Otc 3525 and otc 3569 are the same based as what he used but I tried to buy and 3525 and all the sites I purchased from emailed back that it was out of stock. you might be able to get the 3569 but I wasnt willing to give over $200 for a kit with 14 adapters. hoe that helps

One big advantage of having the banana jack on the rope end is being able to use it with my AESwave Power/Ground adapter.


Wow I like your adapter!

Same here, sir. I bought one of the digital Snap-On lights a few years ago, and that's about the most I'll spend on a light. :lol:

Thanks, sir! It's a game changer when working under the dash. I've also got this Lisle data link connector adapter for similar purposes.

The OBD splitter is AMAZING. Any troubleshooting in car is made a million times easier with these badboys, especially since everything is plastic nowadays.

Sorry I'm late :oops:
Not bad man, not pretty, but not bad at all! I believe in function over form any day.
I wonder if a cheaper test light wouldn't have been so resistant to modification.

TRUTH. I got so tired of backprobing pin 16 or empty fuse terminals trying to find power inside. Now it's all right there!

No worries! Definitely not winning any beauty contests with this one. :pinch:

I wondering about a cheaper one... Thought about ordering one of these to experiment on, but the shank looks to be of similar quality steel. *shrug* I was also trying to pull this off on a lunch break, so I probably could have been a bit more patient during drilling and such.

Taking power out the OBDC has to be done very cautiously. I have used my OBDC breakouts mainly for a ground and putting 12v into the OBDC where coms are lost.

Much easier an cheaper to make up with one of these and take power from the cigar lighter socket, I have this one and one with a 6 metre cable.

Hey, that's what I'm talking about. B) That alligator clip looks pretty serious, too. Price is MUCH better than the OTC offerings.

Thanks, sir!
