Car Electricial Tools

OK this is quite a basic list of car electricial tools.

Older classic cars are generally straight forward, newer cars can be a nightmare. I tend to leave the more complicated and even not so complicated stuff to an auto electrician.

However I have listed a few useful tools below.


Battery Charger

Many batteries nowadays are supposedly maintenance free and some are even sealed units. But having a battery charger is always a handy thing to have lying around, especially if you have a car that only gets used now and again.

Hydrometer

Wire Crimper

Multimetre/Autoranger

A multimetre can measure voltage, current and resistance, get one that measures at least 20 amps. The Autoranger is a multifunction electrical test meter, which has a tachometer, dwell meter, hi-lo voltage, current and resistance reader.

Tachostrobe
Tachostrobe
Used for checking the engines ignition timing. This one used to belong to my dad. Older cars didn't have the advantage of electronics to help them maintain good engine management, nowadays the engines management system can retard or advance the ignition timing as required.
