i saw it in a MAC flyer on sale for the same price as that. i would have bought that a long time ago if i had known it was available.

Yeah these are looking super handy for the next couple of projects I'm doing considering both require a decent amount of wiring. I'm gonna have to buy a set.

 

[Basskiller]

Talk about a timesaver. Those could make life a little more easy.

 

[Big Bad Jon]

I think I will get a set too. Oh **** I just bought another box of paperclips.

 

[WhiffySpark]

These are so much easier than paperclips lol

 

[wellstig1]

The definitely make things easier. I got mine for 50 also, couldn't bring myself to pay the tool truck 50% mark up and then sales tax.

 

[Billin21]

Sold 2 of those today, Would've sold more but only had 2 in stock

 

[Mickey O]

Very neat, I've been testing the hard way like a sucker for far too long. Actually I don't run across enough automotive type relays to justify the purchase (unless I find a cheap one somewhere), but it's a brilliant idea.

 

[tw33k2514]

Ordered, thanks Krusty

 

[pearl_dude]

These look like real time savers, thanks!

 

[Fedwrench]

Yeah, lisle just came out with those recently. I'm sure they'll be a big seller.

I debated buying these a while back when they were on sale............

I read through a few of the comments in this thread and the overall vibe I get is positive. I just might have to "keep up with the Jones'" and get a set.

Of course, to a customer, it looks a lot more technical and stuff when you're fussing with test leads and wires.

Now that I know, you mechanics won't fool me

 

[bmwpower]

Are these things fused in case you screw up?

 

[Stick]

No, but your wiring going to the relay or junction box should be, even if you installed it aftermarket. It's good wiring practice to run a circutbreaker or fuse on the supply side anyway.

 

[Hawk321]

Can I test new relays with an IC in front the coil??? Had an issue with that, as I put voltage to the coil. On the relay box is a chip printed in the front of the coil...blowed it.

 

[Danglerb]

I'm not sure I see the magic here, can somebody take some better pictures. Seems like they just have access points for four types of relay. Handful of homemade M/F jumpers and you should have every type of relay covered.

 

[Fedwrench]

no, but this company has fused relay shorting plugs should you want them.

True, no magic just a cure for laziness. Some Techs will ****** up any ready made test adapter to speed electronic testing. I've seen other techs use modified relays with test points accessible from the top. These are just already made.
Waekon came out with a set of jumpers you like you mentioned back in 2005.

It's just a timesaver, no magic. I test relays the hard way all the time, I'll have a set of those soon. Thanks Krusty.
My boss sent us to an electrical troubleshooting class a couple of years ago. The instructor told us to keep a couple of relays on hand with the case removed so you can manually activate the contacts to check the vehicles wiring. Works great!

thats exactly why i posted this......i have been using homemade jumpers with a circuit breaker for years to test relays, but with this setup you can test on a live circuit. it will definately be a faster way.

The last relay I had to test, was my own, in a parking lot at the hardwood store. Had VERY intermitant issues with it, and when I had metered it out earlier, it checked fine. With jumper leeds, I could add power and once in a while it wouldn't click. Changed it and no more problems.

How well would these work with intermitant ones?


(side of the road testing, thankfully so many relays are the same today)

 

[krusty the clown]

it just gives you access to the terminals, testing for an intermittant will be a matter of catching it when it fails.

Sold 10 the past week alone. Im all out till the next order
