This has two functions selected with momentary push buttons: continuity where the pitch of the tone varries with resistance between the test leads from high pitch at 0 ohms, to a relatively low buzz at maybe a few hundred K ohms. Voltage with two ranges I think 0-12 and 0-40 volts. Although you don't get exact measurements, you get relative voltage indications and very fast response so you can hear voltage drops when applying a load to a circuit to help find shorts etc. The tonetest is very well made with test leads of good quality flexible cable ending in nice big solid brass aligator clips. It's about $90.00 but if you want a sturdy electrical trouble shooter for a lot of hard work, it can't be beat. get it from Dave Reynolds at [EMAIL PROTECTED] There is also the only inexpensive talking volt/multi meter I know of from marlin P. Jones Associates: http://www.mpja.com look in test equipment,digitla multi-meters and the multimeter with speech is about top. It's $45.00 with shipping and is adequate for casual use, but missing high current ranges which a mechanic might well need. We'll think of more stuff.
