What do you use as a diagnostic port jumper?

Just curious what you guys use to jump the leads on the diagnostic port. I saw mtbtim use one of these in a video but was wondering if I could just use a paperclip or something.

I use spare wire cut from wiring harness. I don't think a paper clip will conduct

Paper clip is what I always used... small wire will work or a fancy tool.

paper clip.

Paperclip. Heck, I leave one stuck in the bracket in the engine bay on my old (OBD-I) Camry...

Any thing that conducts electricity will work long as it makes contact correctly.
I made a wire jumper tinned ends with end caps that I keep in the cover, easy to keep up with.

You can do what most of us do and use a paperclip, or make a jumper wire from a piece of scrap wire or if you want to just spend some money here's a link to what you're looking for except it's most likely not the one Timmy used, he probably made his own.
