** Seen reviews of similar gadgets from the same maker now on U-tube.

In general, gimmicky, low accuracy, buggy and clunky.
Specs are not SOTA, I was kidding.
Dunno who the target market is, seems to be motorbike owners.

I remember them racing out to buy " CDI" ignition kits in the early 70s.
Was working for a store that sold them back then.....

**So, instead of a one piece multimeter solution, I have to use two
