Power Probe III w/Case & Acc - Red (PP319FTCRED) [Car Automotive Diagnostic Test Tool, Digital Volt Meter, AC/DC Current Resistance, Circuit Tester]

My, what a difference a year makes. It's hard to say that enough but time has certainly My mechanic background dates back to the old school days. My first thought was, with a simple light tester, I would be able to do just fine. It turned out I was wrong. The power probe will allow me to check a variety of sensors much easier. E Vap sensors can be tested both vent and purge, according to my knowledge. The plug might have a ) or (+) at it. It was just last night that I had to check a wheel speed sensor. Once I tested the ground at the plug, the issue was promptly resolved. There was a broken ground wire, so I traced that wire and it led me to the break in the line, saving myself from having to purchase a "65" wheel speed sensor.

Nonetheless, it's real worth comes from its ability to project I am glad I chose this tool, but I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to use it because of poor instructions I am probably more likely to use the tool in the future than ever before. During my first use of it, I was able to identify a problem in the headlight switch that I had never observed before. That was cool because I was able to figure out which terminal was power and which one was ground on the headlight and I was able to test it without having to remove the lamp. In the case of a professional mechanic, I can see how this would save you a lot of time. As a DIYer, it is nice to have, but if you don't use it all the time, I am not sure it is It was because I wanted to learn more about auto electrics that I purchased the probe. It was a very scary experience when I lost all electrical power in my truck once on a busy freeway in Southern California. It has been my dream to learn more about electrics since then. You can use the tool, but the documentation is terrible if you haven't already read the material and seen examples. I also find the videos to be a disappointment. I want to bash my head into a wall every time I see that guy demonstrate how to go from one mode to another. Honestly, do we need to go over and over that again and again, dear? Using this tool if you do not know how to change modes is a great mistake. Then they gloss over some crucial parts of their tool or simply do not touch on them. Mode 5 and 1 don't seem to be tied very well together, and those explanations aren't very good either. Customers were so confused by this that the company decided to make a video called 'factory reset' that is nothing like that in the slightest. The article mentions that you can use this to listen to the ignition firing as it happens on your sparkplug wires on page 13. No, it's not The first few times, I thought about it and then I tried it again.

I bought this kit for $75 and it was a good deal. I am looking for a job as of In the week following, the price went from $88 to over $94. You can get the same item from Amazon for $80. In addition to the PP319 kit on Amazon, there are other versions that identify precisely what you should get, some at a lower price and some at a higher price for similar products. It has been pointed out to Amazon that the picture of this kit is misleading in that the standard power probe and black plastic carrying case are not shown on it. No action has been taken by Amazon to correct this. Here's what the screw does Within the same plastic bag that contains the cables, etc. , the probe is packaged in a separate compartment. Please don't forget to examine what they sent you when you examine their documents. A power probe unit equipped with the standard cable is included, as is a standard probe, an extension cable of 20 feet, and a separate connector for a 12 volt lighter outlet inside a There is a black plastic case that contains all of this. A power probe does not work unless it is correctly plugged into the vehicle's battery, and so it has to be properly You will find an instruction book in the package. In this model, the readout is better, and there are more features in the 3S unit that is much more costly, as well as having various You must decide if an upgrade is worth the cost based on your own judgment. You might be able to benefit from them if you are a professional.

purchased this power probe after seeing someone use one on YouTube. It has sped up the electrical diagnosis process so much over a basic volt meter, which has been so useful to me! You have to be careful, however, as this is a powerful tool and you can damage things if you send power to the wrong place. However, I've used this tool to find shorts, bad connections, and rewire circuits, so I can attest to its utility.

According to the description, no accessories are included. Various other assortments include tools for piercing insulated wires, probes and accessories for same prices. I found the description to be inadequate. I would not recommend this product, nor would I reorder it. I am going to request a refund and buy a.

It is common and frequent for boats to experience electrical problems. It has helped me troubleshoot a problem I was unable to resolve thanks to a friend who brought one of these over. It took him 5 minutes to find the problem after showing me the power probe III before jumping into the bilge. It was that evening that I bought my own power probe III. While I don't usually read the manual before using something, reading what comes with it, as well as watching the videos, would help me get the most out of this tool.

The tool is exactly what is described and the instructions were easy to follow. Reading them will help you get the most value from your purchase. It was well advised to take the advice of the prior reviewer. You just need to look at what's on offer and decide which offering has the accessories you think you'll need, then choose. I was shocked at how fast the delivery came from Tool Works and Amazon. How do they do it?.

The probe works fine except for the fact that the red LED in the upper right of the screen is hidden under the black screen face and is unreadable. The device is visible under the red housing, but is obviously not correct. I attempted calling the number on the back of the instruction manual, but received a generic message that did not even indicate the name of the manufacturer. My next step was to visit I attempted to access CCTool. com and was misdirected to a company called CCTool that is a total rip-off The website is not very user friendly, I cannot even locate the Power Probe. In fact, Power Probe was purchased by a company with very horrible customer service. If I had known about this before I bought it, I would have likely chosen another.
