Hey that's a good idea. When I was a mechanic, I used those for all kinds of things. ----- Original Message ----- From: NLG To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 6:09 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Talking Digital Multimeter
No but I have used a makeshift one that was louder. I pulled the buzzer unit from under the dash of a 80's Chevy truck, hooked up two wires to it and used it as a continuity tester when I couldn't find mine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Spiro To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 11:02 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Talking Digital Multimeter well, have you ever used a cont tester that was much quieter? Or to ask more directly, ever notice the volume level of others? I don't know what brand Science Products was using. Your statements are perfectly reasonable. Tough to describe, my cont circuit is like a quiet microwave, like the beep of changing bands on the C.Crane C.C.Radio, and I wish I could think of another item that is common. But thanks. Sounds like it would be enough.

I also can hear it while my air compressor is running, however if my telephone rings on the other side of the garage while my air compressor is running, I sometimes don't hear it. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Spiro > To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Tuesday, June 02, 2009 5:50 PM > Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Talking Digital Multimeter > > > > > > grrr, means I really have to get one. > How loud is the continuity tester? > I am currently using a 9 volt beeper from Rat Shack as the cont tester in > mine is far too quiet. > I like to listen to NPR or Newsweek tapes while working when it's not > baseball, hockey or football on the radio. > > On Tue, 2 Jun 2009, NLG wrote: > > > Yes.

The first one bit the dust, however, I used it so often that I bought two more, one is in storage just in case they quit making them.
