Anyone using a fuse buddy from ESI?

Yes I know I can use my fluke meter but I thought kits ESI have are pretty cool and I love to spend money on tools lol.

From what I can tell the 310 kit is the most complete? Which one do you guys have?

I have a knock off version of those, have not used it in a long time. I don't see a ton of value in the product. I'll typically use circuit breakers for a short, or a lab scope to inspect the circuit further.

I have similar but never use it to be honest, prefer a current clamp on a fuse loop or regular multimeter set to Amps

I have the "Maxi" version or whatever you can use in place of large fuses. Purchased off tool truck for too much money. Rarely use vs standard meter or amp clamp. Has been handy a couple times for a quick check to see if a large draw is present...

I have a set of these fuse connectors. Took a spare set of multimeter leads and put 1/4" female spade connectors on the ends for attaching to the fuse connectors.

There's a larger set of those as well, with some of the modern/******** design fuses included.

Those an a fuse holder with spade connectors are my favorite for general testing.

I have the older pro version with the maxi fuse thas has atc, atm end adapters. The adapters fell apart and the cable developed a bad spot giving bad readings. I am mobile so it it gets bumped around, then it turns on and kill the battery. Continually having to steal batteries from something to use it.

I splurged on fluke clamp meter to replace it. I needed higher than 30a amps quite often anyway. Got the yellow gtc thingies and made loops. I one these days I will get the nice fuse loops from aes wave.
