I just got a used unit of eBay, and was wondering what is the best way to test it? I really don't want to test it with a fully charged monitor.

Thanks,
Theron
 
You can just test a monitor while it is on. See what the kv is and then look in the manual and see the ideal spec, probe tested.
 
It's an older Simpson model #00432. Don't know if I trust it or not.

As long as the plastic / insulator isn't cracked or smashed there is no way it should work any different than it was originally intended.
 
if you are nervous about it, get a used inner tube from a tire and wrap it around the handle. the extra rubber outta do it and if you make it longer, you can hide some of the wire behind it too.
