Nice, but at $80, I'll pass.

Here you go.
Not quite as fancy as the other one but it's only $7.99.
It was $3.99 the last time it was on sale.

The way I read it the tool is an adapter to plug into the fuse block
to measure current. It replaces a fuse. It would be very handy for
troubleshooting some of the mysterious battery drain problems.

That cheap multi-meter can only measure current up to .2A. Not very handy
for circuits flowing several Amps or more. While a multi-meter is a must,
in this instance it can't directly sub for the fuse-buddy.

Measuring any current isn't an issue. Having a meter that won't blow
the darn fuse when they measure 240 volts on the 2 volt scale is. This
meter is halfway there. It is almost cheaper to throw the meter away
and replace it than fix it.
I might just invest in a dozen next time the price goes down. Thanks!

number that I used to hand out to clients that did not have a meter on
board. The neat thing is that then when they called I could say "Get
out the meter and . . . ."

A friend bought a dozen on a deal where they were $2/each. He gives
them out to people that come over to work on their auto's electrical
system (he hosts a DIY shop for Audi's)
I bought a bunch and keep one in each vehicle, in the trailer, in the
barn, in the shop, in the radio/computer room. Any where I might need
one.
The engineers in my old office all bought two (at $2 each). We bought
more for quick testing all over.
Harbor Freight's insane sale prices on these make them almost a
requirement to own

Just be sure to keep lilly fresh batteries in the meters. I bought a
couple of those HF units for the same reason. Checked 'em against my
meter calibrator. Read within 1% with a fresh battery. Read 2 volts
low at 12 volts a bit before the low battery indication comes on.
