In other words you have no idea how to use it, so its worthless? Why
are new ones being sold if its only worth the parts? People would just
throw one together to do a job, then take it apart, till the next time.


Of course I know how to use test jigs ... I have designed them ... they were
used to verify sub-assemblies before final assembly. That's their primary
purpose.

Test jigs never caught on for consumer products (after manufacturing).
There were a few offered for servicing television receivers, but never
enjoyed a lot of application. They cost more than they were worth and
didn't work all that well. Today, they are mostly unheard of.

If you would bother to carefully read the entire thread you might discover
that:

1/ The jigs that sparked this inane ****ing contest are most likely for
boards or subassemblies for consumer products.
2/ I never used the word "worthless."

So, pile on and enjoy the playground. THESE test jigs are worth the value
of their parts, as originally stated.
