Ricky49 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 How much do you want to spend. I got my brother in law one for £40 from a electrical wholesalers. I use a Fluke one at work which cost £180 both do the same job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon5698 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 You can either buy one of the test lamp terminal screw drivers for a couple of quid, or you could buy a cheap multi meter for about £20, both of these will do for what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantasupra Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 have a multi meter but found it to hard to hold leads and meter with me head tucked in the dash. so i thought i try the pen type or somthing easy to hold/use. its hard work trying to get your head by the accelerator pedal to check wiring with your legs dangling out the door. thanks b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edge Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Machine mart/ebay do some for about £5 that will do the trick and may come in handy for other stuff aswel. My £5 i keep as a spare in the van for when my £700 gets dropped in a bath like the last 3 i got through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
