    Fit and Forget

    posted by gregwalton on 06/07/2010 Certified Owner

    Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:more than 1 month

    Cons:
    It really is suited to "fit and forget" applications. The construction of this adaptor isn't suitable for application...

    Cons:
    Slightly weak build quality, but considering that most uses for this is in enclosed electronics that doesn't actually matter mu...
