[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 537837, member: 23472"] I understand what you are saying, but I would not use those small crocodile clips. (They are great on small wires/connecting to wires on bread board) but anything too big and they often jump off, also with nothing special multi meters, they are not designed to contain an explosion (The fuse can explode if there is an error) whereas better quality meters are designed with safety in mind, also the probes are often too long (You hold it on one terminal and it also touches a wire that it shouldn't and........... You would be better off buying a proper recognised tester. I have one (sometimes it better than my expensive kit) I have [URL='https://amzn.to/3BMg6Gl']This one[/URL] (Click the link) and it even has a continuity tester too. [/QUOTE]
