked to see if the caps (battery end-cap and the light end cap) were secure. The battey cap was okay, but the light end cap was loose. I snugged it up a bit (less than a quarter turn) and the lamp no longer flickered. Solved that easily?

Not really, because when I tried to use the light while working on some equipment (the reason I bought it), the lamp flickered again. I checked the lamp-end cap, and it was still loose! Upon closer examination, I could see that the threads were defective; the female cap and the male body could not be secured; a little pull and the cap simply came off in my hand. Then I could see that the wiring (from the battery compartment to the lamp) was badly twisted and frayed, obvious that the flickering was caused by a short or break in the wiring.

It appears that someone, likely on the assembly line, tried to secure the lamp-end cap to the body, it just kept turning and twisted the wiring to the point that it frayed and shorted; of course they solved their problem by shipping the thing to the customer.

It now "swims with the fishes", this is junk, beware.

I purchased this as a White Elephant gift for my car clubs annual gift exchange. This was one of the only gifts that changed hands a number of times and was fought over. It is incredibly handy and will save the day when you invariably drop a nut, bolt or screw into the deep recesses of the engine bay or elsewhere. I'm going to buy one for myself too.
