Review on πŸš— High-performance 12V Car Cigarette Lighter Power Adapter - 24V Male Plug with Leads, Auto Accessories with LED Lights and 15A Fuse by Trey Ali

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Brought my old 12 volt compressor back to life

I have a very nice 12 volt automotive compressor with a tire pressure gauge that can be built in or used on its own. The thing worked great but the cigarette lighter part seemed cheaply made and fell apart when the fuse in my minivan blew. Since it is a powerful compressor, most additional adapters had cables that were too thin and cheap. This one has thick, high capacitance wires, so I was able to cut the old one off, solder this on, and cover any exposed wires with heat shrink tubing. Ready! Now it works almost like new, and the only reason I say "almost" is because the solder joints required are quite thick and rigid, the cable doesn't wrap around the compressor storage compartment as easily as it did before . Well still a quality product if you need to run something from 12V DC.

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • Low repairability
