The quality of the leads is decent for the price
4/5

This is a good price for the quality of the leads but nothing special. The alligator clips are a step above satisfactory, but I would like to see more attention paid to them. Vinyl is the material I use for mine. Though I use them a lot, I prefer soft neoprene boot covers that are easily manipulable. I will replace the clips in the event of a worst case scenario. There is a third lead added to this purchase, so that is why this purchase was made. I am planning to hot glue magnets on the back of this model because it did not come with the magnetic backing. If you have a motor home or a big rig, you should have no issue working on a 24 volt system with your set, but I will be using it for 12 volt automotive work. However, it doesn't seem like the retractor will be able to take much abuse, which is why I am very cautious about using it. My only mistake has been underestimating the length. I have to take responsibility for that, and Since I usually find these to be a bit short for some scenarios, especially troubleshooting trailer tail lights, you may want to consider the longer set. Buying long sets is the way to go to buy from Lang!.

I'll thank you later if you purchase this and throw it in your tool box
5/5

Is that okay? Getting these out of the tool box of my son (a diesel mechanic) was not an accident. In his mother's 1957 MGA I was setting the timing. The timing mark is under the car, so yeah you lay under the front bumper with the engine running and point the timing light up in the engine. The MGA has its battery under the back seat, like a few other cars. To power the timing light, I had to clip the cable on the fuse box in the engine compartment, but the cable was too short for that. When I found this equipment in his tool box while looking for a set of cables to power the timing light, I went into his tool box for more cables. In a nutshell, I used them to power the timing light, set the timing, put them away, and got online to discover where they were. The books can be found at Amazon. I ordered them and added them to my toolbox as soon as possible. It won't matter if I borrow his now or not since I will need them again.

It is a must-have for a technician
5/5

The electrical circuit tester is essential if you work with cars, tractors, or anything with electrical circuits that are more than 5 feet long. A car diagnostic tool that uses three very long test leads can be incredibly useful for diagnosing electrical problems. Furthermore, they can also be very valuable when performing electrical work on manufacturing equipment or anything else larger than that which can be reached by your multimeter leads. A technician must have this in his or her toolbox. The product appears to work flawlessly with no errors that I can find. When rolling up the wires, keep them clean and in good condition by wiping them as you roll them up if they have been exposed to dust or greasy environments. It takes a lot of effort to press down on the clips.

The test lead set up is of high quality and really makes the test stand out
5/5

I think it is a good setup for tracing down electrical problems. It allows me to stay organized when tracking them down. It is still advisable that you get a retractable test lead tool with longer reach instead of this particular tool due to the fact that it sometimes falls short of its ten foot reach, but this is all due to my own choice, since I selected the 10 foot reach. This is a good product with good quality, and it does what it is supposed to.

Is it corroded? The test leads look different from what I would expect for a new set of tests

For mechanics, it is a must-have
5/5

It was mentioned in one review that was unsatisfactory. For mechanics, it is a must-have. There is one review complaining about the vinyl boots, but for how much they cost, and to have them tangle free when you need them, they're definitely These are the 3 that I bought The magnetic is one of these and the other two are both electric. The only way to obtain longer leads is to use single-page ads, as one reviewer did Lead the way.

I love it
5/5

Amazing. One of the best things I've ever seen. Whenever I could, I used to make my own test leads, but this is the most economical way to do it.

The quality is quite high and the length is very long
5/5

With its roller design, the cart is easy to put away. I'm in love with This device is used to diagnose bad connections and grounds on vehicles all the time. Whenever I need to isolate hard electrical parts, I use it to determine whether or not they have failed. Excellent product, easy to use and clean up, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.
