Came across this the other week watching some scannerdanner videos and thought it was interesting.

I would never pay 200 bucks for one but thought it was neat. Very similar to this from cal van, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EP8O7FC/?tag=atomicindus08-20

It is very cool but a jumper wire is way cheaper.

Right, I would never pay 200 for it. Just thought it was interesting and had it's uses. More of a break out box. The wire for the amp clamp could come in handy.

I want one but is just to much$$ for what it is. will used it very few times a year been using a jumper wire and relay without a cap it has work for me all these years. I think the lisle version is much cheaper and has good reviews may buy that one instead when ever they are in sale or used in ebay.

The lisle ones are pretty nice. I watched for some on ebay for a while and there wasn't much and the few used sets that popped up went for almost new prices after shipping.

If you specialize in electrical diagnostics I can see it being worth it, regardless of how cheap it may be to make. Seems like a good time saver especially if its a circuit that requires on/off switching.

That's what I've seen in scannerdanner videos, he uses his to turn things on and off for one man testing.

I think if I specialized in electrical diagnostics I would have every tool that may or may not help me do the job easier! That video by scnnerdanner someone posted the other day at the end he showed a view of all the tools he had been using laid out. Bunch of stuff to figure out a misfire!
