    recommend a DC current amp clamp for my fluke.

    Flukes amp clamps are expensive. Is there one that would work for testing alternator, starter and wire outputs down to 5 amps? Cost is some what of a consideration.

    15 x 24 unusual build from Netherlands

    Strange truss work. Guess it gets so cold, they have to build on pilings to prevent the garage from sinking into the permafrost.

    Stupid Question: Is it safe to park a wet car over a scissor lift?

    done it all the time when car came in wet or packed with snow under car. Best advice is if you have coating on the floor, make sure you have anti slip boots on. Also, have a air hose to blow off all the water under the car or you will get wet from dripping water or snow falling on you.
