I regularly restore cars and work on troubleshooting vehicle electrical issues. Often times I get the call after everybody else has given up and on several obscure cars I have worked on, there have been no schematics of the cars' wiring harnesses. Of the cars I have built or restored several have been sold at the Barrett-Jackson auctions.

I normally pay about - for a decent digital multi-meter so why would I pay over 0 for a digital multi-meter? After buying the unit I had a lot of buyer's remorse before the unit even arrived. It showed up in a couple of days and Wow - what a surprise. I hooked it up and followed a few network configuration settings on the iPad and suddenly I was reading voltage on a battery sitting 15-20 feet away. A strange grin came over my face as I realized just how cool and useful this device and software are. There are several reasons why this unit is a bargain: #1 on my iPad 2 the RedFish unit gives me a display digit size of almost ¾ ...
