I use it as a battery charger for my lawn tractor and it works great.
4 of 4 found this helpful I am an electronics engineer, and I bough this to improve my lawn tractor's battery charging circuit. Most low-en lawn tractors below $1200 use a single diode to convert the AC current generated by the alternator to a DC (half wave) rectified current (at about 9-19 volts depending on your throttle speed of low to high, respectively).
I particularly like the wide input voltage range of this DC-DC converter that spans from 8 to 60 volts and can provide a user adjustable output voltage of 1 to 36 volts. I have set my output level at about 14.5 volts to allow charging the 12 battery at 3A when half way depleted and 0.2A when fully charged. This way my battery life will increase by 3-5 years. However, I must also suggest removing the single diode from the lawn tractor circuit and install a square metallic 50A bridge diode instead. this way you will have full wave rectification circuit instead of half wave, and the OEM 10 cents diode will not burn up on you and drain your battery or short circuit your alternator wiring and metallic body of the bridge diode will dissipate the heat generated during rectification process. Note: A burned up alternator will coast you $80-$120 in parts, and a few hours of engine disassembly time.
I will notice that all the higher end lawn tractors $1500+ use an electronic voltage regulator for that reason, so you can do the same under $10 including the cost of the bridge diode ($2).

Excellent tool for cleaning your pressure washer.
Frankly, I think this adapter is one of the most useful additions to my pressure washer tools. I have two different pressure washers and I've been using them every year since 1999, but the older unit died and after replacing the pump, since I am an Engineer, I had to disassemble the pump to see the failure cause. It was evident that water remaining in the pump after each use was the reason for the mineral build up and check valve failures. So, even tough I thought I was flushing the pump after disconnecting the main water hose and running it manually for a few turns to flush out the remaining water in the pump, apparently, it was enough water left in the pump that caused the mineral build up and premature failure. Consequently, I would highly recommend using this adapter and a small air compressor to blow out left over water in the pump for 3-5 minutes after each use and it will fully dry inside the pump which it will prevent any mineral build up in the pump. You can always spray some mineral oil using the hose inlet after you have dried out the pump with pressurized air to further lubricate and protect your pump.
Alternatively, you can buy $12 pump saver which will do the same, but its overall cost can add up if you spent $12 after each pressure washer use. I think you will save a lot more money if you spend $8-$12 on this adapter if you already have an air compressor at home.

The pins on the OBDII connector are so thick, that broke my Mercedes connector as I tried to insert it.
This is a good tool once you are able to connect it to an OBDII/OBD2 connector. It does scan properly and does not have an extensive database for Mercedes Benz (MB) cars. Example, it reported the error code is P24D6 on my car, but it did not know that it is an EVAC failure issue, so if I didi nto have my failed emission paper to help me, I would be clue less or had to search the Google.
The only MAJOR problem I would warn you about is that the male connector pins are so thick that you may have difficulty inserting it into your car's OBD2 female connector. Unfortunately, my MB OBD2 connector one side is broken to excessive force trying to insert this unit and it is going to cost me several hundred dollars to get it fixed by MB dealer. So, BUYER be AWARE !
