Customer Reviews
404USB By
Well made and handy.  I have one mounted to my work desk.  Use it to power one or two radios and charge various USB devices.  I also rewired a 1977 Airstream using a larger version of one of the RigRunners as the fuse panel.

4004U By
Very well made sound construction.  However very disappointed with a price of around $80 I would expect reverse polarity protection. Was on an outing with several other hams. I was given a power supply  that the post were labeled incorrectly.  To my surprise the input fuse didnt blow and now i have an $80 paper weight.
I checked  it does not have reverse polarity protection.  When i was looking at several advertisements  for rig runner they listed reverse  polarity protection but you had to carefully check to see wich ones.  Not happy

Good Power Distribution for 12/5 volt applications By
I have two of the 4004 USB RIGrunners in my Go-Boxes which provide very clean power distribution especially when multiple connections are required. I mostly like the fact each piece of equipment has its own fuse rating which can be varied based upon current requirements.

There is only one negative thing I can say about Anderson Power Pole connectors is that when using a RIGrunner you don't have a way of securing the plugs to the distribution connector since the little plastic clips don't work. I've experienced passengers in my vehicle kicking a cable and causing a cable to disconnect.
