Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2UUGQINTV4J6S Hi. I thought a video of this interesting 12 volt splitter was the only way to review the product. I hope it helps you with your shopping.

 Simple Splitter Simply Works. Jul 20, 2010
By Gourd
This isn't a very complicated device so this review will be brief.
It effectively splits a 12v connection into two functional ones, each with a nice handy cap on it. Don't underestimate the usefulness of those two caps, as a stray bit of metal or anything conductive could blow the fuse on this.
Having mentioned the fuse, let me point out that not all splitters are manufactured with a fuse built into them. Without a fuse on the splitter itself a stray bit of metal or conductive material will cause the fuse in your car's electrical box to blow. This adds a little extra security as likely the fuse on the splitter is of a lower rating than that in your electrical box: so it blows first.
An earlier review mentioned electrical interference which made me wary about this product at first. However upon examination, I'm not exactly clear where such interference could be coming from. The splitter is incredibly simple with no real electrical processing being done to the power going through it. It's a fuse gated adapter with two connectors on it. As I have a zune controller and in line adapter running off one of the connectors on this, I was afraid that I would experience some hum or something similar to that mentioned in an earlier review. No issues here.
The wiring doesn't seem to be of high quality, but since I paid so little for it and don't plan on using it for heavy duty applications, that isn't something I will deduct for. The wiring is adequate and likely will not break unless I pull hard on it or abuse it.

Very nice item, handy and safe. It is fused and saves digging under the dash for auto fuses when you overload it -- and ends cover to prevent shorts and keep dust out when not in use. I love it and good value for money.

 Defectve Jul 31, 2011
By jayne williams
Purchased this particular item based on the ratings of others. When received found that the part that goes into the lighter was to long and would not stay put. Every time you tried to insert, it popped out and rendered it useless. If you wanted to manually hold it in place it did work, but...... Returned for refund because through Amazon's processes in dealing with refunds it was the easier of the options. Hope this has helped. As a result, still looking for a good device. Any suggestions?

Power to the People (who use more than one gadget) Nov 09, 2011
By Redox
I wanted to power both my GPS & iPod so I tried this. It was inexpensive and it worked fine. I had no interference problems that some have mentioned. Be aware that the end caps should be used, particularly if kids are in the car. There are some differences among the various auto manufacturers regarding cigarette lighters, so you'll just have to see how it fits in your car. If you're careful to pull on the plastic plug to disconnect, rather than the wires, I don't see why it shouldn't last a long time.
