You know how you buy those miniature light strings for the tree and the house and after the first year one or more of the strings won't light!!! You then spend hours changing out one bulb at a time until you find a dead one.
Well, my daughter asked me to help her with putting up her lights last weekend and sure enough several of the strings were dead. But, she had purchased a brand fangled new tester fixer for lights (yeah sure right, the only thing it will fix is the bank account of the vendor I thought as I opened the package.) Well, would you believe this thing actually did what it said. You take a dead string, plug it in the wall, pull out one light bulb at the end of the string. Plug that open socket into the receptacle on the fixer tool and pull the trigger up to 20 times. Usually by the second or third trigger pull the lights would blink. When that happens, put the removed bulb back in the socket and that section of the string lights up just like new except for the burned out bulbs.
IT REALLY WORKS. This thing was amazing. Out of 10 non-working strings we ended up with all 10 working. One string was sacrificed to provide replacement bulbs for the burned out bulbs.
