Digital Circuit Tester Review - "BEST TEST LIGHT?!?!"

[@ifixeditmyself1926]

Thanks for sharing this tool!

[@DriversTherapy]

Thanks for checking it out!!!

[@blutey]

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!

[@DriversTherapy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@wallebo]

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.

[@DriversTherapy]

🤘🏽 thanks! I appreciate it.

[@_rose_Hyperthread]

You seem like such a fun, caring guy! thanks for the amazing video dude!

[@DriversTherapy]

Thanks so much, that means a lot to me!

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.

can i somehow use this to test a car headlight outside of the car?

[@DriversTherapy]

No, you would need a self powered test light

[@andrewtaylor3811]

Can this be used to test my spark plug ignition coil on my lawn mower?

[@DriversTherapy]

I wouldn’t recommend it. A true speak tested would be the tool to use.

[@policethepolice4794]

Does it show the volts in the fuses to show if they are going?

[@DriversTherapy]

Yes, if the circuit is complete the voltage will display.

[@johnjohnson6647]

can you do parasitic draw with it or can you do a video trying to find a parasitic draw

[@DriversTherapy]

Good idea! I will look into that. Thanks!

[@peterevans8194]

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, KZbin deleted the post for some reason.

Would this work on a 6v positive ground 50’s Pontiac?

[@DriversTherapy]

I’m not sure.

[@Saved0316]

Where does the alligator clip connect to? I connected mine to a ground and nada happened.

[@DriversTherapy]

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.

[@DriversTherapy]

Test your battery first

[@KTiger45]

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!😍

[@DriversTherapy]

Thanks for watching! and thanks! it is an Acura NSX. A great car!!!

[@johnstratton5637]

can it be used on lawn tractor battery

[@DriversTherapy]

I don’t see why not. Just use it correctly l.

[@duncanmatthews1654]

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?

[@DriversTherapy]

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.

[@smoovej88]

What's ground it mean?​@@DriversTherapy

[@lakesgames8402]

@@smoovej88 connect it to any metal connected to the chassis/frame to ground it.

[@careyautorepairs]

I love mine, such a good bit of kit for the price.

[@DriversTherapy]

Nice! It is, it is a nice setup. :) Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@vicpetrishak7705]

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

[@DriversTherapy]

Great idea. Thank you for sharing and watching the video. You rock!!! 🤘🏽

[@drakebonnellbonnell9045]

Hi guys. Interesting tool. It hit awfully close to home😂🏎🎄

[@DriversTherapy]

I actually thought of you when I was using it. 🙂

[@daved2143]

I like that test but I not like the spiral cord

[@chl935nsx]

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.

[@DriversTherapy]

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!

[@chl935nsx]

By the way David, In case you don’t recognise my avatar or name this is Clive Pluckrose. 😎

[@DriversTherapy]

@@chl935nsx ha! I didn’t. Hello, my friend!!! 🙂🤘🏽❤️

[@emconsultant]

I cannot see a fuse in mine. I accidentally touched it to 120 vac.

[@DriversTherapy]

Oh wow! Be careful! You have to unscrew the bottom to access the fuse.

Yes!!!

[@zbigniewrichard8291]

You'll soon discover the "screwdriver" is too big, the cable too short, and the functionality... meh.

Do you have an alternate to recommend?
