Product description

The Power Probe® 3 is a Digital Voltmeter that works off of 12-24 volt sources with the ability to apply power and ground. Using an Auxiliary Ground cable, the user can simultaneously supply Battery Voltage, and ground to test components. They can also test for continuity using the probe tip and auxiliary ground lead.

One probe. Multiple ways to diagnose electrical problems.

Voltage, polarity & continuity

See circuit voltage on the LCD while red and green LEDs quickly identify polarity, and check continuity in wires and components.

Power & ground at the tip

Use the power switch to apply battery positive or ground through the probe tip to activate components and verify operation. The manual specifically shows applications including lights, motors, fuel pumps, solenoids, relays, and other electrical components.

Five diagnostic modes

Go beyond basic voltage testing with five modes for standard circuit testing, positive and negative peak capture, peak-to-peak measurement, and adjustable peak-detection thresholds.

Great product

Still learning to use great investment for 1990 gmc pickup troubleshooting.

Time saver

Good tool to have and get at under dashboard locations. Takes a bit of learning to use this effectively for many tasks as I never had used one before but beats powering up components using a 12v battery.

Don’t know how I’ve done without it

Yes, I’m glad I ordered it. I was going to return it, but after reading on it using it it wasn’t as difficult as I thought and it arrived on time.

Great product at a good price.

Purchased this to replace an older model I've had for 20 years after the switch failed which was not serviceable. A good diagnostic tool.

Seems Useful?

This tool is much reviewed on the internet - seems usually by people/techs that have never taken it out of their tool box.It most certainly is useful but I think more for the ability to activate/test components. A lot to remember in the instructions and so if you're like me, an occasional DIY user, you'll need to actually take it out and use it while reading the instructions to properly access it's usefulness. I seem to have survived without it for 50 years, but I always like buying tools.The four stars is just because I can't fully address the practical uses yet. Four stars for easy to use is because I think I'll need a couple of lead accessories to compensate for thickness of test tip. Three stars for accuracy is because I can't compare it to anything yet, although the voltage reading is the same as my Extech DMM.Whatever you do, understand the electrical circuit before activating the power button or you'll fry something. I think a double safety on switch would help prevent to hasty a decision to power the circuit.

The best.

I haven't used it yet, but I already know how great these are. It works. Arrived in perfect shape. And I got a case for it for $12 from JB Tool Sales.Most pros already know about and have one except for some guys who, and I appreciate their passion and artistry, use incandescent test lights to charge solenoids and what not.This also makes sense for a DIYer maintaining their vehicle, because you can get pretty far with just this tool. It has a volt meter built in, a test light, and you can even power components during diagnosis.Just be careful, take your time, watch some YouTube videos, and you'll get good at it quickly. In part because this guy will make things much easier. Nice long dual clamp ended cord. You can leave the clamps on the battery. You don't have to go around looking for ground. It has a built in circuit breaker to protect it from overloading. It has distinctive sounds and lights to reveal issues. It has a separate alligator clip if you want to use it like a straight test light. Just very versatile.At $60, it really is a deal. Many people have paid much more for it, and have no regrets!
