Very cheap for the quality and you wont regret it. Just got the same one. Working on my mower. I do stuff. welding wood work, jewellery you get the point but not a pro at any. Its built like a good screw driver. the electronics are in a jacket like a pill which comes out when opened. So nice I think I need another to keep in the car. I have several meters but this one will get the most punishment I feel. Only thing I wished it had was a battery to test continuity without power. Ones I see are to expensive for just that part so I will make one with a micro bulb and a 1.5 AAA Battery.
Thank you for this very informative and interesting video. Once I do the rest of my homework I will choose a tester and appreciate all of your hard work.
I really appreciate you showing me how to use circuit tester. BTW, man that's one ecstatic mid engine Japanese Ferrari you have there... I am so jealous!😍
That’s a better design than my Snap-On stick test light that cost me £69 It’s only a bulb but it does have a fuse protection but I think your test light has it built into the electronics anyway, it doesn’t have a spike protector and it also doesn’t have a coiled lead. David you should pull out the electronics and show the internal build quality. But otherwise a great review.
Thanks! It’s definitely pretty cool and a barging for 20 bucks. I assumed it would have a old school fuse but it might have something else. The inside was just a small box. Not sure if I can take that apart. Thanks for watching!
You need a suitable clamp meter to measure the small currents involved. I use the UNI-T UT210E because it measures DC current down to 1mA. Google "UNI-T UT210E Mark Hennessy" and you will get a good review of it..if I post a link, TH-cam deleted the post for some reason.
Except for the ( bed of nails ) alligator clip none are manufactured very well . Clamp the smallest locking pliers ( ViseGrips ) to a ground then secure the test light’s clip to it ! 7/24/23
You connect it to ground and then touch a wire with power. Make sure your ground is a good ground and if you don’t have power to a wire, it won’t light up.

Thanks for this. Just bought a circuit tester on a whim and didn't have a clue how to use it. This video is very useful!
Glad it was helpful!

You seem like such a fun, caring guy! thanks for the amazing video dude!
Thanks so much, that means a lot to me!

🤘🏽 thanks! I appreciate it.

Thanks for watching! and thanks! it is an Acura NSX. A great car!!!
I love mine, such a good bit of kit for the price.
Nice! It is, it is a nice setup. :) Thanks for watching and commenting.

By the way David, In case you don’t recognise my avatar or name this is Clive Pluckrose. 😎
@@chl935nsx ha! I didn’t. Hello, my friend!!! 🙂🤘🏽❤️
Hi guys. Interesting tool. It hit awfully close to home😂🏎🎄
I actually thought of you when I was using it. 🙂
can i somehow use this to test a car headlight outside of the car?
No, you would need a self powered test light
can you do parasitic draw with it or can you do a video trying to find a parasitic draw
Good idea! I will look into that. Thanks!

Great idea. Thank you for sharing and watching the video. You rock!!! 🤘🏽
Can this be used to test my spark plug ignition coil on my lawn mower?
I wouldn’t recommend it. A true speak tested would be the tool to use.
Does it show the volts in the fuses to show if they are going?
Yes, if the circuit is complete the voltage will display.
I like that test but I not like the spiral cord
Would this work on a 6v positive ground 50’s Pontiac?
I’m not sure.
Where does the alligator clip connect to? I connected mine to a ground and nada happened.
You connect it to ground and then touch a wire with power. Make sure your ground is a good ground and if you don’t have power to a wire, it won’t light up.
Test your battery first
can it be used on lawn tractor battery
I don’t see why not. Just use it correctly l.
Hi probably a stupid question but I genuinely don't know do you need the ignition on or do you just earth and touch a cable with it?
Not a stupid question. You just ground it and probe a circuit. If it had power it should light up and provide the voltage reading.
What's ground it mean?@@DriversTherapy
@@smoovej88 connect it to any metal connected to the chassis/frame to ground it.
I cannot see a fuse in mine. I accidentally touched it to 120 vac.
Oh wow! Be careful! You have to unscrew the bottom to access the fuse.

❤🤘
Volcom :)
Yes!!!
You'll soon discover the "screwdriver" is too big, the cable too short, and the functionality... meh.
Do you have an alternate to recommend?
