Another question to add to my OP is - does anyone know of a local shop in Dunedin central that sells these? can prob just send someone to go buy one for the workshop during the day tomorrow.. I'm on trademe atm but nothing in Dunedin listed..

not sure how to search for shops who would sell such a thing..

chur, don't think I'll spend my time ringing everyone in town tho

work can buy one or figure it out themselves.

suprised no one has one in the tool box tho - everyone at the track has one or two haha. I think I'll buy one on tradies now for next time its needed, they are cheap as shit

**DrunkenMistake** · 22nd August 2013, 18:26

All else fails I know countdown have one hahaha

**Fast Eddie** · 22nd August 2013, 18:36

I dunno.. borrowing a tool from a supermarket, feels wierd.

I got one of these (similar at least) worked sweet for last 5 years or so. Used it for everything from playing with the cat with the lazer (bettery hasnt been replaced yet) to cpu and engine temp monitoring it was also handy to sus out a regulator rectifier that was failing thermally (worked until it went beyond a certain temp)
