Had one of these in my kit many years ago and it has somehow been lost. My brief search did not show it available from Snap On.

This was fast and foolproof and maxed at 600 or so amps. Best thing in the kit for diagnosing starter issues. I know some of the clamp on mulitmeters will do the same but this thing took up almost no room, had no wires or leads, and no settings or dials.
Anybody have one or know where to get one or similar. The little ones that show 30 amps or so are are of little use with starters.

Still have mine and sorry not selling, still use it. Best quick test.
 
Thanks, Randall. I did check eBay but I quit too soon after viewing several that were not guaranteed to work. I now have one coming, "Blue Point" 0 to 600 amps. Guaranteed to work. Tom
