Today's tool of the day is a multimeter. It is a fairly basic tester for electrical current. This tool can be used for detecting issues and troubleshooting bad connections.

The lights on our trailer stopped working and I used a multimeter to track down where the electrical current was broken. Turned out to be this box connected to the car. Ordered a new one and voila issue fixed.

No idea how much fiat it would have taken to fix through a mechanic. My multimeter and I fixed it for $40 + tax.

my favorite tool, after the hammerπŸ”¨πŸ’€πŸ˜‚

What about the speargun?

You have a point, I think I was wrong

Crescent wrench, Multimeter and an air compressor are the most important tools on our farm

Sounds about right.

I'm thinking a shop would charge about $200ish for that fix.

Although in BC everything is more expensive.

You should have included an Amazon affiliate link in your post because after I read this, I went to Amazon and purchased one. πŸ˜†

Which one did you get?

I got this one. While it's probably not the best, I couldn't pass up the price. 😁

Are you telling me I missed out on a commission? Damn it!

I think you will be happy with it.

Thanks for inspiring me to buy one.
