Fine piece of equipmet By
This block makes my home brew PP distro bus look like a grade school project, back for a second 8 position as well as a 4 position. A tip for those having problems unplugging the wrong connector, I just mark the input connector but the 49 cent retention clip does a great job of holding the connectors together.

I've been using Powerpoles for awhile now By
I have to agree with guest, there needs to be better instructions. Some is better than none. I'd like to see a side or end set of power poles specifically for the input from a power supply so that it's visually separate from the radio lead power poles. I've accidentally unplugged my power supply when I meant to unplug a radio. Funny how all my equipment shut off when I did that (not really funny).
I would like to see a new product, a heavy copper buss bar with a single high amperage powerpole connection to go to a ground outside and a bunch of single power poles of lower amperage rating to plug each piece of equipment into the ground buss bar. Along with that a series of wires with a matching power pole on one end and a lug on the other to mount to the equipment's ground lug screw.

Fantastic product By
I had a mix of VHF/UHF and HF radios and wanted something that can allow for easy expansion.   Connectors are solid on the unit and great with the equipment.

Good Device - Solidly Built - Ports a bit too tight By
If the ports weren't set too close to each other this device would have received 5 stars from me. As they are, I am having to remove the cover that I have been using on my power pole terminals so they could fit side-by-side when plugged in. The ports being so close to each other also makes unplugging them more challenging unless you want to unplug a few ports that are side-by-side.

Plugs don't come out By
I'm probably just dumb, but I kept trying to remove the plugs so i could attach them to power leads. Took me a while to realize they're fixed and that the plugs ARE the Jacks, due to the non-binary gender construction.  It would be nice if there were a minimal set of instructions that explained this for novices. I was about to start yanking on them with pliers. Other than that, it's a very solid piece of equipment and priced reasonably.

Interoperability, ease of use, and more! By
During a recent install of an Amateur Radio transceiver into my car, I thought I would try Anderson Powerpoles.  I wanted to make my radio ready to go to Field Day, or any emergency activation, knowing that with Anderson Powerpoles my radio would plug right in with other power supplies in "Plug and Play" fashion.

When it became apparent that adding Powerpoles was a "snap" with the Power Werx Powerpole crimping tool (I've crimped 12 and not ruined ANY!), I decided to use Powerpoles on all my radios in my radio shack, too.

I bought the 8 Position Power Distribution Block to connect the gear in my shack and it went together like a dream!  All my gear is now connected together with no more jumble of power leads to the power supply... just one clean lead from the power supply to the Distribution Block and all the units simply plug in!  

What could be easier?  Nothing, that I know of... Not only that, but any of my gear can be disconnected to go portable in an instant and brought back and reconnected in the same way!

My shack is cleaner and better organized now, and I can change things around simply by unplugging and replugging power leads in an instant!  

Thank you, Power Werx and Anderson Powerpole!
