Cheap Xantrex Technologies 813-0281 XPower 100 Watt Inverter
I bought this to allow me to run small chargers when in the car.
All of my chargers are world-power rated, so just having 110V to a US socket/outlet is great, even at low power. The UK standard plug is so big, and the need to have 240V not there, so I have standardised on a single converter to the US plug and a multiplier (which is small because the plugs are small). Oh, yes some chargers also have folding pins for the US version, so reduced puncture/bend risk!
And this provides an alternative source of electricity to support that system.
I would have wanted one that has an aircraft connector, but since I don't tend to travel in the classes that have such power sockets, I don't miss it yet. Oh, yes, just got a new laptop that has long battery life, so one flight can be OK, and I can recharge at the stop-over or (using this product) during the car trip to the meeting.
And it's good and small, so I don't mind carrying it around.
Great product that fits my power system, without needing too much transportation space.Get more detail about Xantrex Technologies 813-0281 XPower 100 Watt Inverter.

Push Wire Connector (51038057) Get it now!
quick and easy way to splice to wires together. i've been told to be wary of push connectors, but wago generally seems to be good and this is different than push connectors on a receptacle which gets more movement and might come free after time. this kind of connector is going to be in a junction box or something where use and abuse are far less likely. wago has a multitude of interesting connectors, most of which aren't available on amazon yet. these were actually cheaper at the local ace hardware than the traditional twist connectors, though i haven't tried them with braided wire.Get more detail about Push Wire Connector (51038057).

Save In-LineLinc Relay - INSTEON On / Off Module (Non-dimming) w/ Sense
Let me start by saying the vendor SmartHome is excellent even when there are problems. This particular module didn't work well within my existing X10 system.
I was tired of buying X10 modules that went bad after a few months to a couple of years. I have a whole box full of bad X10 modules that I have bought over the last 20 years. I thought the Insteon system looked good because it would allow a gradual switch from the unreliable X10 system to Insteon.
I tried using this item mounted withing a fluorescent fixture to replace the X10 fixture module that had stopped working after 6 months of good performance.
The first Insteon module I received worked 1/2 the time and the rest of the time it required multiple presses of the X10 button because it would shut itself off after about 1 second. Usually it would stay on after the 3rd press of the button. One time it wouldn't stay on even after 14 button presses. I gave up and opened the curtains so I could see.
A call to SmartHome connected me to a polite and knowledgeable person. He suggested we cross ship a replacement and he e-mailed me a return label that would be paid for by SmartHome.
The 2nd module didn't work any better.
Another call to SmartHome connected me with a different, and very nice person that suggested using filter to isolate the fluorescent electrical noise from the Insteon module.
This filter didn't help at all.
Finally, I had to give up on using Insteon and returned everything then bought a Leviton X10 fixture module from SmartHome. It worked perfectly. I am hoping that the Leviton module will be more reliable than the X10 modules.
Again, SmartHome is an excellent company. The Insteon modules seem to have problems working in a mixed X10/Insteon system. I wound up talking with 4 SmartHome support people and all of them were polite and knowledgeable.

3M Glass Cloth Electrical Tape 27, White, Rubber Thermosetting Adhesive, 1/2-Inch by 66-Foot Top Quality
We recently discovered a crack on our glass-top stove. It's a GE Profile, and we were told a new top would be $300-$500. The crack is about 6" long, forming a diagonal close to the front right corner. Before purchasing a new top, I decided to give this a try. It's worked really well keeping the crack sealed, and since it's heat-resistant it stands up to pans and the general heat of the stove top. (Note that the crack is not on or adjacent to any of the burners!). Good product, good price.Get more detail about 3M Glass Cloth Electrical Tape 27, White, Rubber Thermosetting Adhesive, 1/2-Inch by 66-Foot.

Low Price Tripp Lite ISOBAR6 6-Outlet Isobar Premium Surge Protector (2350 Joules)
I have been using and selling this item for about 5 years now. Last year I had a major power surge at home that literally fried every surge protector that I had plugged in around the place (including 3 Isobars & a battery back-up/surge protector) the only electronics that survived were the ones that were plugged into the Isobars. Those Isobars were burned to a crisp inside, but they did the job when everything else failed to stop the surge from getting through to blow out the electronics that were plugged into them. I only use & recommend the Isobar brand now.Get more detail about Tripp Lite ISOBAR6 6-Outlet Isobar Premium Surge Protector (2350 Joules).
