I am currently using a computer safe test light called The Probe. It plugs into the cigarette lighter, its black with a thin needle probe, a curly cord, a red light for 12volts, and a green light for ground. I love this thing but its getting old and worn. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me where I can get a new one. Is the company still active?

I bought mine from MAC tools about a year ago. It just like you describe. It says "THE PROBE" on the light. It comes in a plastic case. It was about 60 dollars with shipping. I think its hands down the best test light I've evr owned. Thank god it wasnt damaged when my garagw was flooded last month by Hurrucane Katrina. It was one of my few tools i was able to salvage.

You guys are nuts for using that thing. I've witnessed an airbag explosion by that thing first hand.
Tell the Snap-On guy I'm not here!

I read on a post (that I responded to as well) someone wrote, QUOTE 

it's a poor musician who blames his instrument.....

i've installed dozens and dozens of units with this sensor and had no problems....it's just a matter of paying attention to what you are doing.....

In this post I agree with this statement... I use a power probe, one of those circuit safe pistol grip lights, a DMM from astroflex (multitest 2), and a standard DMM. I have been installing for over 22 years...The only time I have ever seen a mishap with a test light, was from an installer with an attitude, NOT paying attention!

Well, I only just got my first test light that was computer friendly and apart from my first mishap  found here.... https://www.the12volt.com/installbay/forum_posts.asp?tid=65185&tpn=1

It's been a great little instrument. It's makes it easy searching for the RPM lead...when it flashes it's little heaert out I know I've found the jackpot!
