Everything you need for installation is included, USB switch saves battery life, a little hassle with unplugging.

A good set of two USB sockets. The package contains more than what you usually get. You also get two sets of two spade crimp connectors, two sets of fusible wires with ring connectors and flat connectors. As an added bonus, you also get a hole saw to install them. If you don't have a hole saw, you'll have to spend an additional $10-$12 to buy one. I like the extra features that make this kit complete. I also like the USB-C PD port. This is used on more modern devices. Because it's a PD (Power Distribution) USB-C, it can be used to power larger devices. You also get a standard USB port. To test it I used a hole saw to drill through a piece of 3/8" plywood. It was sharp and cut a clean hole. I connected the included wires to the USB with the female flat ends. I then pulled tighten the nut to secure the USB. I had a 12 volt car battery on my bench so I attached ring terminals to it. I like the fact that USB has to be activated from the front of the USB. There is a plunger switch for that. This saves battery if you don't need a voltmeter. You can also turn it on or off when the lid is closed. Please note that the LED looks a little blurry in the photos. This is due to the sensor of my digital camera. To the human eye they appear crisp and clear.Once installed and connected I plugged one of my radios into it and it charged it with no problem.I placed the stem in a vise and used an awl to tighten the edge en until he jumped out. This took about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, the hole saw doesn't have slots to push the connector out with. However, I am not complaining. A hole saw is not usually included in the kit. All in all this is a great set. I couldn't find anything I didn't like other than a small issue removing the plug from the hole saw. I highly recommend it.
