Every once in a while, I need a 12 v. DC power source to trouble shoot
something. I have been using a battery charger, 12 v. around 6 amp.

Is that okay, or is there a dedicated power source for this purpose? Maybe
one of those power rescue jumper battery pack thinguses? Kinda spendy, but
sure I could score one at a yard sale. How do they last? Very
rechargeable?

Something with variable connectors for the times when you need a clamp, or
just a probe to put the juice at the right place.

Why not use an old computer power supply? They have decent clean
power and are a couple bucks at the swap meet if you dont have old
computers around.

One bleeding-heart type asked me in a recent interview if I did not
agree that "violence begets violence." I told him that it is my
earnest endeavor to see that it does. I would like very much to ensure
- and in some cases I have - that any man who offers violence to his
fellow citizen begets a whole lot more in return than he can enjoy.
