Great tool! Helped with diagnosing electrical issues in my two vehicles. It's designed for anyone tackling open or short circuits, and it performs brilliantly in both professional and DIY scenarios.
What I Loved:
- Ease of Use: It’s simple to set up and intuitive, even if you're new to circuit testing. The tone generator and tracer are clear and effective. Makes it easy to follow wires and pinpoint faults.
- Versatility: It works across a variety of 6-24V systems, making it suitable for cars, trucks, and motorcycles. I have a car and a truck.
- Efficiency: The tone and light indicators help quickly identify open circuits. Saved me time compared to my other multimeters.
What Could Be Improved:
- Wire Length: The leads could be a little longer for reaching more distant circuits without repositioning.
- Build Quality: While functional, the casing feels lightweight. A sturdier design would inspire more confidence for long-term use.
Unexpected Perks:
It doesn’t just locate open circuits; it can also trace wires hidden behind panels, which has been invaluable.
If you're working on automotive electrical systems, this tool is cheap and incredibly useful. Sure, it may not replace a high-end circuit analyzer, but for most jobs, it gets the work done reliably and quickly!
