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!😍
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.
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!
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! I appreciate it.
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.

Thanks for watching! and thanks! it is an Acura NSX. A great car!!!
Hi guys. Interesting tool. It hit awfully close to home😂🏎🎄
I actually thought of you when I was using it. 🙂
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.
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!

can i somehow use this to test a car headlight outside of the car?
No, you would need a self powered test light

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!!! 🙂🤘🏽❤️

Great idea. Thank you for sharing and watching the video. You rock!!! 🤘🏽
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
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
I like that test but I not like the spiral cord
can it be used on lawn tractor battery
I don’t see why not. Just use it correctly l.

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?
