Default PipeMagnet Custom Power Supplies

Hello. I am an 18 year old high school senior. I am selling these to help fund my racing. I am not a business or a company.

I am offering custom-built power supplies configured to your liking. These units will comfortably do 20 amps on the 12v line with some cushion above that. I can also add 5v and 3v jacks which will do 25 amps each. The 5v and 3v jacks work great for running in motors and powering lathes right off of the PS itself. I include an LED fan for good looks. I have red, blue, and green fans.

These supplies are very safe. They will shut down if overloaded, shorted out, or if they overheat. They work on both 120/240 volt outlets. They measure about 6x6x3inches.

I went to the track and hooked up 3 chargers running at 7 amps, a motor on the 3v line, and a motor on the 5v line and the unit would NOT shut down. These are pretty beefy units.

I have sold over 40 of these supplies in the past with great results. However, due to their unique design there are a couple of chargers that do not work with the units. Futaba chargers are not compatible. The unit works on MOST tire truers.

If you're not satisfied I will do my best to make you so.

I am offering these units for $50 base model. A base model includes one colored fan and one set of jacks. Each additional set of jacks (extra 12v, 3v, 5v) can be added for $5 a pair. I can add another colored fan to the back of the unit for another $5. All domestic shipping is $12. For example, the pictured unit will sell for $77 SHIPPED......$50 base, 3x$5 for additional jacks, $12 shipping.

I have both BLACK units and CHROME units. Pictures of each are shown below. BLACK units come only with the fan pictured. CHROME units can come with red,blue,or green fans.

The pictures really don't show the brilliance of the fans! They are BRIGHT!


I accept paypal, please send any questions to [email protected]


Thanks guys!

I run 2 Ice chargers, 0-30 tray and a lathe with no problems on the PS I got from you. The only charger I had problems with were the quasar pro which is ac/dc anyway.

I bought 2 from Nick. One for me and a friend. We have not had any problem with any of them except you need to turn it off before plugging anything into them. So I added a shut off to all the outlets so I don’t have to turn off the power supply during charging. I run 4 chargers off mine as I share my power supply with others.

Good work Nick.

I have been using this with my Ice for over 4 months with no issues. It also works great with my tire truer. Just do not switch the polarity when the truer is in use or the power supply will cutoff. Great product!

Hey guys just talked to my supplier.....I can get gloss black supplies instead of the chrome! What do you think? They have a bigger fan on the top and none on the back. They are a gloss black all over. I think they will look cleaner once put together......you guys decide.....BLACK OR CHROME ?
