    show us your battery tool storage ideas

    Since we have a lot of scrap 1x6 pine boards laying around the shop, I modified the PVC idea a bit to use the free materials. Somehow I don't have an in-service picture but I do still have the sketch. The sides and dividers are cut at a 15° angle on the miter saw, so the tool sort of "drops in"...

    AMP Clamp for Automotive?

    As a very happy owner of a Fluke DMM, I agree with FigureItOut that your best bet for automotive purposes is the Uni-T.

    Under hood light recommendation

    I recently picked up a Saber (ATD Tools) corded LED light. I really like it. They have a couple of different versions, including a corded/cordless kit. Look for ATD-80355. They have similar construction, with large padded hooks that extend and rotate. I've had mine under the hood of a Ford...
