That looks like a handy tool , the ol test probe has come a long way.

In the wrong hands it would be a disaster.

keep it simple and just get a cheepy volt meter. them red light green lights ain't gonna help with voltage drops.


Mark, I beg to differ. Although I didn't show it, I stepped up to the Power Probe III, which has a handy little display which shows both voltage and polarity (http://www.powerprobeonline.com/pp319ftc--power-probe-iii--with-case-and-accessor319.html -- about $155). No joke, this is stupidly easy to use and frequently makes me look a like a genius, which is typically hard to do.

In the words of Dan Filetti, No affiliation... I just like their product.






Mike, like I said before , that would be a handy tool.  the upgrade to the display model would be even better.

however , most guys have trouble enough just checking battery voltage with a meter or test probe.

Do you carry that tool with you on your fj when you travel?

My somewhat jaded view is due to the idiocy I am forced to endure as I try to teach retards how to use a multimeter at my Hvacr vocational school.

It is a given that fj riders are smarter than others , but I still believe a tool that forces voltage thru circuits would be confusing to a lot of people.

A jumper wire would cost less.

nice looking test lights  :good:

Probably a whole lot safer around sensitive electronic circuits.

taking some of the risk away from using a test light might not be a bad thing.

I wouldn't take it with me on the FJ, but than again,

I have never taken any tools with me on the FJ.

No your buddys bring them for you :shok:

could you be talking about the buddy that broke down on the side of the road and made me ride back to get his truck and trailer

so he could get his bike back home?  I cleaned all the carbon out of his truck on the highway that day, don't tell him though :diablo:

I think that was the same buddy that use to break down every 10-15 miles, making a 20 minute ride last an hour, or two.

I suppose that may explain why my "buddys" bring tools for me, So I can work on their his bike.
