Bought one for my son and one for my son-in-law. They have both used them and are impressed with them.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas. My husband loved the gift and has already used it a bunch. I got the product faster than expected, and was/am very pleased with it.
The size of the tester its also great, never have problems placing anywhere in the vehicle. The time this tester saves me its amazing. By far the best tool I own. It payed for it self the first time I used it. The only thing that angers me its that I should had thought of it first. I had been using a fluke and test wires for years and now one tool with one wire took the place of four.
If you want to get to the root of why this isn't working or working properly, this is the "Must Have" tool to help inpire your troubleshooting Hunt.Justin C. If you are a student in Automotive training, or a novice in auto repair. This Item is a must have type of equiptment. Young SrJonesboro, GeorgiaGriffin Technical College StudentPower Probe III Ultimate 12 to 24 Volt Automotive Electrical Circuit Tester Kit This tool will shorten your time troubleshooting anything electrical on an automobile.
The actual probe is hardgold plated with a sharp tip and removable at the banana jack. Enough wire is provided to check running lights on trailers or to look for blown fuses. The voltage/ground switch is circuit breaker protected in case you accidentally drive 12 volts into a chassis ground. The DVM has 5 selectable modes of operation designed for different problems. The 3rd generation powerprobe includes a number of changes for additional flexibility.
If you purchase the accessory kit, it includes piercing probes that self center on a conductor, pierce the insulation, and attach to the jack allowing you to tap a wire at any point to locate intermittant problems.While the DVM is backlit all the time, it also has 2 bright white LEDs facing forward to aid in finding and probing terminals in dark places. Another identical probe is included with a screw-in female banana jack in the accessories kit to retrofit the powerprobe I and II units to accept external cables and probes.If you need to excite a circuit with a connection to battery ground or to battery positive, the switch allows a momentary connection to bridge the probe tip to either voltage which is useful in testing relay driven circuits, indicator lights, and other small current loads. Reading the manual is important to get the full value from this meter.Although the price is a little high, the design and construction quality are excellent. All of the wiring is exceptionally flexible and heavily insulated with top quality connectors. In short, it is a vehicle powered DVM with both a 20 foot cable and an additional 20 foot extension giving you a 40 foot working range around either the battery terminals or cigarette lighter outlet, both clips and a plug are included in the kit.With the series 3 units they use a hard gold plated banana jack to hold the removable probe or cables to extend your reach.
The prope voltage is always displayed during testing on the meter. Both the tester and accessories come in hard plastic cases that can be stowed in a service box.Not mentioned in specifications is that although the probe runs from 12-24 VDC, the meter can be used to measure voltages up to 80VDC. Additionally, since the switch takes abuse it is easily replaced if it fails with just a screwdriver.Combined with the testlead set, the powerprobe 3 greatly simplifies testing of vehicular wire and big rigs up to a single trailer.
