Questions & Answers

How does the carbon fiber probe compare to the old one?

The carbon fiber probe is the same as any other power probe three model, they just have a different color paint finish. So it does look more professional but in a way that's good

What are the dimensions of the case that contains this kit?

The answer is yes. In addition to the unit, a case is provided

In testing the cooling fan on a vehicle, I kept tripping the circuit breaker on the unit -- is this normal behavior or does my unit need to be repaired?

Depending on what you do with this tool, it is not always a matter of what you do. You have to do it in a certain way sometimes. You can use this unit in a variety of ways. According to what you are supplying power to and how you did it, the circuit breaker may trip to protect the unit. My experience has been that normal circuit tests do not trip the unit's breaker unless the wires cross or are grounded in some way.

Can you hear the sound this makes when there is a ground attached to the system?

The answer is yes. The button can be pressed.

Power Probe by tps is one of the best instruments I've ever used as an auto mechanic
5/5

Power Probe by tps is one of the best instruments I've ever used as an auto mechanic. My first Power Probe III was purchased off a tool truck about 15 years ago. I used it almost constantly after that. About 10 years after I first bought the switch, I burned it out, which meant I had to disassemble and solder a new one in. As a result of this, I learned to put the switch on before touching whatever you want to power up, so that the contacts don't arc. Thereafter, it was just wearing out, mainly due to wires breaking internally at the head and on the A long time ago, I made a new plug end out of Right Stuff and heater hose. I am trying to say that having this tool is incredibly useful, handy, and simple. It is indispensible to an auto mechanic. Moreover, I will not be disposing of the old one, I will just keep it in my trunk in case of an emergency.

It's a good tool but you need to be careful in using There's nothing wrong with this stuff, but you have to be careful how to It doesn't always read well when partial grounds are used
4/5

Ensure that you don't use it on a pulse width In spite of correct readings, I discarded a perfectly useful ECM because of incorrect readings from a camshaft solenoid. *Pretty much anything I test, such as rear lights, I prefer having a good ground to work on. Thanks to the long cable, I can power up and ground my lights easily. As well as being able to power circuits, I also enjoy it. Check the relay circuit to determine if fans and starters are working. I believe this is an excellent tool, so long as it is used.

The importance of this cannot be overstated
5/5

Since I have been on the fence for a while, I watched several videos and read several reviews before deciding. There are several meters and testers I own but this one is like a magic wand if you have to wire anything into your car or troubleshoot something. It has become part of my life now and I wouldn't be without it.

This is quality! A great gift for your son and your husband It is actually my husband and son who have ordered several of these! A lot of places use them, each has one and a truck in case something goes wrong with the electrical system
5/5

It is a product my son as well as my husband love and would not go without. I received the product on time as described and in good condition. This is what quality is all about! I would certainly order from this merchant again in the future.

I've been borrowing the power probe on a regular basis and decided it was time to purchase my own
5/5

It is a must-have for techs, and an invaluable tool the rest of us can use. Power probes are handy for so many things, but the 2 things that sold me on them the most were the long cord that eliminated hunting for a ground and the ability to instantly know if the wire is power or ground. I would have been happy to spend every penny I spent on it if it did just that. The CR8030 is a cool tool, but not a should have if your a mechanic who does any kind of electrical work. If you work on cars for a hobby, it will pay for itself several.

The case is great for my box because it is rugged and fits snugly
5/5

This tool is an absolute necessity for those who work on vehicles for a living. I found it to be a great rugged hard plastic case that fit perfectly in my work box. I am convinced this is worth buying just because of how quickly the fuses can be checked. The only thing I wish I had done was purchase it Although it might seem pricey now, if your flat rate is lower, this will save you time in many different.

It is amazing how easy it is to connect power and ground anywhere on a circuit
5/5

In the picture you can even see the pulse width modulation. I purchased this to use on the job. Besides being the main electrical tech at a Chrysler and Kia dealership, I also work as a technician for Axalta Auto Group. Thanks to this, I have been able to save my life. It is amazing how easy it is to connect power and ground anywhere on a circuit. Circuits such as blower motors can even be seen to emit pulse width modulation. Since I have been using this product for over a year, I have had no issues with it. If the product ever becomes problematic, I will definitely purchase it.

The best tool on the planet
5/5

Whether you're an employee or just a contractor Without a time mechanic, no matter how well you do, you're going to miss out on so much. There's a diagnostic tool heaven out there! It's a great option to have in the toolbox to test fuses as well as feed 12v to components to test things. Seven stars would be a perfect rating for me.
