Product Information

Full details

This 12V towing circuit tester set from Laser Tools is designed for mechanics and technicians working with car and van towing systems. Its key benefit is the ability to quickly and accurately test both conventional and CANBUS towing electrics using a wireless setup. A potential caveat is that it is specifically for 12V systems and not 24V vehicles without an adapter. It features compatibility with both 7 and 13-pin systems and comes in a durable case.
