...nope...hickup!

aahhh.

Alcohol content tester for a drink in a bar.

tetonic analyzer---tells when an earthquake is going to erupt like when someone gets an answer correctly here--the liquid inside agitates and moves back and forth like a tsunami??????? Oooooooh, maybe too many antibiotics---I'm feeling muuuuuuuuuch better today.

A portable antenna??? Give me a few and I can start speaking drunk-enese!

 

[expatgirl]

several ideas come to mind: tester for electrical voltage or wattage, whatever, or a temperature probe, or a fancy gauge for tire pressure? Not 20 questions--but 3 questions if that's alright.

It can’t be a voltage or power (wattage) tester since there are not two probes. To test voltage, current, or power, you need two probes (positive and negative for flow). This thing seems to have a single input. A liquid tester such as breathalyzer, air pressure, fiber optics (single line for laser light)? This is interesting.

I could be a signal tester for a coax type cable if the center conductor was shielded from the grounding shield thus developing the two polarities in one single enclosure (case versus core).

It could be many things but why is it disquised as a pen?

Keltin,

I was sorta following you in your first paragraph because my DH does have an old voltage/current tester and I do recall that it had 2 wires coming off of it but your second paragraph totally lost me. I hope that you're right---it sounded so good!

 

[expatgirl]

speaking of laser lights is this one of those devices that real estate agents use to measure the square footage of rooms, etc.?

 

[DaniaBchGirl]

Tire pressure guage???

 

[expatgirl]

Surely the cat with the watermelon on his head hasn't gone to bed already??? Where are you JeeKinz?

 

[YT2095]

logic probe?

 

[expatgirl]

as in ill.......? Sorry, couldn't resist, maybe we will hear something soon.

 

[YT2095]

or a Continuity tester.

 

[Jeekinz]

Buck has been the closest of all.

 

[YT2095]

a Mains tester, like those old terminal screwdrivers with the little neon bulb in the handle.

 

[Jeekinz]

Nope. Keep chuggin' YT.

 

[YT2095]

Microscope pen,
UV pen for testing money fakes,
ph tester,
solder sucker,
USB pen,
Camera pen,
recorder pen,

maybe a pen that lets you write stuff on Paper!
(naah, that would be silly).

 

[YT2095]

oh and lets not forget the Document scanner pen.

 

[Jeekinz]

YT...lol....sometimes I'm high tech, and sometimes I'm not.

Come back in The Box, Mate.
