What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The mc4 wrench screws down without scratch/gouging to solar wire connections. This is not likely a fault of the tool because it doesn't look like mc4 is a standard since every brand of connector varies slightly. Mppt charge controller protects the lin... Read More
Cons
The 'wrench' end is too big for the mc4 connector nut. The wrench end used to tighten new connectors is too large. The y female connector tab receptor widths are too narrow. Will not fit a mc4 connector.
Review from april 27th confirms to the same problem. Would have sent it back as could use it but more hassle than the cost. Piece of junk and waste of my time and money.
Highlights
Quality
Build quality is very good as well.
Product arrived fast and the quality was much better than expected.
The renogy panel in not compatible with the renogy branch connector.
Price
No chips or cracks that i could find and a very good price.
Competitiveness
Seem to be similar quality as other renogy products.
As with all the renogy products i purchased, these work right out of the bag.
I wanted to have less connections for hooking up a third panel to a 2-panel renogy kit.
Note: the wrench is too big to tighten the barrel connectors on my panel's mc4 connectors but works fine with renogy connectors.

What i discovered is that if its sized correctly you can completly short the solar power and the pannels dont generate enough current to blow the fuse anyway
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Solar panels are inherently current limited by function so im realizing in my application implementing this was probably unnecessary
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The pannels will never generate more short circuit power than they are rated at so this is likely not needed
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Will not be using these for a while
