That banana plug idea is a clever innovation, cheers!

Nice tutorial. I like how you added the flex loom sheathing. Looks great. I use the stackable banana plugs so that if you are clipped onto ground, the same ground can be used for a scope or meter without disconnecting anything. Ive also added a banana plug to a set of lockable pliers (vicegrips). Makes a great ground clamp when needed.

Sweet test light mod, Brandon! Put a stackable banana on there for Version 2.0...comes in handy :)

Ive been doin the banana jacks for years now. I like the stackable ones better myself. Really nice setup here though 👍

[colemanbonner]

Man, there’s nothing like those snap-on stripper/crimpers. It’s mind-blowing just how much better their pliers are.

Cool. That will be very useful. Thanks for sharing. On the weekend I modified a 145ma test light clamp with a small vice grip needle nose. Cheers...

Excellent!! Now u can do an indepth tutorial on when/when-no-to use a test light around 'delicate" vehicle ECUs (body, engine, or whatever).

Pretty cool idea OTC should become a sponsor

Me at the mid point of the video: I’d like to do that but I don’t want to but a bunch of parts for one test light.
Then you said the magic words: I’ll make a kit. Ha!I need a kit in red! Nice one!

[christopherryan]

Thanks for the video. I just ordered one

I just bought the OTC light with the 12 foot spiral cable, this seems a bit of an overkill, does look cool, so i suppose its what ever floats your boat.

Nice job brother thanks for sharing this

WOW YOU CAN USE PARACORD IN ANY COLOR TO MAKE THIS WIRE PROTECTOR, PULL OUT INNER STRANDS AND USE THE OUTER PART !

[marlinyoung]

Do you guys have one like that with out the spiral you lose length when you do the spiral

[jessemackenzie]

If you watch a custom keyboard cable tutorial video you will see how the reverse the coils to make the coil tighter.

[raulquezada]

Can you provide link to banana clips ?

Great vid thanks. I just bought a Strap-on incandescent test light and it came with a straight wire, which annoyed me without belief. Now I know how to resolve the problem. Awesome!! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

Speaking of modifying a test light, maybe you would know this.

I was watching one of John Annello's videos and, somewhere, he mentions having replaced the test light bulb with a small halogen bulb, which makes it draw 4 A. I've been looking all over for an halogen that would fit in a test light and can't find nothing.

Would you know what type of bulb he's referring to?
