These appear to be quality units. They allow a convenient method of passing heavy cables through the firewall, or any panel. The one issue I have is the lack of availability of a properly shaped panel punch. I have cut the flat sided mounting holes the old fashioned way with hand tools which is time intensive and only approximate in shape. I have yet to locate the right punch for this job.All in all, these provide a good way to pass heavy electrical (battery) cables through the firewall, or any panel. I would purchase again.

Worked great! Very satisfied!I ordered this product about 2 months ago, and finally decided to review it. To sum it up, it sucked. After about 3 or 4 days it broke in such a way that you had to hold the button on it for it to charge otherwise it would go off. The reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1 is because in the brief amount of time when it worked, it worked well. I don't know if I just got a bad one or if this occurrence is part of the product, but I do not suggest getting this one. Save your money, find one that has no history of malfunction or one that has received great reviews (if possible, both).
Schumacher PSJ-1812 DSR ProSeries 1800 Peak Amps Jump Starter and Portable Power Unit
- 1800 peak amperes, 280 cranking ampere and 225 cold cranking amperes
- 18 Ah professional grade, high output AGM battery
- 12 Volt DC power outlet
- Built in automatic charger
- LED indicators for charging, charged and battery status
The first day I used it I jumped a Mercedes SUV 3 times and the battery indicator still indicated above 75%. And it had no trouble boosting the large V6 engine. In fact it still has 75% power after using it to jump 5 other cars.
Its lightweight and thin and seems well built. I'm glad I bought this booster and the price was right given the cold cranking amps.
Buy Schumacher PSJ-1812 DSR ProSeries 1800 Peak Amps Jump Starter and Portable Power Unit Now
I have owned 2 other jump starters over the years, but I've always had the problem of leaving them plugged only to have ruined them because of overcharging, so I have some experience using these kinds of units. I bought this unit almost a year ago and it has worked flawlessly! I charged it up when it arrived and didn't use it until maybe a month or so later when my Honda Odyssey's battery was dead (kids left the cabin lights on). It started the van right up no problems. Since then I have used it probably every couple months for myself or friends. One week we went camping with a few other families and the kids once again left the lights on in their respective vans. This thing started 3 vans right in a row without recharging. I say that is quality!This jumper is all business. No useless features like a light, compressor or radio. Heavy and well built. Better than any big box store units including Craftsman. Cables are just the right length and very heavy gauge. Starts dead 4 cylinder cars with no effort. Also jumped a Silverado 6 cylinder. Once again no problem. I will also use this to power up my 12 volt Ham handheld radio when we lose power in this area. You will need to purchase a short extension cord to charge this. Every household has one of these. The best feature of this is that you can leave it plugged in to keep fully charged. If you buy A Jump-N-Carry and leave it plugged in you will fry your jumpers battery. I highly recommend this unit.Want Schumacher PSJ-1812 DSR ProSeries 1800 Peak Amps Jump Starter and Portable Power Unit Discount?
I've owned 2 others the same size, and this is the most powerful.By Coincidence, It arrived last night, and my kid had left the car lights on all night, so my battery was completely dead today, (no interior lights or sounds, clock reset....). This Jump-Start-Battery had only charged 12 hours (not the 36 hours the stickers on the box say you need to charge before first use). 30 seconds after connecting to my dead battery, my car started in less than a second of cranking. I have a 6 cylinder 330CC motor (I haven't yet tried this on the 8 Cyl 430CC motor I bought it for, but I'd suspect with a full charge it would work great on that car too).
The Battery Cables to the clamps are Thick (this is good), the battery clamps are protected by plastic (no exposed metal to short out while stored in the trunk, which is important since this unit doesn't have a switch to disconnect Voltage to them while in storage). There is a 12V (Cigarette lighter) receptacle, Which can be used to plug in a 12V light, (This unit doesn't have a light built in, which isn't too bad, since my previous jump-starters w/ lamps built-in occasionally died when the light switch was bumped and left on by things thrown in the trunk with them). 12V receptacle is also handy for powering a 120V AC inverter, or charging Cell Phones during power outages in my home.
The Built in Charger will not overcharge the battery if left connected (some other units lack this feature).
One item I wished were included however is a power cord, this did Not have a cord to connect the unit to the wall, I purchased (and am happy with)
C2G/Cables to Go 03115 18 AWG Outlet Saver Power Extension Cord (NEMA 5-15R to NEMA 5-15P), Black (6 feet/1.82 Meters)
You might want a longer or shorter cord. A cheaper thinner gauge cord would also be sufficient for the charging.
I'm very pleased with this compact powerful Jump-starter, and I'm ordering another one today to give as a gift.

Bought this after buddy recommended the brand; ashe's had similar about 10 yrs; now on his 3rd battery
replacement. Charged it 3 days as per sticker
and first use was on a Waverunner with a dead
battery that had not run in several months. It
cranked over fine but did not start. Waited
a couple minutes and cranked again and it started.
I checked the battery status of the jump pack and
it was still green.

The one feature I really, really like about this camera is being able to turn the audio off. This makes it easy for the people riding with me to accept I have a camera in the car without them getting paranoid about our conversations being recorded. I also like being able to set the loop minutes, right now I have it set to 5 minutes which is plenty. I tried 11 minutes and I felt it was too long especially if I wanted to find a specific point on the video.
There was some quirky stuff that happened with it but that was at the beginning and they haven't happened since so I am going to chalk those up to growing pains.
I followed the directions about charging the battery for 12 hrs prior to use and letting it completely drain before recharging for the first 3 charges but the battery really can't hold a charge past 45 minutes. I just plug it into the lighter port anyways so losing power in the middle of a car ride doesn't happen. Another quirk I encountered was if I took the battery completely out of the camera unit and put it back in once or twice a day the camera started acting funny like not recording or turning on. I got the camera to work again by pulling the SD card out and putting it back in. So, I no longer take the battery out and I haven't had any problems since.
I am uploading a video with this review I've uploaded a video of the night vision on youtube search for Barrudaki it's on my channel under reviews. For the price it is a good camera, if you can live with the occasional quirk and try pulling the SD card when it does act up you can be happy with this camera. Not sure how to judge the night vision. I would say it is ok. If you encounter an issue try pulling the SD card out and reinserting it.
It records in .avi format which is good,it is compatible with other editing software I have.
**Update***
Not sure what is going on but looks like the seller changed the description of the dash cam. Not sure if they are selling the same model I have so just a heads up quality may defer.

Milwaukee 0880-20 18 Volt Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum,
This vacuum works great. I find that it works well even as the batteries are going down. It does eat batteries pretty quickly but I'm able to get everything done I need. I also vacuum more often now that I have it. One thing to keep in mind is that is does not come with batteries. It really only makes sense to buy it if you are already invested in Milwaukee tools.
One saving grace is that if you don't anticipate using the vacuum very long at any given time, the batteries do have a short recharge time, so one battery might be sufficient.
Buy Milwaukee 0880-20 18 Volt Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum, Now
This is definitely the Milwaukee Tool quality that I have come to respect. It has plenty of pick-up power and best of all it works with my 18V Compact Li-ion batteries that came with my drill (It also works on 18V Ni-Cad batteries as well). The battery bay has two different mounts that allow the use of either style Milwaukee 18V battery (however, only one battery can be used at any given time). It has a float inside the pick-up chamber that turns it off if too much water comes in. The hose and cabinet are made from heavy duty material making it great for rugged use. It comes with two small wands one of which is for cracks and crevices and the other for general pick up. These are kept nicely tucked away under the lid in their perspective storage areas. The only thing I wish they would have added is a small brush attachment but that is a minor thing. My wife has already snagged it to use on the carpeted steps because of how easy it is to use. Very pleased indeed!Read Best Reviews of Milwaukee 0880-20 18 Volt Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum, Here
Since I already own several Milwaukee 18V cordless tools and 2 batteries, this was a fantastic addition. For small jobs, this thing can't be beat. Lightweight, sturdy, extremely portable, great suction, good attachments. For jobs like vacuuming the car, picking up sawdust or drywall, and other small projects around the house, this is the first vacuum I go to. It's very well made, and I'm actually really impressed with the hose on it really high quality and it stretches to probably 5 feet or so, but re-coils nicely. Much better quality than any typical wet/dry vac hose. And since it's a standard 1 1/4 hose, you can add a variety of additional attachments. Plus, you can use it as a blower too.I have no idea what the continuous run-time is, I haven't used it for more than about 5 minutes straight. But, on a single V18 battery, I can use it intermittently for several weeks (1-2 minutes at a time every 3rd or 4th day) before I need to recharge the battery. This vacuum is compatible with all 4 versions of Milwaukee 18V batteries (V18, M18, M18 compact, and NiCad).
3 limitations: 1.) It's cordless, so don't expect to run it for a half hour straight and vacuum your entire house. 2.) To make it so portable, the storage for the attachments is small. It will only hold the 2 attachments it comes with, so if you add anything else (like a brush tool), you'll need to store them separately. 3.) It's got a special lock-in hose, so you can't take any 1 1/4" shop-vac hose and plug that in.
For what it's worth, my wife rolled her eyes when she saw this show up (thought I was just buying another toy). But she had to admit that she loves this thing now too. Keeps it in the hall closet and it's the first thing she grabs to vacuum up the cat litter off the floor.
If you have the batteries already, it's a great addition. But if you're just looking for a portable vacuum, this is probably close to a $150 investment by the time you're done (just look at the "frequently bought together" section of this page).
Want Milwaukee 0880-20 18 Volt Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum, Discount?
Can vacuum a whole car on one charge. It's very convenient when you don't feel like going for a power cord. The product was too costly when it came out, now it's priced more fair. It's a bit loud, however that is because it is powerful, so, i'm completely happy with the product.Save 31% Off
Moultrie 6-Volt Solar Panel
I have several deer feeders I've been using for over 10 years and have tried many different battery chargers as I run the feeders year round. I find these Moultree chargers to be the best. Easy to mount on the leg of the feeder and they last for several years. Only complaint: the electric line is NOT shielded and squirrels eat through it after a few months or so. I always need to go back and encase the electric lines in a metal sheath that I get at Lowes or Home Depot. Also, the batteries usually die after a year or two before the solar charger fails. Also remember to clean the solar charger every few months to keep it operating at peak efficiency. Keeep the charger aimed at the best afternoon sun also. It should get at least 2-3 hours of sunlight a day. More is better, but I find it only needs 2-3 hours a day to keep the batteries fully charged. I also use a 7ah 6-volt battery instead of the standard 4.5ah 6-volt battery as it defiantely lasts longer.

Easy to setup, good instructions. The lights help you see what is going on (battery status, charging...) and diagnosing wiring issues is easy.The included battery was already charged and the box is easy to mount on the trailer. Overall a great solution, you won't need anything else to setup a breakaway system on your trailer.I thought I was a big fan of these, but I am learning that after they have been on the trailer for more than a year or two, they get ruined by what I assume is sun/ultraviolet damage. The plastic film that covers the test button and the indicator-lights cracks and breaks which in turn lets the water into the unit. This has happened on both of my trailers recently, and the damage is identical. This is not caused by abuse because there is no reason to be touching the covering on the indicator lights. This would be a nice product, but it clearly has a relatively short lifespan.

Samsung?Rugby II A847 Combo Rapid Car Charger + Home Wall Charger + USB Data...
I recently got my mom the Samsung Rugby II with AT&T. I got this charger set for her for Christmas and she is thrilled to have the extra chargers around. They are a great price, and she says they charge the phone just fine. Maybe they won't last as long as the OEM charger because of how cheap they are(who knows), but they are working just fine now. It will be especially nice to use the USB data cable to get some decent ringtones and backgrounds onto her phone. The Rugby II comes without much, so the data cable will be very helpful in sprucing it up. Very happy with the purchase.

It may bave been a little better quality, who knows... it's was made in China too, and $2.00 for a wall charger, car charger and UBS cable was just about what I figure any trio of products made in China is worth; including an HP computer, an iPhone and a Hugo Boss shirt.
So... a great deal, and fairly priced.

SCHUMACHER PSC-12500A
I bought NAPAs version of this same charger to charge my travel trailer batteries while boondocking.This charger has a 40 amp charge rate so that I have a chance to bring my batteries back up while running my generator. The first thing I did when I got it was put on a dead deep cycle battery and the desulfator mode brought the battery back to life in just several hours. This alone saved me almost the price of the charger. I highly recommend this unit.

CrazyOnDigital In Car Holder Mount Cradle for AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III
PROSWell made (okay, it's not titanium but it probably won't break unless you're a klutz)
Tilting arm locks at any angle (little teeth in the rotating hinge prevent the phone flopping down even if the tightening knob loosens due to vibration, which it will when new; I may install a rubber washer to keep it snug)
The mounting plate sits on a rotating ball joint that lets you aim the phone at any angle; doesn't move once you snug it up
The phone is held at two corners plus one tab in the middle of the opposite side; it looks minimal but that suits the aesthetic of the S3 and it doesn't interfere with the screen or controls; the supports fit perfectly and the hold is VERY snug; your S3 will not fall out unless you get run over by a tank
I draped my recharger cord over the arm and it stays put whether plugged in or not, always right there if I want it
Well priced, does the job well for less than some other dash docks
Designer dull gray matches my car's dashboard ;-)
CONS
-No glue-on plate (some installations don't have a flat, texture-free surface where the owner wants to mount the phone; my dash has a pebbly texture so I use a round glue-on plate with a smooth surface that helps the suction cup hold better; this suction cup fits the plate I mounted for my old Moto Droid so no issue for me but it might be for some)
Cheap packaging, just a flimsy box inside an unpadded envelope; things came apart during shipment so the semi-mangled box had only half the parts inside, the rest were rattling about the envelope and could have been damaged or lost (1 star deducted for this)
SUMMARY
Just what I wanted, recommended for S3 users on the go but buy from a reliable source in case the cheap packaging results in getting only half what you ordered.
1) There is very similar holder on "DealExtreme" website for $5.40 + free shipment from China (need to wait 4 to 6 weeks for delivery though), so if you can wait go and buy there.
2) Phone wouldn't fit the holder if there is any cover on it it's huge disadvantage for me, due to I have the case on my S3 and now I need to do something to make my S3 fit the holder.This stand was great. Hung up on my windshield for a week and was working great until the plastic broke on the plate that holds it in. I wouldn't recommend getting this since it broke after a week of use.This fits perfectly my Samsung galaxy S3 and I could mount on the windshield easily. The only issue is that it fits so perfect that I have to remove the cover.

I use this spotlight as a volunteer for the red cross disaster action team. The throw on the spotlight allows us to light up addresses from the van. The throw also allows us to see streetlights far enough in advance. There isn't much lighting in Detroit streets, so this light comes in handy finding houses. Especially after a house fire, there is usually no lights in the house. This allows us to do an assessment on the house with no problems!

Originally I was going to use this in the car. However, I find I use it more at work and home with other FM radios and receivers. I have had not problems with static (other local station) and I do live in a large metropolitan area (Washington DC). I believe that the static issue a reviewer mentions is more of a receiver issue than the FM Transmitter.The sound quality is not CD quality, but FM usually isn't. Overall I think its a great little product that actually looks like it belongs to the iPod and works in a car, home, office, hotel, etc.

I have used the iTrip for the past couple of years and while it works great in areas where the selected frequency is clear, it is virtually impossible to change the frequency on the fly when I drive into an area where there is interference... particularly if traffic is thick. The Airplay can be adjusted without interrupting play (as others can) but it also has 3 station presets which I have matched to 3 station presets on my car radio. When I encounter interference (such as when passing through cities on the interstate), I switch between the presets until I find a clear frequency. Why not a 5? The buttons feel cheap... if they hold up over time, it will be a 5.Want XtremeMac Airplay Boost FM Transmitter for iPod nano 2G (Silver) Discount?
I was very disappointed with this new model. Despite its cool specifications, including displaying the broadcast frequency on the nano screen, it didn't perform as well as the older model (designed for 1st-gen iPod nano). The signal was weak, there was a lot of static. Adjusting the broadcast antenna, and moving the unit around to different locations inside the car didn't help. The older model (which I still have, and which does work with the 2nd-gen nano) performs much better. By the way, both my cars (Honda Accord and Pilot) have their radio antennas embedded in the rear/rear-side windows which should help in-car reception with this type of product. It didn't help with the Airplay Boost (2nd-gen).Performance inside my house (through various FM receivers) was similarly disappointing.
I returned the Airplay Boost for a refund (minus the restocking fee). In its place I bought the Griffin iTrip for Nano 2G which is awesome and far exceeds my expectations for about the same price.
