    Another quality video Dave. First saw volt drop across fuses being done by ScannerDanner a year or two back. Used it to good effect a few times since. 👍

      dave sterl I’m good dave cheers, still a regular watcher just more on the big tv rather than my phone. Just ordered one of these (great price!)
      I’m still after one of these www.aeswave.com/uactivate-circuit-test-assistant-p8975.html

    Handy wee rig Dave. Takes the "leg" work out of the charts. Excellent point about the El-cheapo fuses! Heading toward a "Grand". Wow incredible. Knowing the effort you put in and the contribution you have made to the "Clan" not surprising in the least. Every Sub well deserved...Don't forget that the next time some black heart tests your forbearance. Cheers Pal

      £30 that was vat and del included. Like you say Dave handy wee tool at the price . Probably priced right at about £30, much more than that don't think I would have bought it.

    Nice video Dave.. little side note. When using those cheap fuses they tend to melt instead of pop.... Which could inturn cause a fire.. tested that out in a training course.
    P.s I work right next to the Eaton company😁

    Great explanation of how fuses work even taught me something lol. As for that Sealey tool, that will certainly cut down the time of finding those paraistic draws. Does it work on kids as mine are constantly drawing on the bank of dad 🤣😂

    Off is hitting the two fuse buttons at the same time. Or auto off after ten mins of idle.

  • @Steve-pm7xu
    @Steve-pm7xu 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How do you test if the circuit is drawing amps if the battery is dead? Do you have to charge battery first? Or does it somehow figure out the amp draw with the battery dead?
