Foolproof block heater tester.
3 years ago
I bought this tester to try it out because I live in a small apartment block and thought I would rather lend this to my neighbours than my multimeter because it’s so easy to use and get a correct reading.
Yes, I recommend this product.

It’s handy, but…

It’s handy, but it’s pretty hard to plug in and unplug. They made it super tight. Very great tool to have that tells you if there’s continuity on both ends. Sometimes it’s hard to know if your block heater cord is good or not. You can use this device to wiggle the cord around to detect where the discontinuity is. Because of this device, I realized that both of our vehicles cords were bad at -40. Changed the plug end and they were good to go again. Takes a lot of the guessing out.

Q: Can I leave this tester plug in the whole day together with the block heater plug on it?
17 years ago4 Answers
A: Yes, this product can be left plugged in at all times but I would take it off when not in use as it is relatively easy to remove and may make it an easy target for someone to take.

Q: Block heater or cord issue My block heater doesn't work, but my extention cord is ok. Can this tester tell me whether I should replace the whole block heater or just the cord attached with the block heater?
14 years ago3 Answers
A: No it will only tell you if the block heater circuit (block heater and cord) are or are not working. Further diagnosis would be required to identify the exact problem with the block heater circuit. This product is used to tell you if the block heater is in deed working, not to identify why its not working.

Q: So I have the gray model tester but lost my instructions. Just to confirm if the green light is on that means your have power and if the red light comes on that means your block heater is working? Is that correct?Thank you. I have used this several years
2 years ago2 Answers
A: I lost my instructions as well, but I’m pretty sure if only one side is red, the problem is on that side. So if it’s red on the vehicle side, it would be block heater/cord.
