This new car Circuit Tester from VDIAGTOOL is an impressive piece of kit and priced on Amazon at £39.96 (before current discounts) it will certainly not break the bank.
In the rather low-end box was the device itself, a positive/negative probes set, a crocodile clip, and a well written and easy to read User Guide. I include a scan of the User Guide at the end of my unboxing video, switch to full screen and pause as needed to read it.
The circuit tester is largely made of ABS plastic but the build quality feels good and is robust enough for workshop use, although it is a pity no case was included. The main control is a large turret selector which a good positive feel to it with a distinct audible click with new selection and is firm enough to make accidental selections unlikely. Powered by two AA batteries (not included) the unit has a large LCD status screen with a selectable 30-second backlight and features an alert beeper when readings are made and will power down after twenty minutes without use.
Although designed for use in the garage, in fact, it can just as well be used for general electronic testing in the home or elsewhere as all the usual features are supported. It has non-contact AC Voltage Sensor with Diode test; Load test; Multimeter voltage function; Voltage test; Resistance test; Continuity test; Data hold; Auto power OFF; LCD Display with 1999 counts; Maximum value hold; Sound and flash alarms; Frequency /duty cycle. This is a four-in-one product with the usual functions of multimeter (voltage, resistance, diode, buzzer. etc.), test lamp, lighting lamp and probe. It also features a voltage drop function for detecting bad contact or aging wires is included. It has a built-in selectable work lamp to help when using the probe in poorly lit or shadowed areas and a non-contact feeler for testing voltage without access to a terminal or wire stripping.
It works within AC voltage 199.mv to 750v parameters, and DC voltage 199.9mv to 1000v. It will measure Resistance between 199.0Ω and 19.99mΩ. The switching rate is e times per second.
The included User Guide is excellent but it is a guide to the equipment and not how to use it. To get the best from this product you will need a good prior knowledge of vehicle electrics. The User Guide assumes the reader will have such knowledge.
This is an excellent product and will be an excellent addition to the garage or home toolkit. It works well and is easy to use and at a price that belies its many advanced functions.
