Some times there is just no one around to lend a hand. As I didnt want to let fuel pump run as I ran around the car or whatever I made this.

Thats the larger portion of it. It has male quick disconnect ends that fit nicely into the fuse box to jump the relay terminals. You can then switch your fuel pump on and off staying under the hood or where-ever you are (notice the long leads).

Extenders with alligator clips to clamp to terminal posts.

Well I have always been messing around pulling injectors or cold start valve etc. Instead of getting in the car and pulling the wire out of the fuse box to stop the pump from running while testing these parts you can just turn it off.

careful where you keep that switch though. you won't see it but it prolly spraks internally when you turn it on and off. so if you check injector spray pattern don't spray it on the switch, mmmkay?

Seriously, it is VERY dangerous to use a normal switch around gasoline vapours. Even a little 12v swich can ignite gas vapor if the current is high enough. I suggest that you put the switch on a bench or something near the car and not in the engine bay.
