    Right? I missed that part, but I'll 3d print something, or just use the fancy cardboard box.

    No, I don't, that might be a handy thing for sure. I have so many usb cables, it NEVER fails, I'll grab one that is power only, then I spend time trying to figure out why my gadget won't gadget...I'm planning on sitting in front of the TV with the old lady, and going thru every USB cable I have, and chucking out the power only ones. Or, at least sticking them in a separate box at the back of the closet... Thanks for watching!

    I'm curious how gas station USB cables would do with this tester.

    Does it do a good job of determining a gas station usb cable? Cheap device for all the functionality it has. Thanks for the video Jim! 73

    HA! It will tell you that gas station cable ain't got no data line. That's a win, son!

    That would come in very handy if you have a bunch of cables around. However it doesn't tell you how good the cable is, just continuity. Plus the chart not showing the pin order from the board is not good.

    Important safety tip - don't cut zip ties off cable bundles with a knife.
