Power Probe 3

[M@tt 77]

I've just remembered i've got some xmas money left over i've not paid in to the bank so rather than just let it be absorbed by normal day to day s*it i thought i'd treat myself to something

 

I've been looking at one of these Power Probe 3's. I vagualy remember someone mentioning them previously and after a bit of googling they certainly look really useful!!

Anyone have one/use one?

Yup, have a bog standard power probe and have used a mates PP3, really useful tools for fault finding.

 

Not much more to add really than what was shown in the video.

 

 

I have used one to see if the crank sensor is working, as well as spark signal etc.

I've used a mates quite a bit, good piece of kit, but I can't really justify the cost as I can do all I need to do with my Fluke meter.

I have used a PP3 and they are very good, but dont think i could justify the cost. I have one of the more simple Sealey ones that connects to the battery had a dual colour LED to indicate whether the probe is earthed or connected to voltage and a switch to apply +ve or gnd to the probe, has a self resetting fuse too. Was only about £20 off the internet and does everything I could need it for. One thing is that the lead isnt quite long enough to reach the boot from the battery on my Volvo 850 though
