Hello! I produce small electric load tester, I can send one free to you. If you like it, I would like you to advertise it. Thank you!
Everyone has a phone nowdays. Got leads for phone and downloaded app for vom😊
voltage does not kill you.
1/2 amp will !😢
Concise and easy to follow. Exactly what I was looking for: Is there power? Can electricity flow? Does electricity flow?
Thanks for this explanation. Just what I needed for the volts and amperage testing. I got a little lost on the ohm test as the video indicated you had changed the red led position and dial toa particular setting which you didn’t explain. But a great vid all the same
Vdiagtool V200 PRO works great for checking if a circuit has both power and ground.
