| I tried this so I could use my iPhone's FM transmitter/holder and my GPS at the same time powered to the car's socket. I had tried two other harvest, and in each case, the iPhone and it's holder were too heavy to hold the item securely. But this adapter is incredibly sturdy and works perfectly. I don't know if it will survive in the long term, but since the male plug is not changeable at all, it should last as long as it needs to. No problems with powering up the devices, connection is very solid. I work on the road, am in my car constantly, and so this is the exact companion to make my ride comfortable. The adapter is very compact, so it fits perfectly, and I believe it would fit most cars with no riddle. I urge this item highly to anyone who needs to at once plug in 2 devices to their car's electrical socket. |
Low-priced and simple to use

| I've used this for a couple of weeks now so I could power my GPS at the same time I was listening to my satellite radio. For the most part, this works fine. The one riddle that I've had a few times is that one of the 2 items plugged in may not be drawing power. Now and again the connection seems loose, even if I've never had a riddle with the adapter coming loose from the socket itself. While it's not exact, it gets the job done for me. |

| While this Twin Car 12V socket adapter works OK, there is NO fuse safeguard (I took it apart and there is NO fuse in it). Also, there is a warning mark on the adapter that says "No Cigarette Lighting, Max of 2.5 amps for using both devices". |
Mildly sticky

| What a fantastic thought. But this fastidious design was not capable of staying in the charging socket. It kept financial help out on its own. The company very quickly sent me a replacement, but the replacement did the same. I drive a Subaru Forester, and I reckon it's socket would be the same as other manufacturer's, but nonetheless, I could not keep it in the socket. Gave up and bought another type. |
