Hi

I have a full set of Snap-On tools, but this one has been used far more than any other, for electrical problems > http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SNAP-ON-BL...item1c210beaa4

Apologies for the Ebay link but only picture/description I can find at the moment (no affiliation)

Its a BRILLIANT tool.....called a power probe....

All the best Brett

I have more in tools purchased since my second 928 than I paid for it. I have more in goop, sprays, dips, antisieze, loctite, than all the tools I had previous to it.

For all your tool addiction needs try, http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4 Second most expensive forum I've ever visited.

Current top of my shopping list, Double box end metric flex ratcheting deep spline long pattern wrenches.

O-ring pick set, contact cleaner, 3/8" pneumatic ratchet wrench, die grinder/dremmel tool, a flashlight you can hold between your teeth (do this only when alone) - I recommend Streamlight, and an LED rechargeable shoplight.

Just being an ***, you need Nothing more than the tools provided in the hatch area. Major credit card, cell phone, and AAA membership.
