Yep, very handy devices. I've used mine frequently to show other MG owners
that there gauge is wrong and their motor is fine. Also use it on track
days to measure tire temps to better air them. Audi is track car, not
MG...yet.
In the last 4 years I figure I've gotten $45 of use as I paid $85
then...still on the original battery btw. Glad to see the prices are coming
down.
Safety Fast!
