how good would it be for automotive use?

It depends upon what your looking for. I would not used it for high voltage circuits such as spark voltage unless you use an inductive isolator like a coiled wire around spark plug wire. I used it to trouble shoot low voltage digital and analog circuitry in industrial inspection equipment.

Best application is semi-pro or home use. It can be used in a vehicle but you MUST provide a proper power source. In the U.S., that would be 120 Volts AC, 60 Hertz. Inverters are available that could be used for this application. It is also possible to redesign the internal power supply if this is a permanent vehicle installation. This degree of modification is called re-engineering and you have to have quite a bit of expertise in electronics to do it. Also keep in mind this EQ was not designed for the harsh environment of a vehicle..... hot, cold, humidity, vibration, etc.

Should be fairly durable, though I suspect something might break if dropped, it has a lot of weight too with having diecast parts, so watch your toes.

Yes, but the UI is clunky enough, I can't say I'd recommend it for fleet cars. Good for personal use, but it's cheaper for a reason.

It's not a momentary switch and for sure you can use it for computer ......the thing is, this switch is intended for automotive use.

If you are going to be doing minor repairs , it probably will be overkill. If you are going to be working on older vehicles removing rusted brake caliper bolts and other hard to remove bolts etc, it may be justified. It doesn't seem to be to heavy, it can handle any job. A lot of techs would like to own it, I am in Dealerships on a regular basic.

It depends on what you want to use it for, to read OBD II codes? Yes it will work for that

Yes it would be good for that. Mine is in my glove compartment and works fine there. My truck moves an inch and I am notified with full gps coordinates for where it now is.

yea its good.. not as loud as the bass in a car of course, but the size of it produces great sound and if its on a hard surface it will vibrate because of the bass.

You know... I'm not sure but personally I don't think it could cope with high speeds and much highway driving. Remember it has bike type tires. It does a great job with my bicycle but for a motorcycle, unless you carry spare tires and tubes, I'm not sure I'd trust it for distance travel. Hope that helps!

Yes. Ive been using mine for autobody and some woodworking for a couple of years now with no problems.

I purchased this DEWALT sander to use for woodworking use only. I cannot advise using this sander for paint removal in an automotive application, since I do not know if the speed on this sander is adequate and sustainable for such paint removal requirements. I would suggest you contact DEWALT Customer Service as to what they recommend.

I would recommend it. I have used it on several vehicles and have been very happy with the results.

Sure it can be used in a semi it just doesn't have all the bells and whistles. Performs well tho for the price.

It sounds like your use would be less continuous than industrial work like auto bodywork, I think it would be fine. It's quite a large tank, I don't use the tools you mention but it refills fairly infrequently when using impact gun etc. Maybe someone else can chime in regarding the tools you use.

No, these are not reccomended for automotive use. I would recommend LED strips or neon bars. However, keep in mind LED on automomobiles is illegal while driving but while stationary is perfectly legal. Thanks.

It is not intended for automobiles. It's a good idea but It is designed for indoor use. Should not be a safety issue but the vibration and extreme temperatures in a car could shorten the life of the charger.
