It's a pretty cool item that works, is pretty well made and most of will use the tar out of one. It does two tasks that we are always dealing with on here as a group. Do I have power to this point? Plus how many volts do I have there I have?

I'm going to get my son one as they have horse and cattle trailers that they tow all the time and you are always testing light circuits on those along with just needing to troubleshoot. I'll have to check with my daughter to see if my son in law would like one.
In my book it is a good low buck gift for anyone into cars or trucks at any level.

I have one of those I bought yearssssssssss ago, no info but lights the bulb.
I had a 1982 chevy truck at one point and the cruise control did not work, I found the problem with it and got it working, I still use it.

I've got regular test lights everywhere, in the tool kits in most of my vehicles and in my tool box.. Unless the light is real dim they don't telll you if you have a voltage drop where you are checking meaning excess resistance in the line.

When things dry out I have too rewire the lights on the back of my 77 Flatbed 1 ton as that is the biggest mess you have ever seen. I want too sell that truck but am not putting it up for sale like that. This light should help a lot there.
