Power Probe III

[85crownHPP]

Anybody else got one/use one? I just bought one with all the goodies off eBay for $130. Those things are too awesome and useful to not have at work and as part of my electro-mojo arsenal.

For those that dont know, its the king mack daddy of all test lights... it tests for positive & negative voltage, has a voltmeter display, delivers power and ground to anything you can probe, and has a grounded alligator clip built into the action end so you can 'bench test' stuff.

You can do all sorts of neat stuff like fire relays, hot wire pumps/motors, test for voltage drops, and lots more.

I can't wait till it gets here!

sounds cool...for a moment there i though this thread was taking a total different direction...my dad saw it before and said "I'll just stick with my test light" i think its pretty neat.

I have one, and don't know what I ever did without it!!!!I got lucky with mine. My MATCO dealer was having a special on then a year, or so back, and I got mine for $149. And this I thought was cool. While everyone at the shop had etiher a red, or black one, I got mine in CAMO!! Nice way to easily identify mine at a glance.

It has arrived!
Its so freaking awesome I felt compelled to make a short video showing how it works and some of the things you can do.
The yellow thing in the foreground is a lead you can pierce wires with, just twist the knob and a little needle pokes out and taps the wire.

Sounds like a neat little peice of equipment

I just got a free accessory for this thing... the 'circuit chaser' kit.
I'm not sure exactly how it works, but Im guessing its something you can tap into one end of a wire and has a loop sensor attachment that goes beep beep beep when you find it somewhere else.
I might use this to help find out if the stock dummy light wires are accessible anywhere under the dash... if so I could re-route them from there to use the factory water temp and oil pressure wires under the hood

Now that new accessory sounds neato!
