Draper 72174

The most expensive unit on test but also most powerful, so it’s no surprise it coped easily with all our test devices at the same time. Leads were a reasonable 70cm long, but the crocodile clips struggled to open wide enough for many battery terminals. At least they were insulated, unlike most rivals. At this price we would have liked a USB socket, but this remains a good choice for heavy users.
