Electronic Specialties Diagnostic & Testing Tools

The market of measuring equipment is large enough. Aside from purely mechanical devices, it includes a huge assortment of various electronics that measure the temperature, current, rotation, and other parameters. Founded in the late 1960s, Electronic Specialties Inc. occupies a special niche in this market developing both universal products and those meant for narrow applications. The former include multimeters, tachometers, and infrared thermometers. Also, you can select from a variety of test lead kits. In the second group, there's specific automotive equipment.

The company offers battery load testers, code scanners, and products of a so-called Buddy family – Fuse Buddy, Trailer Buddy, Relay Buddy, etc. Many of them are quite unusual and innovative. For instance, the Trailer Buddy connects to the vehicle’s 4-5 or 7-pin socket and makes different sound signals depending on what you’re doing: applying the brakes, activating the left or right turn signal, engaging reverse, and so on. The absence of a signal means there is no current in a corresponding circuit of a tow vehicle, and there is a unique tone in the case of a short circuit.

The Fuse Buddy is installed instead of a stationary fuse to help you test circuit currents and even parasitic drains. The Relay Buddy was designed for checking the most common automotive relays including shielded ones. While performing several test sessions, it watches for consistency in every cycle and lights up the red indicator if something is wrong with the relay. Of course, there may be other ways to test such systems using more versatile equipment, but such Buddies greatly simplify various tasks and help save you time, as all the processes go quickly and need minimum preparation. Besides, Electronic Specialties tools include some other handy products such as DVA adapters that enable you to measure the peak voltage of CD ignition coils using a standard multimeter.
