I purchased this Jump starter for a vehicle that I rarely drive, and it works as advertised. My only complaint is that it does not come with a power cord. You will need to supply your own quality power cord to charge this unit, not a big deal really. I charged it out of the box and have it used it twice to jump cold dead cars and it does the job. Quality parts and construction are obvious, the clamp cables are a tad short but it was just long enough to reach terminals. It is my understanding that these type of products need to be used, depleted of power, and then charged again several times a year or they will experience problems. I plan to use this jump starter often and now even carry it in my car for that unexpected need.

Every now and then the car I tow behind my motorhome needs a jump to get started and this product eliminates calling a service truck. It's easy to carry and stow but I am totally perplexed about the lack of a power cord to charge the unit. I had to hunt around for the right extension cord with a fitting compatible with the jump starter. You'd think Black & Decker would deal with the extra $1 of product cost to include a cord to charge the unit!!

The JUS500B is all it is advertised to be. The only drawbacks are that it is heavy for a portable emergency starter battery, it sits on the ground flat and will not store or stand upright at all (round bottom end) and it does not come with an electrical cord for charging. If not for these (non-operational) drawbacks, I would give it a five star review.

Honest reviews on Black & Decker JUS500B 500 Amp Jump Starter

I bought this to replace an older Black & Decker jump starter that was stolen out of my SUV. Seeing the comments concerning the lack of power cord included, I was curious what type of cord it would take to charge it. When I got it out of the box I saw that a simple 2-prong, $3.00 appliance extension cord works fine.

I live in the desert and the summer heat kills batteries; you never know when your car battery is going to give up the ghost and not even respond to an overnight charge. A jump starter has kept me from being stranded a few times, and it's also nice to have if someone else needs a jump.

It is not too heavy, easy to use. I used it for the first time about 2 weeks ago when my Honda City ran out of battery because I left my lights on. Luckily I have it charged. It was a simple stuff to do. I just pick it up, put it next to my car battery plug it and then start the engine. I few minutes later I was on my way!

I have to say that this is one of the worst brand names i have bought from. First they send me a a defective charger. Also in the shipment was a tip that went to a Dell laptop computer that I didn't even own. Then they ship me a new charger and then i find out from them that my tip is non function because of a firmware change Creative just did. Well just great.... They then send me a new tip works then they send me another one of the same type!?!?!?!? After this huge mess i finaly got it working and I have to say its pretty good for what you get. It does charge much faster than the PC. Average PC charge is approx. 3-4 hours. Wall charger is 1-2 1/2. So it is good and it is portable but man does this company need to get their shipping management worked out.

I ordered this charger for my 32gb iPod Touch 3G. I was nervous reading some of the newer reviews about the 3G not having the same charging capabilities as previous generations, but I thought I'd give this one a shot. This charger worked perfectly. I charge my iPod almost everyday with it, and use the cord that was included. It even seems to charge quicker than when it is plugged into my computer. Like others have mentioned, there is a bright blue power light on it, however, it's not unbearable. I would definitely recommend this charger.

Great item for frequent travel. I keep it in my travel kit so I can charge multiple small devices: phone, bluetooth ear phone, iPod, etc. I am going to search to see if Belkin makes one of these with a European plug--which, if they don't, they should! This one works very well with a plug adapter. The power on light is very bright; works well as a night light, but if it is in your line of sight, you may have to cover it up. It is a great item. I will probably get another one.

I mounted this product on the post of a shelf that holds spare batteries. Over time our spares would discharge. Keeping them on a charger was a total mess with wires in a rat's nest. Now we can just walk by and see that the lights are all the way to green. Even new batteries take an initial charge, which is to be expected since there is no telling when they were actually filled with acid. Another incredible use is keeping 12 volt gel cells charged. The charger comes with two 10' extension cords. (All cords have polar connectors for the charger end so you can't plug them in wrong.) I took one of the extension cords and split the wires apart every foot for six inches. Then folded the wires back and put a nylon tie around the wires where the split ended at both points. This gave me nine loops of split wires. I could have split the entire 10' length but that would have made the end result messier and more likely to tangle. At the mid point of each loop I clipped a 3M T Tap connector over both the red and the black wires. T Tap connectors just snap over a wire, insulator and all, and then allow a blade connector to be plugged in. The exact same blade connectors that the T Tap connectors are designed to accept are on 12 volt gel cell batteries. So with our modified charger extension cord we can now maintain the charge on nine gel cell batteries at the same time. This is the link for the T Tap connectors : http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotchlok-Self-Stripping-QuickSlide-Disconnect/dp/B003KOIBLI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351600013&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+952 The only complaint is that this charger is intended for four batteries at the same time. However there are only two charging cables with electrical clamps. The other two have holes at the end which I guess is for batteries with threaded connectors and wing nuts. If you have more than two batteries with plain posts then you are forced to find another way to keep them connected. If you want to have four clamp connectors instead of the two it comes with then you have to buy two of these: http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GC001-Genius-Battery-Connector/dp/B004LWV0DY/ref=sr_1_21?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1351600268&sr=1-21&keywords=noco+genius

Honest reviews on NOCO Genius G4 6V/12V 4.4 Amp 4-Bank Smart Battery Charger

The charger only comes with 2 battery clips and 2 battery eyelet connectors. I was unable to use the eyelet connectors, so I could only charge 2 batteries at the same time. I contacted customer service to see if they would exchange the eyelet connectors for clips, and they responded that they do not make exchanges. They said I needed to purchase 2 clips in order to charge 4 batteries. For the price of this charger, they should include four of each, or, give you a choice of connectors when you purchase.

I like that I can charge batteries of different types at one time. This is a very slow charger at 4.4 amps, so if you need a quick charger, look elsewhere. I leave this charger on my boat batteries whenever the boat is parked. I have one glass mat battery (Optima red top) and one deep cycle battery. Overall, this product works really well, especially if you have an over-night period when you can charge batteries.

I'm very happy with this quality of this lighter socket. It comes with plenty of wire so you can really mount it on a motorcycle wherever you want. My only complaint is that the spring for the cover is REALLY stiff. It be nicer if you could just hold it up and plug something in with one hand, but you need two. I never unplug the component I use it for, so it's not really a big deal for me.

What else can I say? It's a 12v Aux power hookup and does what it's supposed to do, it's well made, easy to install if you know what you're doing and the spring closure is good and strong. Plenty of wire for most applications. Just remember, if you want it to be fused, you need to either hook it up via an existing fusebox or purchase an inline fuse seperately.

The first time I inserted a plug into this receptacle it pulled out the inner metal sleeve when I pulled out the plug. For the price, it was not worth shipping it back so I just glued the metal sleeve back in place. Now it works fine. Not a great product but then again it isn;t very expensive either.

Review of Motorcycle Mount & Hardwire Direct Power Cable for Garmin Nuvi 200

Customer Ratings:

I have both of these items, and they work as promised. I first mounted it on to a Kawasaki ER-6n motorcycle and it worked fine. The suspension was pretty smooth. But later this summer, I traded that in for a Harley Sportster 883 Iron. I mounted the power supply and ran the wires easy as pie. Then I mounted the GPS holder to the handlebars. If you know anything about Harley Sportsters, they aren't known for their plush ride. It rides rough, and the handlebars vibrate a lot, but the mount held up just fine. If it can handle that, it can handle anything.

Its a little noisy, but thats because it's actually doing something. If you already own 18 volt DeWalt tools, batteries, and a charger, then this is a really nice all-purpose tool to have around for a reasonable price. I haven't used it with any fluids yet, but it seems to have enough power to do that with no problem. The quick-change-quick-charge batteries are just as handy on this as they are on all of the other DeWalt tools. This won't do what a shop vac does, but it handles medium-small particles nicely. It doesn't come with any tools other than the detachable hose. The pictures are not always exceedingly clear, but the hose is normally stretched over the handle and anchored in the small yellow end which serves as the main vacuum nozzle. This "nozzle" is hard plastic with a fixed shape, but it seems to work well for most encounters. The detachable hose stretches out a few feet so it reaches about as far as an arm can reach, making it is handy, too. I think that this is worthy of the DeWalt name.

O.K., this thing is a beautiful piece of equipment. Don't listen to all the nit-picking garbage of some of these other reviews.

1) Yes, it is a bit on the loud side. The motor has virtually no sound insulation with the obvious reason of keeping the weight and size minimal. This really is not a big deal as you are probably only using it for a couple minutes at a time. I'm actually a bit shocked that so many people seem to have such a problem with the noise. From the reviews you'd think that they are holding a jet engine in their hand. If you have any experience with power tools or shop vacs, the noise is a non-issue, just don't use it next to someone napping on the couch!!

2) The suction power for its size and weight is exceptionally good. It is SO much better than a traditional hand vacuum that it's really not comparable. My Hoover wet-dry hand vac was instantly rendered pointless and offered to my neighbor as a gift.

3) No, the capacity is not terribly large, but it is not designed for picking up a great deal of material. If you're concerned about this, know that opening the container and emptying it is extremely simple and quick. If it's still not big enough, you obviously need a shop vac, not this.

4) Yes, if you are vacuuming up fine particles such as drywall dust or fine sawdust, the filter clogs fairly quickly and you will start to lose suction. The filter is probably actually a bit TOO good for very fine particles. Nothing gets through it. Both a positive and negative really. My recommendation is to simply remove the cylinder type filter after EVERY use with fine material and clean it by smacking it a few times on your palm over a garbage can, preferably outside. The filter comes out extremely easily after the collection container is removed. Just a quarter turn and it pops off. Simple and fast. As a general rule, cleaning the filter regularly is a must to keep the suction high.

On the whole, an excellent item. I would however recommend to anyone from Dewalt reading these reviews to seriously consider including a crevice tool to attach to the hose. It would be an excellent addition and could be mounted on some sort of external clip on the side of the housing or perhaps the housing itself could have a storage opening engineered into the body of the housing itself to slide the tool into to store it when not using it. Other than this minor gripe, I have no complaints. I intend to go out and find a crevice tool that fits the hose, 1 1/4 inch, but I really shouldn't have to at this price, it should come with one.

Just got this vacuum today and it is great. Has wonderful suction. Other reviews talk about it being noisy. This is not true. It is no louder than any other dust buster. I bought it without the battery as we have plenty of them from other Dewalt tools. I have already thrown away my dust buster. Highly recommend it.

Honest reviews on DEWALT Bare-Tool DC515B 18-Volt Cordless 1/2 Gallon Wet/Dry

I call this One-Bad-Mamma-Jamma dustbuster! My wife calls it the Roach-Sucker. If you pull the hose out of the nozzle you can stretch it out and chase down even the most wiley roach. Just get the nozzle close the the little runner and he's toast. Oh, remember to empty it out before the roach starts decaying in the bin...

This is not a toy like every useless rechargeable dustbuster. It's a real shopvac, just smaller. It has enough suction to replace a low-end shop vac, but be warned, it is about as loud as a full size vac too.

The bare tool is a great way to get the vac at a reasonable price if you already have an 18v drill or whatever. You'll toss out the crappy little dust buster and never look back. Just be careful cleaning up really fine dusty messes, it is difficult to clean stuff like drywall dust out of the filter.

I got this for my wife as a portable vac for the house. I was tired of the home, portable vacs that die all the time and only last a few years. Although this is a little bigger and heavier, it has twice the power and capacity and, can suck up liquids as well, and is easier to empty. I will build a rack to hang it in a closet. It only costs about 20% more than the poor quality portable home vacs. Because I have 1/2 a dozen Dewalt tools that use this battery (I have 4 batteries and two chargers), I know I will always have a charged battery for the unit. It doesn't come with any attachments but I found that my central vac tools fit on the Dewalt hose (which is quite short by the way). Believe it or not, it was a perfect Christmas present for her. She was thrilled!

One of the uses I had in mind is to use the radios for communicating between two closely space moving cars. Forget it!! The steel body of a car is apparently too much of a barrier as it only works when the cars are next to each other, but is useless when they are more than a few hundred yards apart. Works O.K. for short distances in typical residential areas within about a mile or so apart. The charging system does not accurately indicate when you need a charge or when they are fully charged.
