Make a Cigar Tube Circuit Tester - Part 2
This is the second video in a two part series of videos that shows you how to make your very own circuit tester. In this video we'll finish up our Cigar Tube Circuit Tester and connect the alligator clip to the black wire probe, insert our paper clip probe and circuit into the cigar tube handle, and then test to make sure our circuit tester works.
Get out your components (parts list on website and below) and your solder iron, because we're going to build ourselves a circuit tester!
