Welding on cars, anyone ever use an "anti-zap" device?
Planning on repairing/replacing sections of my bed floor in my 2000 Toyota Tundra truck this spring. I've tiged on cars before, but never with modern electronics like ECUs or even stereos. I thought I would have to unplug certain electronics and disconnect the battery. But I found this product in the MAC Tools catalog.
http://www.mactools.com/SearchResults/tabid/79/Default.aspx?Search=et20az Called an " Anti-Zap service minder". Its suppose to protect the car from voltage spikes and surges. A few people on the Miller welders forums have used them without any problems. So has anyone seen or heard of this type of device? Has anyone used one? Or am I better off just disconnecting everything every night. Thank you for your time.

The main thing is to have a good welding ground connection close to the work. If you disconnect the positive lead to the battery, you shouldn't have any problem.
