Product Reviews

Expensive Peace of Mind

This is SOME PIECE of METALWORK! The protector is heavy weight and probably heavy-duty. Machining and finish are excellent. I do wish that the tiny screw and small washer that secure the ground wire were LARGER since I tend to be fumble-fingered. The screw is too short to leave in the protector while trying to hook the ground wire around it…and so it and the washer parted company, with the screw finding a swell place to hide.I look upon this as a form of insurance: my WeBoost antenna and amplifier cost over $400. so this $70 protection is perhaps worth it. I cannot find that grounding the system has improved my reception.

Safety is good - do not install an outdoor antenna/cable rig without something like this

This was easy enough to install, though I had to chop down the grounding wire I purchased separately for attaching to this to earth. My antenna rig has yet to be hit by lightening, so I can’t vouch for its effectiveness, but it certainly looks like it will work as advertised.

price is a little steap

well I will recommend this because it is a must have if you have a lot of lightning just a little to expensive I cant tell how it works until lightning hits it but hopefully never happens because I would hate to see the price of the fuse
