I have an earlier post regarding blowing fuses in the starting circuit of a Murray rider mower. I have been trying to just run down each wire and such to find the short. I can't find a thing and the cost of fuses is starting to count up. It seems I am going to have to invest in a short finder. Honestly, I'm at wits end with this thing.
There is a number of testers in the $50-75.00 price range then they jump to $150-sky is the limit price. I really don't want to spend a great lot of money on a tool like this at this point in my life (I'm retired and only do this repair work part time so I can buy a new toy once in a while). Where I worked before the business had a short tester and I didn't need to own one. Besides, usually the short was quite easy to find. However, a piece of junk tool is worse than useless and I would hate to have to buy it twice, so to speak.
In particular I was looking at the S&G 25300 model but the reviews seem to be rather mixed. What are your thoughts? I really can't, read that won't, spend the high dollars for a SnapOn, GTC, Power Probe, etc tool. I realize one gets what one pays for, however, there is a point of diminishing returns.

Well, just go to an auto parts store and buy an auto re-setting fuse/breaker. for @ $4
