Twice today. Did a reversing aid on a Chevy/Daewoo 4 x M6 inside and now no knuckles either + 10 x 7mm outside, that's just the bits behind the rear wheel arch, plus another 5 Philips and 4 push-ins!
Never ever seen such a fiddly car.

Ordered up a circuit buddy and it was shipped out today. Should have it Tuesday. Is it wrong to get excited over new tools?!?! haha

Got my circuit buddy today. Can't wait to do my next starter.. haha. But that might be a few days. I'm in the process of putting a complete new heating system in my garage. My uncle-in-law gave me an almost new 95% efficient 80,000BTU forced air furnace for free so I'm converting it to propane and setting it up in the garage. Should be a nice addition over the crappy (and very inefficient) electric heater.

I have a multimeter I use 100% of the time on customer vehicles, but I have an actual power probe brand power probe I use exclusively on my 68 beetle I am rebuilding because I am not to concerned about tripping an air bag or a computer lol. Its real useful when I am testing things like lights and switches on that car. With that said I could use it on customer vehicles being they have breakers built into them, they have a meter and they have the test lights on them, however I don't like the amount of wire that they have connected to them, gets in the way half the time.

I tend to feel that for experienced pros, there's no right or wrong.
With due precautions, e.g. I will use a DMM if I suspect I'm probing a DATA wire, use what you are used to.
