    Compressor amp rating?

    My hot tub is on a 50-amp GFCI breaker. Maybe a local dealer could point you in a direction.

    How do I use DVM to test for power at the taillight bulb socket ?

    Is that an affiliate link? With a DVM you'll want to check for voltage, not current. A $10 incandescent test light is the best tool to use, since it'll show that there's enough voltage and current to (you know) actually light a bulb.

    A question for the multimeter specialists....

    Yep - you're right. Looks like their only purpose is not poking holes in the carry bag or keeping the "needle tip" sharp.

    A question for the multimeter specialists....

    I'm not sure if it's true, but I've heard the probes are considered CAT-IV with the caps, CAT-II without.

    Question about installing a hot tub and pouring a pad.

    We did this last year. I didn't pull permits or use licensed contractors, so I don't know if what I did was right, but here is my experience. We didn't tie into the existing foundation. My house is ~30 years old, so most of the settling has already occured. I know the the new slab is going...

    Ryan String Trimmer

    Here's a picture of a Ryan lawn mower bag. If you look at the bottom it says "Product Group of Outboard Marine Corporation" As far as fuel/oil mixture, 40:1 with modern oil will be fine.

    It's been years since I've seen one. As I recall, they were a 2nd brand for Lawn-Boy.

    Measuring DC Voltage

    Uni-T UT-61E connected to a laptop would do it, although you may need to power the meter from an external source.

    Anyone else lube their ratchet with 5w20

    Multimeter suggestion?

    I like the Uni-T UT210E for home game use. All the current measurement is done through the clamp, so there's no way to hook the probes up wrong. It's a lot of meter for the money.

    How do you test if power is reaching a window motor?

    This problem is the textbook use for a Power Probe. As long as the motor is unplugged from the vehicle, there's no way to cause damage.

    What tool kit to buy from the Snap-On student excellence program?

    It costs more than my current car.

    What does Power Probe 3 do that $10 worth of jumper wires can't ?

    A couple other things I like about the power probe that I like (I have the PP2, not 3): 1) It has a built in circuit breaker, in case you get a little too agressive with the thumb switch and hit the wrong thing or accidently short the probe tip on something. 2) It can act like a logic probe...
