Fibre Glass Evercoat 108017 Epoxy Glue Syringe

• FIBRE-GLASS EVERCOAT 108017, FIB108017

I used this product to Epoxy pieces of King Starboard I cut into blocks to make a mounting blocks for the amp rack in my boat. King Starboard is basically just a finished piece of plastic.

It did pretty well bonding the blocks to fiberglass.

No where close to a 5 minute dry time that they claim

It was not able to bond the King Starboard pieces to eachother; the bond didn't hold well at all

Honestly, I probably should have went with a better product. This was the cheapest Epoxy I could find and I got what I paid for.

BRUNTON 81-300696 SOLAR CHARGER, SOLARFLAT2-SOLAR,

Seems well constructed. Has an aluminum frame as mentioned in the description. My only suggestion to make it truly weather proof would be a slightly better seal on the rear terminal block housing. I may silicon it or do something to better seal it for the environment I will be using it in. I considered sealing around the frame but this would seem redundant. The frame appears to just provide physical as opposed to environment protection for the panel. The panel itself seems to be sealed by virtue of how it is constructed.

It also comes with a nice selection of adapters(Cigarette Lighter, Alligator clamps, bare ended pigtail), and an LED adapter plug to check function. I purchased it to trickle charge a battery in a 16KW Backup Generator at a vacation property. I now realize that I really do not need it as the Generator is charging the battery regardless as long as it is connected to grid power. I may use it for my boat.

I keep a 19' skiff with a 90 hp outboard on it on a trailer at our beach condo. For the past 4 years this Brunton solar charger has kept my boat battery completely charged and ready to go even when the boat sits idle for six months or more. Before purchasing the charger, putting the boat in the water for the first time each season was a major pain as the battery would be completely dead and would have to be charged before the boat would start and before the power tilt would lift the motor to get the boat cover off. The charger remains connected to the battery and rests outside on the boarding ladder where it gets sunshine through the winter months. There is always plenty of charge on the battery. Now I put the boat in the water and hit the start key. There is plenty of charge for multiple cranking attempts if the motor is reluctant to fire up. It's perfect for my purposes.

Please be aware that this item contains glass my original order was cracked on the corner and my replacement order was totally shattered... After the second time I called it quits and cancelled the order all together for a full refund.

Wasted so much time ordering from amazon with big fail... didn't get to use solar for my camping trip but my walmart order will definitely go on my next camping trip.

Kawasaki 840110 Black 19.2-Volt Drill Kit

• Two speed drill with 25 torque settings matches power to job
• Built-in bubble level for accurate drilling and driving
• Keyless chuck for quick and easy bit changes
• Kit includes assorted drill and driver bits with bit holder and two batteries with battery charger
• Handy storage case keeps bits organized

Price is attractive but you will remember the poor quality long after the low price is forgotten. Drill is made by AllTrade. Drill head on the drill I received for Christmas was not properly aligned, so the bit wobbles with every turn of the drill head. I sent it back to AllTrade for correction while under warranty with a thorough description of the problem but the drill came back in the same condition in which I sent it. Wish I had simply returned it.

If your buying this to be a work horse I probably wouldn't bother, but if your a home handy man who needs a nice cheaply priced drill this is it. I've been in the construction business for over 30 yrs and have always bought heavy duty drills. My drills still work good but having to spend big dollars on a battery just dosn't make sense to me any more. I bought this drill at Christmas and have used it on and off for the last three months. So far it has plenty of power and is a buy for the money. The bits that came with are also pretty good in quality. So for a forty dollar drill I say go for it.

I picked one of these up in a local warehouse club last year, around $40, and used it fairly extensively for a couple of months to install wood floors. It was a compact and well balanced unit, and I liked the way it felt in the hand. Plenty of power for a basic drill/driver, and good battery life.

But after about three months, the switch burned out, and it would no longer work. I dissected it to see if I could fix it, but the switch was shot. I have been unable to find a parts supplier online or otherwise. Kawasaki's sites do not even acknowledge that they make such a product, so I suspect it is manufactured in China and imported under the K label. The reviewer below indicates it is made by AllTrade, but their website says send it back to them, and does not list the replacement parts for sale. Shipping and repair costs will likely be more than the unit originally cost.

It was a nice unit while it lasted, and I may be able to resurrect it with a homemade switch (sacrificing variable speed control).

But based on my experience, I would recommend you spend a little more to get one from a reputable tool manufacturer that stands behind its products.

While it's true that there was a recall on the batteries, it looks like the folks that had trouble with the batteries only being good for 10 to 15 holes did the following: "Put the battery in the charger, and let it sit there." What happens is that a green LED comes on and one would think it's charging. That's not the case. One actually has to push a (flat to the surface) button to initiate charging. So you push the button and a RED light comes on and stays on until the battery is charged. At which point the green light comes on indicating a charged battery.

I must admit I didn't read the manual and thus was running the drill 'for two months' without actually charging it. I only thought I was charging it. That's two months of use on just the battery come-back! That was over two years ago and now that I'm actually charging it the drill has more than enough power and longevity to spare.

Really, the only bad thing I have to say about the drill is that the two spring clip retainers for the drill bits wear out after extended use. But I was always weary about keeping bits there anyway, although I did.

The reason I'm looking at this drill on Amazon is that I was thinking about getting another one, because it's just handy to not having to change the bit all the time from a drill bit to a driving bit.

I am, and have been, happy with the drill and it's an excellent value for the p;rice. If you don't need a corded, heavy duty drill then this Kawasaki will do the job for you.

Exide 75DTORB Orbital Sealed VRLA AGM Automotive Battery

• Replaces Exide Part # ORB75DT-108
• 750 cold cranking amperes; up to 80 minutes of reserve capacity
• Sealed valve-regulated battery is non-spillable and can be mounted upright or on its side in your car
• Highly absorbent glass mat separators provide cushioning for better vibration resistance
• Sealed maintenance-free design produces no gases under normal operating conditions

I bought this AGM battery because I got tired of my old battery and its acid leaks. I was lucky to be able to fix the acid leaks a little early so no real damage was done to my car. This battery is not an exact fit though. I had to use it without the plastic battery tray because the positive cable was too short and would not reach with the tray in place. So the battery is installed but there is tension on the + cable and it sits a little crooked in the engine bay.

The battery arrived very promptly with good packaging. The battery is factory sealed, charged, and "ready-to-ride". The dimensions and battery terminals were an exact match with the factory battery making installation easy. The new battery cranked perfectly out the box and started the motorcycle despite being cold and stood for 1 month (lots of cranking). I am keeping the battery topped off with a battery tender, which I hope will keep the battery life as long given long periods of inactivity during winter. After 1 month, the battery remains just as strong on cranking.

This is a perfect addition to my growing iPhone arsenal. The only reason this review is 4 stars and not 5 is because the cord is quite short--it does not reach from a wall outlet to the shelf where my phone lives while it is charging about 4 feet above the outlet. It is about the same length as the cord that came with my iPhone though. So other than having to buy yet another cord, the product is great and does exactly what it says.

Allstar Performance ALL76139 Battery Charger Post, (Pack of 2)

I CHOSE THIS BRAND OF BATTERY CHARGING POSTS BACAUSE OF THE CLAIMED ROBUST DESIGN. WELL I WASENT DISAPPOINTED. THEY ARE EXTREMELY WELL DESIGNED AND BUILT. YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM NEEDING REPLACED DUE TO WEARING OUT OR BREAKAGE BECAUSE THEY ARE OF LATHE TURNED, SOLID BRASS CONSTRUCTION. THE COLOR CODED CAPS FOR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE ARE A NICE FEATURE AND HAVE A STRIP ATTACHED TO PREVENT LOSS. I HAVE MOUNTED THESE TO MY '33 FORD COUPE TO FACILITATE REMOTE CHARGING. THEY ARE VERY CLEAN LOOKING AND FUNCTION AS EXPECTED. I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PRODUCT AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM.

I took a car battery, put it in a plastic box and put it up on a high shelf. Then I ran some 4 gauge cables to these posts which are mounted below. I have trickle charger leads attached to the back for charging the back. With this battery I can jump start either of our cars easily. I like that the rubber caps snap on securely, giving me peace of mind about placing them in a convenient location.

Buy Allstar Performance ALL76139 Battery Charger Post, (Pack of 2) Now

If I could give these a '0' rating, I would. First off, the description of these doesn't give the dimensions of the product, only the dimensions of the packaging. I was expecting something a LOT smaller, like a 1/4-20 stud AND 1-1/2" overall height. These have a 3/8-16 stud and nut, with a 3/4" diameter stud on top and an overall height of 3". They're HUGE. You could charge 15 batteries at once and still have amp rating left over.

Secondly, the Black cap wouldn't come off and I had to pry it off with a screwdriver, and the Red cap WON'T STAY ON. That means the positive terminal could inadvertently be exposed. Plus, the through panel threads are 1-1/4", try drilling that hole with a hand drill.

These posts are absolutely worthless. I wasted my money just to throw them away!

Hopkins 46365 Short Proof Power Converter

• Each unit can power up to 2 sets of stop/turn signals
• Has a replaceable 4-wire flat extension
• Short circuit protected
• Can power up to 8.0 amps per output and self-resetting
• Protects tow vehicle electronics and itself from wiring shorts

This is a splice it yourself kit, you have to know which wires to splice into, so you'll need to know your wiring harness. Install was easy for me because I was replacing a burned out converter that was plug and play. The wires on the old converter were marked, so I just wired right up to those. The directions suck (hence 4 stars instead of 5) The hardest part is getting a feed up to the battery, as this has it's own VBATT circuit to prevent burning out your car's lighting circuits. Just takes some time working your way along the floor trim and finding a hole in the firewall. I've had too many problems with shorts on trailers taking out cheapo converters, so I figured it was worth the extra dough. So far, I'm satisfied. Installed on a 2000 Jeep Cherokee.

Buy Hopkins 46365 Short Proof Power Converter Now

Product works as described so far. My only complaint is that the old versions had a connector on the side that you plugged in the trailer extension harness, which was a flat 4-wire cable. This version has no connector on the unit, just a couple feet of 4 individual wires terminating in the 4 pin trailer plug. I understand that it's cheaper to manufacture this way, but it just looks cheesy, and now instead of the nice 4 wire flat cable I have 4 individual wires that I had to wire tie every 4 inches to keep under control exiting the vehicle.

I would happily paid the extra dollar to have the decent cable with a connector on both ends.

This is the unit that you want. I had to replace the trailer adapter that came with our Subaru Forester. The lights on the trailer were acting really strange. It seems that when one of the tail lights burned out it took the electrical adapter with it. The Hopkins 46365 is short proof, was easy to install, and works great. This is the unit that you want to convert separate brake and directional signals to a single bulb system.

Cobra Walkie-Talkie microTalk CXR825 22-Channel Two-Way Radio (Pair)

• 30-mile range, 22 channels, and 142 privacy codes
• 10-channel NOAA radio, hands-free operation (VOX), and VibrAlert silent paging
• 2 lithium-ion battery packs and a two-port desktop mini-charger included
• Maximum range extender and belt clip included for maximum efficiency and carrying ease
• Lead-free packaging

Among the brands of GMRS/FRS radios, Cobra is the only one I've found to use Li-ion batteries. Compared to other rechargeable battery technologies, Li-ion will last longer and weigh less. Cobra has three models in their flagship category: 925, 825, 725. I chose the 825 for a few reasons.

Compared to the 925, this model lacks the voice recorder and has lower battery capacity. Without the voice recorder, if you miss something, I think it's a matter of asking people to repeat their message. Although the 925 battery capacity is higher, the voice recorder increases the power draw, so it may offset and result in similar battery life. The main differences between the 725 is the capability to receive NOAA weather broadcasts; I believe the batteries and the outside form factor are the same.

They advertise different communication ranges (35, 30, 27) in miles. I'm skeptical and wish there were more truth in advertising. However, for casual users, you're probably within 5 miles. These types of GMRS/FRS radios do not work well inside cars unless you have an external antenna. If used properly, they work reasonably well. I've been able to communicate within 10 miles. For the purists, the 925 and 825 have three transmit power levels (5, 2, 0.5 watts) while the 725 has only two (5, 0.5 watts).

So far, I can think of only one drawback I wish Cobra makes a car charger. Their website says you may purchase parts and build your own, just call them for wiring info.

Buy Cobra Walkie-Talkie microTalk CXR825 22-Channel Two-Way Radio (Pair) Now

This is a strange walkie-talkie. First rate engineering with a second rate execution. It even looks a little strange with a cheap clear plastic grill on the front. This walkie-talkie is also one of the smallest on the market.

It is a very straight-forward and easy walkie-talkie to program. Much easier than the Midland, if you don't mind the NOAA blaring in the speakers each time you go through it to get the programming steps you need to change.

It had a strange way of fitting in the recharge base. It just plops in one way and easily wobbles, but it makes contact all the time.

Most of the commonly needed buttons are right on the front, not like others that make you dig through or do some button looping to get what you want. There is even a separate backlight on-button on the side.

The backlight does not evenly cover the LCD like many other comunication devices, but rather it is two lighted LED'S on either side of the display. Cheap, but it works.

The rechargeable batteries is put in a square sealed plastic case and difficult to remove from the walkie-talkie, luckily you shouldn't be doing that often.

The VOX works like all the others. Not very sensitive, but it will work if you learn to talk loud and even practically yell on the least sensitive adjustment. It has 5 adjustments.

Have not tried any accessory with it. But it should work in ordinary use if you just like to hold the Cobra in your hand and talk and recieve. It has all the ability built in to exceed the basics too, should your needs go further than that.

To use the high-range mode everyone knows "buy" now you have to get an FCC license, but in FRS free mode of a few miles or blocks depending on obstacles can be obtained.

I also found out it cannot use most Midland accessories due to different pin configurations.

Bottom Line: If you want a straigh-forward minimal-fuss walkie talkie and just want to start talking this will probably be the one you want.

Read Best Reviews of Cobra Walkie-Talkie microTalk CXR825 22-Channel Two-Way Radio (Pair) Here

They are great! Fifteen of us went on a very large cruise ship and we used them to keep in touch since there was no cell phone service. The security code feature meant that we only heard each other and no one else even if they were on the same channel. They made the cruise much more enjoyable.

Want Cobra Walkie-Talkie microTalk CXR825 22-Channel Two-Way Radio (Pair) Discount?

These radios are fantastic! They are certainly better than the walkie-talkies we had when I was younger. 4 and a half stars, but amazon doesn't let me put in a half star.

First off, the bad: Everyone should know by now the distances claimed are an engineers whimsical notion, not related to reality. That goes for any hand held *consumer* radio. (minus 1/2 star for fibbing)

The reality: I bought 4-pair of these radios for a cruise with the extended family. I tested these localy on LOW power in a heavily populated residential area and they have a half mile range for me. It was crystal clear up until 1/2 mile, then nothing. I switched to a channel that it is legal to use high power on and I had about 1.1 miles or so range, but at any point after the 1/2 mile there was static in the reception even on high power. I never used any of the advanced features like turning off the auto squelch or whatever. Maybe you can get more distance.

The good: I was worried about the amount of people on the cruise and all the metal between these radios. I kept them on one of the high power channels in high power mode. There was never a problem! I think the ship was almost a thousand feet long and it didn't matter how many metal walls/floors/etc there were. My father-in-law was at the very front of the ship and I was in the aft dining room and we were talking like we were side-by-side. We used them on the excursion to Atlantis and we did get seperated, even on different busses headed back to the ship and these kept us in contact the entire time with one brief exception.

I love the lock button. It prevents you from changing channels and whatnot, but you can still use the call button. This was great to prevent grandpa from stuffing it in his pocket and accidentally switching to a different channel. So all he had to know was press the button and talk.

The amazing: The Lithium Ion batteries in these radios are un-real! I charged up all 4 sets of radios before the cruise and we never had to charge them the entire trip! The other 3 families left them on all night every night. Our cruise was a 4 day, 3 night cruise and on high power they worked great. The battery power warning icon isn't even lit yet. If it is a longer cruise than what I had, bring the charger, otherwise just charge at home and don't worry about it. And these Li-Ion batteries should last for years, not like the Nickel based rechargeables the other brands use.

The mediocre: They look a little funny and that "Call" button is increadibly annoying when a 10 year old boy has one of these units... He pressed that button and it makes a phone-call sounding ring and that's fine, but when he presses it fifty times in a row... Oy Vey. That call function is great when you want to get the attention of the person holding the radio. I could hear it when it was rather noisy so we did get good use out of the call feature. Just keep the nephews under control... :)

I never had to use one of those privacy codes. We did have to switch channels twice to get channels nobody was on, but that's no big deal. When we were on a channel that other people were using it was still OK. They didn't have 5 watts of power like these so you could tell when it was someone else. They would have static and the 'roger' tone when they let go of the transmit button was different than the 'roger' tone these units have.

I used the clip to hang the radio from the neck of my shirt. They are quite light, but still heavy enough to be annoying when hung from the neck. Perfectly fine for a pocket/purse. We also clipped them on the beach bags and took them with us. Worked perfectly.

What they lacked: The only thing I saw another radio have that would've been nice was a built in LED flashlight. We ended up not needing it anyway. They do have a light for the screen, but not a 'flashlight'. The Li-Ion truly was the deciding factor on these though and that far and away outweighs the benefits of a built in flashlight.

The end result: This was the BEST purchase we made for the cruise (yes, even better than the alcohol!) It kept us coordinated without spending loads of time looking for each other. There is no cell phone service out in the atlantic, so this is a must. It let us enjoy our excursions without wasting any of the prescious little time we had looking for each other.

They truly made my cruise much more enjoyable and safer. My daughter ran off in the crowd once, I didn't realize she was running to grandpa. Without radios we would've freaked out and been searching frantically (the crowd was thick). We did freaked out, but called on the radio and within seconds we knew she was with grandpa and where grandpa was.

I would recommend these to anybody taking a cruise or traveling. Bar none, these are great.

Video review is here.

As a active amateur radio operator and one who has used professional grade communications equip, these units are quite a bargain at $60 for the pair AND a base charger.

Any serious review has to be done with consideration of price.

My model is the CXR725 Cobra Microtalk.

So far I am VERY impressed with the build quality and audio. The audio is a little tinny sounding, but again; consider price.

Amateur radio Handi-Talkies cost about $300 for one unit.I paid $60 for a pair of the Micro-Talk and the drop in charger!

So anyone posting a negative review is obviously not considering the price.

Concerning range: Forget the advertised claims of 22 miles. Point to point communication is always line of sight with VHF/UHF radios with obstructions, height, weather etc being taken into account. I have verified 3/4 mile solid communication (High power) under average neighborhood use.

If one were on a lake or flat desert, I suppose the range "might" get up to 2 miles.

These radios operate in the UHF spectrum. This is great as it provides greatly reduced interference from man made noise such as power generators, electric motors etc.

*** Of particular interest is the ability to use (CTSS) or (DCS) "Continual Tone Coded Squelch System" or "Digital Coded Squelch."

This technology has been around for years, but until recently not for inexpensive license free handi talkies.

CTCSS and DCS is a inaudible (tone) or (signal) sent from one radio to the other radio. Unless both radios are set to the same CTCSS or DCS code, the two parties can NOT communicate. When the matching code is set in BOTH radios, the radios work normally. This is a wonderful feature when you are attending a event with many people who are also using FRS/GMRS radios. These radios are used by many Non-amateur people since they are license free. NOTE: GMRS requires a no test license from the FCC. I'm not sure how many people really apply for the license, but legally, when operating in the GMRS frequency range, a license "should" be attained.

CTCSS or DCS prevents you from hearing other users of FRS/GMRS radios who might be on the same channel as you. This is great unless you want to eavesdrop on other people. If the other users happen to be using the same CTCSS or DCS code, then you will hear them and they will hear you. There are literally thousands of possible (Channel/CTCSS or DCS) combinations, so the chances of interference are minimal from other parties.

NOTE: CTCSS and DCS operation is not secure or encrypted communication. It only prevents you from hearing others and vice versa. Turning off CTCSS or DCS will allow you to hear anyone using the same channel. (i.e) If the other party is NOT using CTCSS or DCS and is on the same channel as you, they will hear your conversations. If your radios are matched with the same code using CTCSS or DCS, you won't hear them.

Great feature!

I wish Cobra would have added a earphone jack. I can install one myself easily though the average user probably won't. In a high noise environment it is nice to have an ear bud in place rather than straining to hear from a anemic speaker.

I've not yet attempted to exhaust the battery. Battery life is dependent on several factors. Power setting, talk time and battery technology. These radios use Lithium Ion Technology which is great if designed properly; so I anticipate good battery life between charges. The manual indicates a completely discharged battery should receive a 15 hr charge. A 4 hr charge would be preferred, but for 60 bucks I would not expect a rapid charger.

BUILD QUALITY: Hey. They cost 60 bucks! If you want Mil Spec you will have to look elsewhere. They are not bad in build quality. I doubt I'd use them if my life depended on it as they are not waterproof and probably would not survive a fall to a hard surface.

I will be thrilled if they last me 3 years. I can see some components failing after a period of time such as the PTT switch; maybe some rocker switches...only time will tell.

PROS: Price...Work well ...Solid Communication...CTCSS/DCS capability...FM UHF reliability...battery life

CONS: Programming can be a little daunting to non radio users...No ear phone jack

For average light daily use, hiking, camping etc..I see no better products out there for the money.

I bought this set for my daughter to use with my old iPhone 3 but when we plugged it up to her phone it wouldn't charge it. If we took it apart and used a different block with the green cord it would charge but the green block would not charge her phone. I'm glad I didn't pay more than I did.

It was very cool my kids loved it and stuff and stuff and etc stuff and stuff and stuff lol

The description for this cord said it would work on any model iPhone...but it did not work for my 3GS. It did work for my son's iPhone 4. The description also said that the cord was 4 ft long, but it was not; it was shorter than the Apple cord that comes with the iPhone. I bought a 6 ft KHOMO iPhone charger cord last year that was much better quality and cheaper but I couldn't find that model this time around. I wouldn't buy another Gogo.

Sony Ericsson HCA-60 Installed Handsfree Car Kit Z710i / Z550a / Z525a / Z520a / W950i / W810i / W80

For those of us in our automobiles who like to be able to talk on our cellphones handsfree, through the medium of our car's stereo system, this HCA-60 Kit is terrific. When the Kit is installed (which must be done professionally) in tandem with the Sony Ericsson Stereo Music Mute HCE-26, we can place and receive calls easily: the music to which we are listening shuts off whenever we place or receive a call and it returns when the call is completed. Moreover, for those of us who remain concerned about the safety of Bluetooth technology -some researchers believe that the problem of electromagnetic radiation associated with cellphones is not fully alleviated by Bluetooth -having a hard-wired system like this one is the way to go.

AAA 250 PSI 12 Volt 6 In 1 Air Compressor

• Quick connect air hose
• 250 psi

• 3 nozzle adaptors included

I got the item in mail as promised... I tried testing it and it worked great... But when i tried pulling the cable out of the car it would not come out... the plastic plug broke apart and I had to use screw driver to break rest of the plug to remove it... good air compressor but horrible assembly on the cable... i would not recommend this to anyone!

I thought this was a fairly good product after the first time I used it. Unfortunately a month later when I used it for only the second time, the plug practically crumbled in my hand when I was pulling it out of the power outlet in my car. The plug is now in 5 or 6 pieces and the unit useless because I had to use pliers to get the remaining pieces out of the outlet. I would love to return it, but it's been more than 30 days. I guess you get what you paid for.

I have only used this product once, and have the following comparisons to my previous similar compressor:

* It operates with greater stability and less vibration. The old one would fall over and spin in circles.

* It may inflate tires faster.

* The gage is too small to allow an accurate determination of the pressure, and is not accurate when compared to my digital gage.

* The on/off switch is an improvement over the "on whenever plugged in" mode.

* The cable-storage compartment is not too convenient.

* The tire-inflating fitting has a tendency to hang up on the valve, allowing air to leak while disconnecting.

Overall, the product is good and serves its purpose, but it's not great.

i thought purchasing and using this compressor would speed up the process of filling up bikes, car tires, inflateable things etc...

boy was i wrong!!

it works so slow that i thought at first it is broken and does not work at all.

only after i left for a few minutes i saw the needle move, but barely ...

to give you an idea:

my tire pressure was at 20 and it took this compressor almost 20(!) minutes to get it up to 30. with my handpump i can do that in about 2 min.

this product is so bad, i actually will go back to my hand pump!!!

shame on AAA for selling this!

I used it the first time yesterday. The plug literally came apart INSIDE my 12V outlet. I had to use a pair of pliers to remove pieces of it. But there's a good chunk of it still lodged inside my 12V outlet that I can't get out. Now I can't plug my nav system in, this piece of junk is broken, and I'm probably going to have to spend $100 dollars to have the mechanic dislodge the bit of plastic and repair my outlet. I would, at the least, like my money back but I purchased it more than thirty days ago.

after installing the unit worked fine , but the front cover tabs were broken from poor packaging. Used my old front cover.

This was exactly what we needed to replace the converter in our 2006 Jag travel trailer.

Installation was easy for my husband who is very handy with things like this. If you are not knowledgeable about this you may need a little help because there are no instructions . You can find them on the net or get a handy friend to help.

A really good price , over $100 cheaper than parts dealers plus free ship & $350 cheaper than having the dealerships & repair services . Got it when promised too.
