Saves time.... and time is money!
This seems like a lot of money for such a simple device. It doesn't seem particularly well built or "heavy duty"... but enough of what it "seems".
This is super easy to use and paid for itself the first time I used it. I repair a lot of old Arcade Game monitors. Due to their age, this can be very time consuming. I was able to locate a bad capacitor in about 2 minutes that was causing the problem. Saved me at least an hour of recapping the entire board and troubleshooting. In addition to the time I saved, I didn't have to spend money on parts and shipping or beat my head on the wall figuring it all out. It has been invaluable not just in troubleshooting but verifying the quality of the parts I am putting INTO the monitors... especially when those parts are "old stock"...
The leads are alligator clips which have worked out fine. I think a "tweezer like" set of probes would be easier for testing components while "in circuit" but the tips of the clips are exposed enough that I haven't felt the need to buy or build an in-circuit probe.
It feels "cheap" due to its light weight. I have dropped it on a concrete floor at least 3 times without a single scratch so it is definetly better built than it feels in your hand. And if it had broken.... I wouldn't have hesitated to buy another!
