For a while now I've wanted to "standardize" my homemade electrical tools. Over the years I've made adapters and what not to test something electrical. From my homemade fuse saver(light bulb, thanks Stick!) to my trailer light tester, etc. There was a couple times where I needed a fuse holder or lighter plug or something else for more then one project. So instead of buying more and having redundancy I decided to make my own "plug and play" type of parts and adapters.
I ordered some weather pack connectors from ebay and made up a few adapters. So now I can grab the trailer light tester and either put a lighter plug or battery clamps on it so it can be hooked into the jump pack or a spare battery. Also made an adapter with an inline fuse holder that I can add to whatever I'm doing. Made an extension cable. Also made some banana jacks so I can plug them into my meter and then hook up to lighter plug to test voltage drop from inside car while cranking, or hook up to alligator clips and clamp to battery. I have a bunch of other things I want to make up also, alligator clips of different sizes, spade terminals, banana jacks, etc.
