Super easy to use and built well.
When you spend thousands on gear why not check the weakest links (cables) before you plug them into expensive equipment.
As far as testing, this works very well. Individual pin tests for all connection types and separate leads for continuity so I don't need to take out one of my other meters. I'm very happy with this purchase so far.
