 Needed to replace fuse, OK after that. Sep 14, 2009
By B. Grunewald
I used this to repair an air compressor. I originally bought a replacement plug from a local auto parts, and it got melted by the current draw.
When I first used this plug, it acted "dead" because the fuse blew instantly. I think the provided fuse was only 1 or 2 amps, which is not nearly enough for an air compressor. I bought some 20 amp fuses locally, and it has been working fine for a few months now.
I was a little concerned because the wire pigtail was slightly lighter gauge than the compressor cord, but is has not been an issue thus far. The green LED indicator is nice because you can tell if the socket has power.
A good deal for the money, but it should come with a heavier fuse to match it's current handling capability.

Great plug! Needs longer leads. Nov 13, 2010
By JD
This plug is great. It's built well and is fairly heavy in construction. When operating there is no "wiggle" in the 12volt outlet. My only complaint is that the leads could be another two inches longer allowing for repeated soldered installation and removal and reinstallation on many projects. I would buy this again though!

Just what I needed Sep 04, 2010
By Skeleton
I'm using this in conjunction with a RoadPro RPSL-7000 AC to DC 6 Amp Power Converter that I bought on Amazon to power a car stereo amplifier from a wall outlet. I crimped the power and ground leads from the amp to the leads on this item and everything worked fine. Note that there is a fuse installed in this item that is probably only rated at 2 or 3 amps, so if you need to draw more current through it, like I do, then you will need to replace the fuse with a higher amperage fuse, but that's readily available at Home Depot and plently of other places. So far, no problems.

 Best 12v car adaptor ever!!!!!!!! Oct 05, 2011
By Joe West
Ok..first thing..read the instruction manual when you get this..it's a 2 amp fuse cig plug only good for your ipods or mp3 players..now if your gonna use it to power up a compressor, install led lights or power up dvd players, etc..go to home depot buy a 15 amp fuse (automotive/ marine fuse only) and change the 2 amp fuse....coz if yu dont the fuse will blow right away..and your gonna start thinkng the product is useless like some people here..lol..to change just unscrew the tip or header of the plug..insert the new fuse...now you can run whatever you want..this is great for the led light project that i did..save me from routing wires to the battery or tapping on my cars electronic fuses. This is a good product if you know what you are doing or buying.

fused 12V auto plug Aug 04, 2010
By D. Walters
"Florida Boy"
This has saved me several times -- much easier to replace the fuse in this than in the truck -- so when I do dumb things and overload it the fuse in the plug blows and not the truck. I like it.
