Both the links you put in come up for me as "item not availible", but I think you got the idea. The reason I like my "wiggy" (if that's what you wanna call it!) is because like you said, it's a pocket item...a multimeter actually does a better job, but I want to carry all the neccessary tools to the work area in 2 trips or less, & when I open up the vipers' pit & need to figure out which of the snakes might bite me, I don't have a third hand to juggle the 'meter & its two leads
