    The best thing about them is that they're reusable and reconfigurable. Need to change something? Flip it open, pull out the wire and put something else in its place. Need to pull out your meters or your radio? Flip it open, pull out the wire and there you go...



    Need to mix wire sizes? These will handle from 28 awg to 12 awg. That's what makes them such a great buss system.

    Wow, this is awesome! A lot better than bunching several wires together and capping them with a wire nut.

    I did routinely when I was a teen. I was hooking up stereo, equalizer, CB radio, fog lights etc etc etc and using wire caps. Worse yet, I used electrical tape on everything, even speaker wires and the hundred wires sticking out of the equalizer haha. Hell, I didn't even bother using fuses which I paid for later.

    Nowadays, I solder connections and use shrink tube. I also use power distribution blocks but RoadsterTech's look a lot smaller and easier to use.

    On small business Sat. If you buy a NA rack system or an NB gauge plate I will put in a meter pack for free.
    Use SBSat as a code when you PM me.

    This^. Photo one takes the cake. Though...I just ordered a bunch of buttsplices...so...I'm still partial to that and twist and solder. I dont like vamp taps. But sorta okay with T taps because of A.Orange. I think with a little di-electric grease they will be insulated where it rips the insulation apart.

    Eitherways. Good job. Looking forward to your next product.

    Cool! These would have been really handy when I was wiring up my rear lights earlier in the year, might have to revisit that!

    Thank you for the nice words!
    I hope they work well for you.
    Just a small note:
    Make sure you lift the lever all the way up.
    There is a cam lock on it so it will pop up and stay in the upright position.
    Then you can put your wires in with no issue. Once you are wire up, just a light push on the lever will pop it down.
    Keep your fingers out of the way when you do this the lever will smart a bit if it pops down on your little finger.
