I'm in my car quite a bit. I own a Droid Incredible and also an iPod touch. I was sitting at home a few days ago (probably months or years ago depending on when you read this) and thought came over me,"Why can't I charge both of these with my car charger?" Well, at the end of the day, I threw down my 8 bucks for this little thing. And it was worth it. With the help of the Scosche sleekSYNC Retractable USB 2.0 cable for iPod and iPhone (Black) I can successfully charge my phone and iPod while making phone calls and listening to music.

Now since it's only $8 (from $30!), it's going to get some heat. I question this little guy's power whether I have either or both plugged up for an extended time. It doesn't necessarily charge your phone only it keeps it from losing battery life, if that makes sense. I left my apartment one day with half my battery, drove 6 hours, unplugged, and it still wasn't fully charged. Same thing with the iPod. Doesn't die. Charges VERRRRY slowly. The second thing is the retractable cord. It's an awesome feature and a major selling point of this piece of equipment. You simply pull the cord, plug in your phone and push the button on top to retract when you're done. If you buy this, I caution you to be careful with that button! The cord retracts in 0.000000001 seconds (exaggeration mine) and it will give your hand a love tap or a surprise welt, whatever you call it.. Here's a simple solution: HOLD THE PLUG with your FREE hand to provide resistance. This will prevent you from hurting yourself and then blaming the cord. I hope you found this helpful...

I like this charger because of the retractable feature, unfortunately the wire is incredibly thin as a result and is probably why the output is only 600 mA. When I'm running Google Navigation on my Galaxy Nexus, it actually drains the battery faster than this charger can charge it. For general use, it is great, but I typically use my smartphone in the car for navigation and so I ended up purchasing a more powerful Motorola charger for this purpose.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT! I bought this for my husband because he drives a lot for work and the rating seemed good enough, but this product sucks. Right away he had issues with the cord not rolling back up completely or getting stuck. Usually he could play with it a little and it would fix itself, but not even three weeks after buying it, it got stuck in the fully out position and he couldn't get it to roll back in. I contacted the seller and their return policy is only 7 DAYS!! 7! I wouldn't even be able to receive the product and ship it back in that short time span.

They were completely unwilling to assisting me with either a refund or a new charger, relying on their 7 day return policy as their excuse. OBVIOUSLY, this company expects their products to break after 7 days or they'd have a longer return policy and they'd be more willing to assist their customers. But then again, they obviously don't care about their customers.

If that wasn't bad enough, now the charger has gotten finicky and won't even charge his phone in the fully out position. Its a piece of crap, do not buy.

Honest reviews on Naztech Reactor Retractable Micro USB Charger with USB Charging

I bought this charger for two reasons, I liked that the cord retracted (no more tangles, or getting caught on stuff) and it has a USB connector, so I can charge my Phone and my MP3 Player at the same time, or my wife can charge her phone at the same time using her USB cable. The rewind spring is taught, it reels in very quickly. I would recommend this charger to anyone.

Use this on my Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S). Charges fine, strong cord retraction. Haven't used the second USB charging port yet, but sure it might come in handy in the future.

Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor Review

List Price: $44.95

This is an excellent 12 Volt compressor for light to medium duty inflation jobs. It's small and packs neatly inside the included bag. I keep mine in the trunk for roadside emergencies or even just the occasional pressure adjustment. It also makes light work of inflating bicycle and lawn equipment tires.

I also own a Craftsman, Campbell Hausfeld, & a Superflow HV35 from Q Industries(see the review). I have tested all the units on time to inflate a 215-70R14 from zero to 32lbs. In terms of speed to inflate the Viair 70p and Superflow HV35 blow away the lesser units from Craftsman and C.H.

It takes 15+ minutes to inflate with either of the lesser models. The 70p can handle the task in around 4.5 minutes where the HV35 was closer to 4 minutes flat. In addition to the speed advantages both higher end units do their job in a much smoother and quieter manner.

The 70p's advantages over the HV35 are: Build quality, lower sound output and lower running temperatures. It also seems to draw less current making it less likely to blow your accessory port fuse.

With it's sturdy construction, smooth, quiet, & cool operation, I have little doubt that this compressor will be there when I need it. For the $40 price tag it is a hight value per dollar when compared to lesser makes.

I cannot believe how good this thing is!

I've spent some time doing research and happy i got this particular item

I have BMW with 19 inch sport wheels and low profile tires

This compressor is a part of my road side emergency kit

I have tire plugger and jack in addition to compressor as whole setup to fix my tire if i catch screw or nail while on the road

I have not had any issues in that regard yet, but i did use the comressor to inflate my tire.

It was a bit under spec, so i had to add some air

This little beast did the job within less than 30 second

Yes, not minutes, seconds!

It went from 34psi to 38psi in just a matter of seconds

It was done without any sweat either

Very little noise, very little vibration

Key things i like (also main reasons i bought it):

1. very small/compact compressor

2. powerfull enough to inflate even sport tires

3. super fast

4. built quality is very good

5. inflates other stuff (beach toys, sport equipment)

Great little compressor and built very well. Used this at the track to add air to the tires, the fastest cig lighter air compressor I ever used. I had many 20, 25 dollars air compressor and they all break within a year. The size is comparable to the other cheaper compressor not too big, which is nice. The pressure gauge on the compressor is good enough to help you fill your flat tire, just read it when the compressor is off.

updateAlmost 3 years later, still runs like a champ. I don't really know what to say anymore cause its still working great. Would buy an other one if I lose it, cause this thing is not gonna break.

Honest reviews on Viair 00073 70P Heavy Duty Portable Compressor

I bought this to use on a motorcycle. The pump's size is remarkably small for its output and the carrying case makes it perfect to carry on a motorcycle. However, the built-in gauge for the pump shows 50 pounds when the tires only have 40. That's far too inaccurate to be safe. I compared the pump's built-in gauge against a digital pressure gauge (which is accurate to 0.5 psi) and against the motorcycle's onboard internal gauge (accurate to within 1 psi). Both the external and internal digital readings were identical, but 10 pounds under the pump's readings. A 25% error bar is intolerable.

The pump itself worked well until about 18 months later when it started making noise and about a week later it died. I have another cheaper machine by another brand that I kept in my car which lasted 10 years. The failure of this Viair pump so soon after I bought it makes the rating much lower.

Works like a charm. Smooth operation, quick to inflate, reasonably quiet. Has a built in pressure gauge (excellent feature) and extra long cables.

Have used a campbell hausfield (got the job done, but was noisy and slow). This would be an acceptable and cheaper alternative.

Bought and returned a Slime unit (didn't inflate the tire, was noisy and dangerously HOT). Not an alternative.

There's not much I can say about a charger......a charger is a charger is a charger. The one thing I do like about this charger is the automatic shut-off. When no device is connected or if a connected device is fully charged, the charger shuts off automatically. I think this is a pretty good feature that will allow you to really know that your battery is not being overcharged, which will reduce the life of it.

Before purchasing this, I had gone for those bargain, "dime-a-dozen" chargers with the retractable cords that can be found on Amazon and eBay. After having 2 of those "cheap" chargers break on me, I decided to spend a bit more money to get one that would last, and from all outward appearances, it seemed that this one would. The construction of the plug and the cord seems very sturdy and durable. Well, after only 1 month, this one just stopped working. I've tried it in multiple outlets in different vehicles and it just plain doesn't work. Very disappointing from a supposed OEM product.

Note: My use of this charger had been light. I never took it out of the socket, and I only ever charged my phone on it for about 45 minutes at a time.

Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players Reviews

Sale Price: $29.95
Today's Bonus: 40% Off

I love this transmitter! When I first got it, I was disappointed that it seemed like you could not transmit in the best frequency of 87.9, but then I figured it out:

To change it to international mode (with the frequency 87.9 and so forth) all you have to do is hold the preset button for about 15 seconds, and the US will start flashing. Then you just hit the plus or minus to change to international mode, and voila! You now have the much coveted 87.9 frequency!

Since this transmitter will always be usable for any future mp3 player that I can imagine, (they are all going to have to have headphone jacks, right?) this means:

THIS IS THE LAST TRANSMITTER YOU WILL EVER HAVE TO BUY!

End of story. Get it. Now.

As an iPhone owner it took months for us to find a FM transmitter that gave us the ability to use our iPhone's iPod music capability in the car. Yes, this item is compatible with iPhone. Please see pros and cons below... (reviewed updated 6/21/2008)

Pro:

-iPhone and other MP3 player compatible (i.e. equipped with a "super minijack" headphone connection). Note: please don't confuse compatible with exceptional quality.

-Will power the iPhone and I think it can serve as a charger for it too

-Stores 4 pre-programmed stations

-Long cord could connect to a back seat lighter, not just the front (nice for those of you who have a lighter/socket in the rear)

-Acceptible broadcast strength, plenty loud as long as the iPhone volume is set loud.

-Price is reasonable relative to others on the market

-Buttons are flush with the front, fewer accidental button presses like I had experienced with my other (obsolete) transmitter

-In addition to buttons that cycle through the presets, there's up/down buttons to fine tune stations

-Socket has green LED when ready, turns amber when charging signaling that you are actually getting power

-Plastic case is less hard to open than others, the first that I can recall where I could pull it apart by hand (there's a tab in the back)... although a heavy pair of scissors are recommended

-Price is moderate, less than many (although not the least expensive either)

Con:

-Display is not backlit

-Broadcast strength and quality could be better

-Two cords, one plugs into the headphone jack, the other supplies power... a "quick and dirty" design (other competing models now use only one connector through the bottom connector, no separate connection to the headphone jack)

Nuetral:

-You must supply your own USB-based power cable. Since this is a one-size fits all device, it would be unreasonable to ask them to give you one for every player on the market...

-A small display... a pro or con, depending on the situation

-Made overseas, where quality often suffers (however, so far so good)

-Between the cable and the power cords, that's a lot of cable. I used the twist ties that came with the unit to help wrap up the excess wire to minimize tangling, you may want to too

-For iPhone users: the iPhone periodically emits a powerful magnetic field that interferes with this unit. I've found this true with other devices like my clock radio and phone at work

Bottom line: with recent advances now 3 stars (Amazon does not allow you to change the rating for an item once it is ranked). There are better items now on the market, but a low-cost option, especially good for non-iPhone applications due to random iPhone static interference.

Best Deals for Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players

This device works really well... IF you change it from US frequencies to International as explained by Random Bimms in another review of this product. (Thanks Random!!) I was having trouble finding a clear frequency in the D-FW area until I found the secret of setting it to 87.8 MHz. Too bad this tip isn't included in the instructions. With the USB charging connectivity, this is truly a universal transmitter/charger. Don't lock yourself into a unit that is dedicated to a particular brand/model... this one works with all of them that have a standard stereo headphone jack and USB charging.

Honest reviews on Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players

It's great not having to have any batteries for the transmitter OR the MP3 player. Works fine despite crowded NYC airwaves. Only thing lacking is an on/off switch; I have to pull it out of the lighter socket to keep it from draining the car battery.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Griffin iTrip Universal FM Transmitter and Charger for MP3 Players

Does just as advertised. Except your MP3 player must be set to a high volume. I had trouble finding an unused frequency because I live in a giant urban area. I use 92.1, but as you go from city to city unused frequencies will change.

This radio has the solid quality that you expect when you buy a Motorola Business Radio with more flexibility at the user level than Mot has offered in the past. I ordered the radio with GMRS and Amateur frequencies programmed into it. With the FREE software from Motorola's website, I can select which 16 of 99 frequencies I want to use, I can change the CTCSS codes, and save different configurations. Since it can be programmed to work with repeaters, it is perfect for the 'ham' and GMRS repeaters while offering MUCH more reliable radio operation than the typical consumer radios offer. You get what you pay for...no excuses.

Honest reviews on Motorola On-Site RDU4160d 16-Channel UHF Water-Resistant Two-Way

This is a great radio for GMRS. All you have to do is contact Motorola and send them your frequency list and your license and they will send you the code plug. Buy the programming cable and download the free software from their website. You can set this radio up to use GMRS repeaters. Once you load the radio with your frequencies you can change the PL Codes from the front radio just like a bubblepack radio so you can use differnt repeaters that use the same frequency pair. Or you can just do it all from the software. The speaker is supper loud and clear for its size. Even if you turn it up all the way it's still clear. I was very impressed with its clarity. The mic is clear also and can be adjusted to three differnt mic gain levels. You can switch from repeater to direct easily by programming one of the buttons on the radio to do that. You can switch it from high to low power to conserve power. You can also set a scramle mode so that only other radios set to that same scramble code will here you. This radio comes with a high capacity Lithium Ion battery 2400 milliamps. I bought the rapid rate charger because it only comes with the slow charger.

I ordered this product for emergency purposes for our family.

Unfortunately, after multiple calls with Motorola and the FCC, the FCC says that this radio can only be used with a business license, and for business purposes. That means it's a complete no go for personal use (even if you are a business).

The FCC also noted that the information in the Motorola manual was incorrect wrt licensing: You cannot apply directly for a license, but instead need to work through an aggregator to purchase a license.
