Packaging 

The ‘ powerjack’ comes in a rather simple box with a minimal amount of innter protection. In this case it is not a bad thing as the jack is not a delicate electronic component. THe inscription on the box discribes the function of the product in humorous way, however it reminds me of the ‘quick-fit’ advertisements, that are currently on UK television.

The product 

The rightly named ‘powerjack’ consist of three stages; similar to that of the Saturn V moon rocket. The base which is the first stages the second stage which is the adjustable extension and lastly the third which is the jack itself.

First we have the powerjack in its ‘larvae’ form which consists of the lid and the adjustable screws pointing out from the side.

To access the ‘rocket’ section the consumer only needs to take off the lid and then this slides onto the bottom of the jack and forms its ‘first-stage’.

The second stage consists of the first adjustable section with two small ‘thumbscrews’ on either side. On examining this section the screws themselves do not feel robust as they are made from some form of lightweight polymer. However there is a slot for a screwdriver in order to get the aforementioned screws extra tight.

Lastly there is the third; which consist of the main jack itself. This is adjustable by a small ‘thumbwheel’ which does the job nicely. At the very end of this, is a small circular supporting clamp with foam glued onto the end which is in to protect your precious card and waterblock
