Doesn't work with all relays

Bought this to test relays in a 2012 Jeep and 2009 VW. Many relays in automobiles have a pin assignment that is not suitable for the device. I returned it.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Big and chunky

Isn't really worth the money

This set is pretty useless. What's the point of having adapters test a fuse box with a relay attached if they don't have external pins to test with? I will be replacing this set with something better soon.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • I'll write again later

Pair of alligator clips = $100

Very cheap materials for the price. I took the unit apart (to see why it stopped working after a few months) and my educated estimate of the cost of the components can't be more than $12. The Lisle brand seems like a reasonable choice for most diagnostic tools on offer.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Some defects
