Need advice re: testing equipment
Sarah's father does not have hardly any car repair equipment but does have
an excellent collection of tools. He has a OBD II scanner. He also has a
timing light and a device (multimeter) to test the voltage of his battery.
He also has a repair manual for the Mustang. I want to
buy him a device for less than a $100.00. What device should I buy him for
Christmas to help him figure out what is wrong if his fairly new Ford
Mustang develops a problem?

Device or devices? How about devices...
Electronic error free jumper cable $10 after rebate
Digital probe kits $15 or
Digital probe kits $0.50 homemade 400-Ohm, LED
Battery bubble ***** charge tester $6
Aligator jumper clip lead $2
Spark gap tester $16 ??
A jug of water mist $2
Compression set $15
Stethoscopes $15
Bubble gums $1
Paper clips $1
Test light $3
Ammeter $?
WD-40 $3
Acids $5
How to use these items...priceless...
I don't buy most of these, I make them. So I can't be accurate on prices. I
used to have most of these until they either got lost or stolen. And I wish
Santas sees this list so I get some too.

Re: Need advice re: testing equipment
That collection of tools include a torque wrench?
I think I'm going to finally add one to my collection of tools this year. It
will be used exclusively when repairing and maintaining my car.

I think I'm going to finally add one to my collection of tools this year. It
will be used exclusively when repairing and maintaining my car.

Harbor freight sells identical 1/2" clicking torque wrench for $12 sometimes
vs $45 at Autozone. If I were to spend $50, It'll be Craftsman. Also, a
problem with most 1/2 torque wrench is the inability to go under 10 lbs. I
keep another set for this purpose. In your case you could hook up a spring
scale.
