continuity tester ?

What's wrong with a multimeter?

Dave.

Or a light bulb with someone to yell when it comes on.

You can buy such things from jaycar. In the form of a screw driver.It will even tell continuity of your body ( may or may not have audio)

around

And you can't afford to buy a $10 one as well?

MrT.

$29.95

And there are probably even cheaper one to be had.

Fair enough. But there are cheaper multimeters, much cheaper. It's common to have a knock-around $10 meter in the glove box for auto use.

If you want a "simple design" meter, try the Amprobe PM53A pocket meter. It automatically switches betwen volts and ohms.

eg:

other places have a very similar model too. eg: supercheap auto, the warehouse...

So, do what many of us do - buy a $10 multimeter and use it for the rough stuff

CAT. NO. QM1500 $9.95 from jaycar.com.au

If I could get one for a lot less than double what it costs in America I would love one. In America you can get one for less than $33 usd. In au the price is over $66 au. If you import it shipping costs makes it the same.

If you buy from Digikey any time, throw one on your next order.

Good idea, but the small amount of stuff I get is usually counter service at RS or WES or Jaycar sometimes farnell.
