1.0 out of 5 stars It didn't work in my cig. lighter adaptor, April 10, 2007

I'm not sure if there's something unusual about the cigarette lighter adapter in my Ford Escape Hybrid, but this dual outlet plug adapter didn't fit in far enough for the side contacts to touch where they needed to for the power to go through it.

It may be my particular outlet in the car, but I'd definitely check to make sure you have a fairly deep cig. lighter outlet for this to work.

The company did respond pretty quickly, but it would have cost them and me more than it was worth for a $4 item to send it back and try to get me a different one.

This lighter plug did not work with my auto lighter plug. It keeps falling off because the shaft is to long when plugging it in. It will work with a deeper well socket.

2.0 out of 5 stars Did not fit in my car 12V socket, November 25, 2007

The shaft is too long for my 12V socket and it would not snap in far enough to engage the metal tabs on the side of the adapter. In my Nissan when I try to push it in it does not go in far enough to hold and snaps back out. In my Chevy it goes in deeper and works for a while, but the shaft is still too long and if I hit a bump it sometimes springs back out and loses contact.
