Thank you sir! Can’t wait to see yours put together.

Nice tutorial. I like how you added the flex loom sheathing. Looks great. I use the stackable banana plugs so that if you are clipped onto ground , the same ground can be used for a scope or meter without disconnecting anything. Ive also added a banana plug to a set of lockable pliers (vicegrips). Makes a great ground clamp when needed.

Perhaps try some heat & abrasion resistant woven ceramic sleeve. Never used it on a test light, but I've covered a lot of wiring near headers, etc.

Cool. That will be very useful. Thanks for sharing. On the weekend I modified a 145ma test light clamp with a small vice grip needle nose. Cheers...

Ive been doin the banana jacks for years now. I like the stackable ones better myself. Really nice setup here though 👍

That’s an excellent idea.

I just bought the OTC light with the 12 foot spiral cable, this seems a bit of an overkill, does look cool, so i suppose its what ever floats your boat.

Man, there’s nothing like those snap-on stripper/crimpers. It’s mind-blowing just how much better their pliers are.

Great vid thanks. I just bought a Strap-on incandescent test light and it came with a straight wire, which annoyed me without belief. Now I know how to resolve the problem. Awesome!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻 Speaking of modifying a test light, maybe you would know this. I was watching one of John Annello's videos and, somewhere, he mentions having replaced the test light bulb with a small halogen bulb, which makes it draw 4 A. I've been looking all over for an halogen that would fit in a test light and can't find nothing. Would you know what type of bulb he's referring to?

Shoot me an email to jarheaddiagnostics@gmail.com and we can discuss stuff.

that conduit is a pain in the butt to slide over cord ha!

Left you a message on website under contact information. Did you get it? It was about how you have the KIT for this project priced then when you click on w or w/out test light the price is the same. I'm guess the with and without is if we want a test light already made up vs not made up?? Maybe you can clear that up plus the price before a with or without is selected. Just need the parts for it otherwise I'll check with Carlos @ aeswave a they make leads custom so my guess is they have some parts as well. Whether I have to buy in large qty is another question though. I also left a phone message at the phone number listed on your website.
