Electrical System Tools

As vehicles have gotten more and more complicated, the times when a piece of wire and a 12V bulb were all we needed to test the electrical system of a vehicle have sunk into oblivion. Today's vehicles require specific electrical service tools to be serviced and maintained properly. To fulfill your service needs we have collected best-in-class electrical service tools from the most reputed manufacturers in the United States and all over the world. On our digital shelves you'll find numerous testers, multimeters, and terminal tools, as well as other testing tools and equipment.

All electrical service equipment can be divided into three main groups, such as general service tools, specialty tools and various diagnostic testers. Each of the categories is optimized for a specific list of tasks and require different skills and knowledge. For example, some specialty and diagnostic equipment calls for deep understanding of electrical theory, physics, and electronics, which why it is mainly used by professional technicians, whereas, general service tools are popular among do-it-yourselfers and can be found in just about any garage.

General electrical service tools allow the user to perform a wide range of tests. Besides, they are universal, which makes it possible to use them on different vehicles. General tools include various multimeters, battery load testers, and so on. They provide a good foundation for more complex tests, however, in many cases allow the user to find out the root of the problem without using specialized equipment. No matter whether you're a professional technician or do-it-yourselfer, general electrical service tools are the perfect way to start with when building your own collection, and the very first tool you should begin with is a multimeter. This tool is capable of performing plenty of tests, including AC and DC current measurements, diode testing and many more.

Specialty and diagnostic testers are usually complicated equipment, which complexity arises from the purpose they serve. Unlike most general service equipment allows the user to perform a wide range of tasks using just one tool, specialty and diagnostic testers are designed to perform one or two specific tests, providing the user with all possible answers of what is wrong with his or her vehicle. Obviously, most specialty and diagnostic tools are not in use every day, however, on the occasions when you need them, they will be of great help. Specialty and diagnostic tools are often the last word when it comes to replacing expensive vehicle components, so it is great to have them in your collection of electrical system tools, especially, if you're a professional technician.
