Lässige Werkzeug, was den Artikel noch besser machen könnte wäre wenn man die Spannung an der Spitze auch messen könnte mit dem Umschalter

I think quite a few people who have got and reviewed this don't understand what a power probe is actually for (all of the current 1-3 star reviews for this seem to be from people who don't know what it does). It's not a substitute for a multimeter, and isn't used in the same way. It is however a fairly vital tool for a mechanic or auto spark who is diagnosing issues and needs to activate components and circuits and quickly check polarity of wires. It's like a test light on steroids that can provide battery power to what is being worked on.This one works great with no issues at all. Just yesterday a rewired a load of controls on a motorcycle and used this to activate all the circuits to highlight what wire needed to go where. It may be not quite as premium feeling as one from a big well known auto tool brand, but it's on a par with mid range EU tools I'd say. The clips are sturdy, the switch feels positive, and the display is clear and useful for keeping an eye on battery voltage especially if working for a long time. The little light is handy as well.I'd say it feels right value wise since it's currently around the same as a well known EU brand one but also has a digital voltage readout (also considering a premium one of these could be ten times this cost). If I needed another I'd have no issues picking one of these up again.

After 15min use, the display stoped working ((Black screen). I can’t seem to contact Amazon or seller to claim the fault. So I have at broken til. ☹️

This power probe comes in a box with instructions.Looking at other reviews it seems that a lot of people don't understand what this gadget is designed to do and as such have given unfairly low ratings.This is basically a power probe. I've been using a similar gadget from Snap-on for 25yrs but this one has a digital display that's missing from my original.To use this you first connect the crocodile clips to your battery terminal. This now gives a choice of positive or negative powers to the probe.In my test I pushed the probe into my relay box with the ignition key turned. Having already identified the correct wire I pressed the forward button which sent a positive charge to the wire which turned over the starter motor and started the car.This is designed to test for faulty components on the car, for example wiper motors, bulbs etc. Its meant to help you find the faults which are often hard to track down. You also have a smaller crocodile clip that's separate which can be used for continuity testing.This works exactly as it should and it does it well whilst being considerably cheaper than Snap-on. 5 stars.

I thought this would be useful, but not really for my car. Being a hybrid, my car battery is in the boot, so connecting the crocodile clips to the battery gives me access to the boot area, fortunately though the lead is long enough to reach the front engine bay. Secondly you've got to know what you are testing with a meter like this, just the touch the probe on different area of the car approach doesn't really achieve anything and with my hybrid could cause problems. The probe is fairly basic and as far as I can see doesn't offer anything that a basic circuit tester doesn't offer, in fact it offers less than my meter, which will measure resistance etc.. As I'm not a mechanic the sort of things I may wish to check are things like is there power going to a bulb, and my normal meter will do this. If you want to carry out more sophisticated engine checks I suggest plugging in an OBD scanner.Quality of build is ok and crocodile clips are insulated and have a strong grip, but I'm not sure its going to be much use to me as I feel you need a better understanding of what and why you are testing. For a trained mechanic it may be a great tool but not for me.

I primarily wanted this for work , as I work in a garage , and my main job is diagnosis , and its normally electrical issues , and one of the tasks I carry out most days is continuity testing , this tool can do thatYes it feels a bit cheap and is made of cheap plastic , but it seems to work OK , and the few times I have used it so far it has worked fine for what I wanted it for .I like that it uses the vehicle battery for power so you don't have to worry about internal batteries running out , plus also its lead is about 4.5 metres long which is normally enough from front to back of an average car , and from what I can work out from the instruction's you can power up the probe so it gives a 12v feed , but I haven't needed to try that yet .For the price its fine and does the job I want

I was looking forward to this tester but it only looks good, but is a very poor design and does nothing of the sort as described.So you clip the red and black clips onto the battery and then probe into circuits. This basically shows you if you're probing a negative or positive feed, but if it's a low voltage feed, you get both red and green both lighting up faintly.Next, it's got a toggle switch that basically shorts the circuit. This could potentially blow a fuse in a circuit, why have they designed this in this way?It's got a buzzer which is supposed to take over when this happens, but it doesn't work.It also has a volt meter, but this basically reads the voltage from the croc clips and not the probe. What a useless tool.
