>[Just one man's opinion... try the B&C Specialty Products units
(http://www.bandc.biz/cgi-bin/ez-catalog/cat_display.cgi?3X358218)... they
include hi and lo voltage warnings, crowbar overvoltage protection, are well
supported, and work great.

Another man's opinion...  I'll second that.  I don't know about Bob
Knuckles.
