Useless!: Circuit Tester

These are just jumpers with alligator clips, so how could you ruin such a simple product? The small plastic covers over the clips are made of a type of plastic so smooth that it is impossible to squeeze the alligator clips to open them unless the covers are removed. I mean you are trying to squeeze the clips together and they just slide into the sleeve instead of opening. They're bone dry, but they feel like they're soaked in slime—they're incredibly slippery (whatever the material, it can be…

Good quality set when buying direct from Revain

I was a bit concerned about some of the negative reviews so I bought this set direct from Amazon to make sure I was buying the real Elenco brand and not get fake . I am happy to report that it is very satisfactory - all cables work great and appear to be of good quality. Some people have complained that the plastic is slippery - the ones I've received are a little slippery, but no more than other brands I've bought in the past. For me, that's no obstacle - not even close. In addition, all jaws…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Empty

20 Gauge “Consumable” Kit

That's them; a small wire (gauge 20 if you look at the received wire) made from an alligator's skin. Colors help to keep order.

I'm splicing a star because I was hoping for a stronger set and nowhere in the Amazon description is the gauge of the wire listed. I trusted the "hype" that they were number one when it came to selling a thing or two, but if I had…

Pros
  • Rugged Construction
Cons
  • Non-Automatic

3 out of 10 not very good

So I got these results to complete some testing of solar lights that were not working well in my garden. When I first connected the wires to see if the solar cell was producing voltage or enough to charge the batteries, I was surprised that they were low. However, I was sure they generated some activity in bright sunlight, so I started checking the wires for continuity. To my surprise, only three wires were electrically connected to the alligator clips, even though the wires were crimped firmly

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • I will add later
