I really miss it honestly. Kids, so, so many batteries in my house.
Dad, my blah blah blah isn't working right. Then I have to go dig out this monster:
What in the fuckiest of fucks is this? ๐ฑ
Ancient voltmeter for children
Your kids will inherit that charger, and their kids afterward.

I have no lack of proper test equipment, this is actually kind of nice because the kids can use it easily without trying to wrangle a battery and two leads.
