Customer Review :
Good stuff for the price you pay
Product is dirt cheap and does what it is supposed to do. What else you want!
Update Mar 29, 2010: The wire terminals keep on snapping from inside. I tried re-soldering, but its a pain. I am taking out one star for less robust construction. But I guess when you buy products so cheap, you can not really expect much out of them.
Rating :   
Great!
I bought this to use as extension for a little car fan I bought (placed in the rear of the vehicle). It works great, no problems. Definitely gets the job done.
Rating :     
Exactly what I needed
I needed an extension to hide the charger wire for my Garmin GPS. This got the job done perfectly.

Great tach
It made tuning up my truck a breeze. It is really easy to use, and the reading doesn't jump around to much. Great product.
Rating :     
An easy-to-use tach for tuning nearly any internal combustion engine
This inexpensive digital inductive tachometer makes setting the idle on most engines very easy. I got it to tune up my lawn mower engines, since I can't judge by ear when they are idling at the prescribed 1750 rpm. It worked fine and both mowers -- 12 hp and 14 hp Briggs and Stratton engines -- start, idle and run much better now. Note that the reading on the tach jumps around a bit on simple engines like these, say from 1725 to 1800 or so, but that's OK. Just get the idle in the ball park, set the idle mixture needle valve per the manufacturer's instructions, re-adjust the idle if needed and you're good to go. If the engine idles smoothly and accelerates cleanly to it maximum operating speed, it's almost certainly running fine. The ESI328 is a really handy tool, one that I wish I had discovered a long time ago. Highly recommended.

Question : Electricians: Wired for the future! Please help!!!?
WASHINGTON, D.C. (Achieve3000, August 23, 2009). Years ago, when I was in my middle school science class, my teacher assigned a project to create an electrical circuit. Our tools were a battery, a length of wire, and a light bulb. When the light bulb on my desk lit up, so did one in my brain: I knew then that I wanted to learn more about electricity and its power to make things work. That's why I embarked on a career as an electrician. Recently, I returned to my old school to give a talk about what it's like to work as an electrician. Here is what I told the students: Job Duties An electrician helps to bring electricity into buildings and other structures by installing and maintaining the wiring, fuses, and other components through which electricity flows. Electricians generally specialize in either construction or maintenance work, though many do both. Some electricians also work in telecommunications, which includes wiring phone, computer, and video systems. Electricians who specialize in construction install wiring systems into new factories, businesses, and homes. Some focus solely on residential work, doing a wide variety of electrical work for homeowners. For example, they might rewire a home to accommodate additional appliances, or they might install new lighting and other electric household amenities. Maintenance electricians are responsible for fixing and upgrading existing electrical systems. They make any necessary repairs and periodically inspect equipment. This ensures the equipment is operating properly and helps prevent future breakdowns. Education and Training Most electricians learn their trade through an apprenticeship program that combines paid on-the-job training with classroom instruction. Applicants to these programs must be at least 18 years old and have a high school diploma or a General Equivalency Diploma (GED). Some people start their classroom training at a vocational-technical school or training academy prior to seeking an apprenticeship. Employers often hire students who complete these programs. These students usually start at a more advanced level of apprenticeship than those without this training. Apprenticeships typically last for four years. Candidates are required to complete at least 144 hours of classroom instruction and 2,000 hours of on-the-job training each year. While in the classroom, apprentices learn electrical theory, blueprint reading, electrical code requirements, and safety and first aid practices. At the worksite, apprentices are supervised by experienced electricians. They begin their training by performing tasks such as drilling holes and attaching wires. As the training progresses, however, apprentices learn how to install and design diagrams for entire electrical systems. After completing the apprenticeship program, an electrician must acquire a state license. Licensing requirements vary by state, but they normally include an examination that tests knowledge of electrical theory, the National Electrical Code, and local electric and building codes. Recommended Skills It is imperative that electricians have excellent manual dexterity and eye-hand coordination, as they are required to work with a variety of tools while on the job. The work can be strenuous at times and may include bending, lifting heavy objects, standing, and kneeling for long periods. Therefore, electricians should be physically fit and possess a good sense of balance. Excellent color vision is also necessary because workers frequently need to identify electrical wires by color. Electricians must also be literate and have strong math skills, along with general science knowledge. Work Environment Electrical work is performed at both indoor and outdoor venues. Electricians who work outside may be subject to harsh weather conditions. In addition, the job can be dangerous; some workers sustain injury from electrical shock, falls, and cuts. Therefore, electricians must adhere to strict safety procedures to avoid injuries at work sites. Hours and Compensation Most electricians work a standard 40-hour week, although overtime may be required. Those who do maintenance work may work nights or weekends or be on-call when needed. As of the latest survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median hourly wage for electricians was $20.97. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $12.76, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $34.95. Apprentices usually start at between 40 and 50 percent of the rate paid to fully trained electricians, depending on experience. Job Outlook Although employment of electricians changes with the economy, job opportunities are expected to increase by 2016. As the population grows, more electricians will be needed to install and maintain new and existing electrical systems. Job prospects will be especially strong for workers who can wire computer systems and telecommunications equipment. Dicti

Question : Is there any way to test my tranny computer without a scan tool?
I have a 1987 Toyota pickup and i am regestering 2 shorts in my electrical system,I have disconnected everything electrical on my truck,and i mean everything,when i plug my engine computer in it regesters a minor short and when i plug my tranny comp. in it regesters as a direct short.can anyone help.
Answer:
The only thing to do would be to get a repair manual that shows the wiring diagram for your trucks transmission circuits, then find which wires are positive power. If a repair manual cannot be found, you may be able to just test the plug pins for power using a test light or volt meter, just make sure your fuses are all good. Test the receptacle pins of the transmission where the positive power would go (once plugged in) to find which one grounds out (there is probably more than one). Then look in the manual (or follow the wire) to find out what that pin leads to, that should take you to your problem.

Question : What tools do you need to play PS2 or any other system like that in the car on a DVD player?
I have always wanted to know this. I've seen many people say they've done it before, but I've always failed because there is no electrical outlet in the car. What do I need? Do I need portable electricity or something like that? And if you know how, please tell me if it's sold in Wal-Mart or online.
Answer:
Get a power inverter or wire it up straight to the battery. The power inverter is easy and can be found for less than 40 bucks for a cheap one at most places. All it does is plug into a cigarette lighter jack and provide an outlet like you would find in your house.
