Plugged in the electric fencer and the meter reads "short" but it
still shocks the **** out of you. Don't ask me how I know this.
****ed on it, did you ?
Not having a volt indication will be a real problem, no way to know if
grass etc. is knocking down the effectiveness. A fencer puts out a
high volt burst a small percent of the time. On the order of 7K volts
for 50 miliseconds once per second. Is there an easy way to add a volt
meter? Just a relative indication is all that's needed. or time to buy
another unit? ($250)

Just see how long a spark you can draw from it. The old "weed chopper"
woultd throw a good hat quarter inch spark and burn off 1 inch sumac.
What kind of hat did it throw? ;-)
HOT
A hot hat? Must have been a fireman's hat. B-)
