Does the job, but...
I ordered this thinking that it was going to be a simple job. Just plug in the male end to the fuse tap and hook it up to the box.I was completely wrong. The female end on this fuse tap was far too small for the male end of my hardwiring kit so I ended up having to modify the male end to make it fit.It was dodgy, but with a little bit of crimping, twisting and snapping, I was able to make the male end fit into the female end of the fuse tap, clamped them both together and taped them up for added safety measures.Other than the slight modification I had to make, it works perfectly and is hooked up to a permanent live fuse so my dash cam can run constantly.

Brilliant!
Perfect, did the job! Needed to hard wire my dash camera and Road Angel into my Lexus IS300h. These just make life so simple, find a circuit that is ignition on and is nothing to do with the ECU, pull the existing fuse out (I would suggest finding a circuit that is of similar fuse rating to that your are taping into), place that fuse you have taken out in the lower of the 2 fuse holders in the unit (the one that doesn't have the cable coming out underneath it). Place the correct fuse for the application in the other slot (the one with the wire coming out) and then push the unit back into the fuse box, voila you are done. The only thing to note is that you wont be able to put the cover of the fuse box back on so put it somewhere safe as they tend to have the map of the fuse box on them! Oh and remember to earth anything you are plugging in, I earthed it first so you wont blow anything...Hope this helps?

A lot better than nothing, does the job, but a pain to use.
Four low-profile piggyback fuse tap add-ons. They do the job, but considerable force is required to insert or remove the fuses, and the puller tool does not grip an inserted fuse.I ended up initially levering out fuses with a small screwdriver just so that the puller could get a grip.The kit of bits including some earth tags, bullet connector tips, heat-shrink sleeving, and spare fuses is useful and should cover most permutations of needs, although the crimp bullets assume one has the correct tool.

Great item
Easy to use and fit perfect. Car fuses have changed a lot over the years and several different sizes are now being used. So check and check again as some are very similar but not the same! I have a drawer full of now obsolete fuses, which are not that old. Thanks a lot, car makers.

Good product
I bought this item as i wanted to hardwire my new dashcam in my car. The piggyback fuse holder and cable seems to be good quality and fits my car well. It also comes with a ring terminal which came in handy as I needed it for this install to connect the dashcam power to ground. I tried using the fuse puller but struggled to remove any fuses from the fusebox. I ended up using another type to grab the fuses which were firmly seated. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and have now got a working dashcam install.

Worked well but beware fuses supplied may not match description
Bought the low profile mini blade version which states comes with 3, 5, 10, 15 & 20 amp fuses. Actually came with 5, 7.5, 10, 15 & 20 so 7.5amp instead of 3 which is the one I needed. Also bullet fitting was smaller than standard but not a major issue for me as it comes with heatshrink so I just soldered connection and used heatshrink. Still great value.

A must for dash cam installs
This is a must buy if you're looking for a tidy and discreet dashcam install. I used this to tap into and split power directly from the fuse box in my glove box to drive a front and rear dash cam in my car.After a couple of years of use this item has performed in line with expectations. It was easy to fit, came with all of the required cables and fuses and helped me to come up with a professional style installation.

Simple way to take power from the modern type of auto fuse box
A short lead attached to the take off. Both fuses were very hard to insert but at least this meant they were secure. The kit comes with 5,7.5,10,15 and 20 A fuses so should be easy to find the correct one.I bought this kit to put a nextbase dashcam in a new car. The next base came with a plug but this came with a crimp connector. Easy either crimp a bare wire or replace the crimp with a socket. I did not need the sleeve or the other connector but they will be useful in the future.The fuses are incredibly difficult to remove once inserted.Wound use again
