POWER PROBE 4 & SNAPON EECT900 COMPARISON AND REVIEW 

I’ve had the power probe 4 for a while and I’ve had to have it repaired 4 times already, I’m actually going on week 7 without it as it’s back being repaired again. I never had a single issue with any other power probe I’ve had. I’m thinking about getting rid of it and going back to the 3.

Nice review Training classes? I would take a class. Very informative video Thank you very much for making this!!!

You can buy leads that are up to five feet or more. That will let you test the wires you talked about. I've had a 4 for years and never had a problem until a guy, in the shop, dropped it. The circuit breaker came loose inside.

The eect900 is basically the power probe hook with less in rush amperage capability

Did the price of the PP4 go up dramatically since I just ordered one from Amazon for 176 bucks?

Would be nice to see some more actual field testing. I have the Snap On version but only been using it for basic stuff. Would like to see some more advanced usage that would outweigh a normal multimeter use.

KNOWLEDGEABLE Rustbelt Mechanic Tutorial great, brilliant video thank you very much helpful video,take care and have a great day Rustbelt Mechanic From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

I can certainly see the benefits of a power probe in the Olde Carr Auto garage! Thanks for the demo!

Fantastic Run down on these probes. I really like the pp 4 I may have to add that one to my collection, Dale N for the win sending you that 5v tip didn't even know about that tool add on. Def on my short list..

Ahhhh nope the Snapon one isn't made by power probe, the Snapon one uses one component ut of many that PP uses

I had the snap on one but got rid of it in place of the power probe due to the snap on one's software wasn't fast enough to detect turn signal power pulsing. Mabey mine was messed up but the snap on one just had slower response times in every way, even just supplying power and ground.

Love my PP IV. Got the PP lead kit at the same time. It comes in SOOOOO handy because of the specialized functions it does. For current and resistance I simply use my DMM.

We have a PP2 I find i tend not to use it as much as i should. You should make a video showing how to preform each function of the tool with other equipment. like using a set of fused jump leads with a DVOM, Test light, amp clamp and scope could be a interesting. great review very in depth.

I love both and I have both

The snapon meter has the same features as the power probe hook Would that be a better comparison good video 👍

Would you consider a series actually using the PowerProbe IV and cautions when using it. I have the master set with the ECT3000 Short tracer

Now power probe has the maestro

I love my power probe3 but may have to upgrade to the 4 after this video thanks for the awesome review !!

Test Light and Fluke 87V is all I need. You are a good salesman though!

Great tool for audio installations, can test speaker lines using the speaker/ beeper in the PP

Great review. I could have not done better. The verdict... I'll take em both:)

323 dollars! no,thanks

Yo I’ve actually been looking for something like this all week. Great timing!

Where were these bad boys when I was on the floor,great tools,

I saw another video and a guy amp clamped the hot shot feature it pulled 30 amps at 2.5 mls and came back with good connection.

I have the eect900 and love it the only real thing I use my dmm for at this point is testing wire harnesses between connectors

Not happy with my snapon eect I feel it is to bulky and just not happy in general with it no box or anything

You can get a Autel ps100 or a ancel pb100. I have four power probes! Yes I have a hook. Contacted power probe and they just blew me off! Anyways time to move on. I would not bother spending cash on snapon one half year warranty is all they give you! Yes for probably quadruple the price of a ancel or Autel! Good video not knocking on the guys video. Great video. Snapon tool $370. Power probe four $190 ancel $70 Autel $100. That snapon is massive won’t fit in tight areas! I work on semis as well. Too massive

Will the snapon be used in conjunction with power probes short finder? Etc2000/3000?

Does the ground lead accept a banana plug? I have extensions I can use if needed

I think I have the 3, but the best use ever for a powerprobe is when you get locked out of a ford with the keypad code that you know. Plug it into a jumpbox, crawl under it and apply power to the starter and ground it. Then have someone punch in the number.

Thanks for the video a great help for me personally as just got EECT900 from our tool van today here in 🇬🇧 And sure already ordered case from our rep just need to source either PowerProbe master kit or 5V adapter Again thank you and take care

I got the eect900. Its loaded with useful features that takes time to understand but these videos help to remind me of its potential

I almost bought the Snapon eect900 today. I should’ve pulled the trigger. That thing looks awesome!

Hi! Would you review a automotive circuit detector for me? aneng c08 . The review on youtube in Russian I dont understand.

Rustbelt, love the videos, I would like to see some more electrical videos, I have been getting better at them but would really enjoy some tips on some troubleshooting.

Your reviews are great but why do you keep saying 'is going to be' they are not going to be, they 'are'. It's really annoying!

Let me tell you, the power probe fuel injector test mode is awesome for finding shorted injectors and if your well trained you can even use it to test in digital mode to find bad injector.

I have the snap on 800 and it had a smaller screen but I prefer it more it personally is better but I’m not a certified mechanic

Can this do injector pulse as well like the power probe 4,!!!!!

Thanks for the video , this is the most in-depth operation explanation of the snap on tool that I have seen

Great comparison, vary informative. Keep the videos coming.

Ah was having trouble finding out fuse size on snap on tool.

Great work BIG DOG

The Snap On is mostly the Power Probe Hook. However the Hook has SO many more features, and with one exception has every feature the 4 has, Plus a hundred more. I use the Hook for the reference voltage features when testing computer circuits. Hook has a relay tester, and 5 level circuit tester with the relay tester. Its the most awesome of them all. The 4 has one feature i wish the Hook has, and thats the reader for the ECT 3000 to know when the tracer tone is in a certain wire. EDIT: someone mentioned the 5v reference add on for the tip. The hook is continuously variable from .5 to 5v in reference mode. @20ma. Computer Circuit safe. I use that for sending signals to computer using a predictable .5 second pulse mode while watching data on scanner. Hook has momentary, lock on and pulse mode on power button menu. I am not affiliated with PP in any way. It's just an awesome tool. 75% of my work is electrical diag. I use it often. Watch the hook demo vids. It also has instant voltage, ohms and ammeter depending on circuit and power present. Thanks for hearting my comment.

Watched this in a google results window. Chased it into the app just so I can like it and subscribe. 🤙. 👍. Great review. Thank you. Where in the rust belt are you?

Dónde puedo conseguir la punta roja

Love the in depth reviews of them man. I’ve had a multi probe forever and have not been utilizing as it should be utilized. Thanks I always appreciate the great vids

thanks great video .i did not know about 5v tip ether swr

Thanks for the video

Great Model Comparison

nice. Been looking for someone to compare those two

Cool, thank you

Can you show..how to check the pulse for fuel injectors with the eect900

over 300 bucks!! jesus 30 years n snap off's still constantly surprising me with how much they can get away with charging us i love their tools but theyre some greedy bastards, and sellouts now to, such a dam shame reputation-gone na but definitely not the respectable reputable brand they once were its not just snap off even companies like Starrett are making shit along with the good stuff, in a way, a tool company is only as good as its worst tool im definitely impressed with what snap off included in the tool tho instead of making u buy it extra, although at the same time that price was more than made up for in the price of the tool, more than 3 times the cost in some cases

All you need is a DMM

Great video

seems the snap on is a copy of the hook

I love my power probe 4 but I keep the beep off.

That Snap On design is HORRIBLE!

Can the snap on be used with the PP short finder?

Love the show from the 🇬🇧 👍

The only difference between the Two probes is the price Snap on tacks on 200.00 dollars because it says Snap on.

Good review, interesting seeing the differences in the probes. wonder If they could build an oscilloscope into the power probe? feel would add another level of diagnostics

Nice review.

Great review dude

Maybe I'll get my crate a day early that I can do a review on it before everybody gets theirs, haha not a chance I already know. Thanks for the shout out I was waiting to see that I thought maybe you would do some bonus footage at the end but you definitely have to get that and I think it'll work on the power probe 2, the 3 and the 4 for sure and do some videos with that. Do some case studies with that and show your audience how that 5 volt reference adapter works it's a very sweet tool add on. You should get your snappy or other tool truck to get you the power probe hook and do a side by side with the snap on one. Also you might want to drop some links to the Power Probe store where you can get all the Magnificent add-ons they have which if the viewers don't want to buy it from them they can always get them on Amazon as well. You just have to watch the pricing been there and done that. I have the 1 2 3 4 and hook. The two three and four are slightly if not at all used on at least two of them so I may try to trade them in to the snap on guy as I believe he quoted me to $280ish last time. Snap-on guys are good if you get a good dealer but I never will pay more than two-thirds of retail just because of the fact that I understand their cost structure and there a publicly traded company. That extra money goes to the company. If you've got stuff to trade there's even more wiggle room I found on some things. The reason I mentioned the bonus footage thing earlier was I thought the adapter didn't arrive till after your video had probably already went to The Cutting floor because I know it takes a while to get them done and you had been talking about that for a while so I thought the footage was done already. Just remember when you have to keep Captain Ron and check you take that five molded after off and give him the full juice you might get excited with just 5 volts. If I knew you would send it back to me I would let you take the hook and do a review with it just you would have to do shipping back. I wouldn't send the whole case just because of the fact I can probably fit it in a little flat rate box which would save on shipping but I could always go with a medium box as well but don't quote me on that. If you're interested in doing something like that let me know and I'll take it up and ship it across the freight Lanes and you can do a review in a couple weeks with it from the time I get it shipped to you. Oh wait that would be to head Craig's time so damn I might have to hold off on sending it I don't want to interrupt my crate getting shipped 😂😂 I won't make the Sunday sermon tonight because I'm over just west of Lusk Wyoming right now I pulled off in the rest area. Maybe pull up Lusk Wyoming and show you viewers on the map where that is. If you ever want to know where American Legion Post 1 is it's just east of Lusk Wyoming right before the Nebraska line. A little tidbit of information that a lot of people probably never knew I never knew till I have been driving over the road for 9 years I drove past the place many times but if you pull it up on Google Maps it's just a little hodunk town will the flag out there and I woke up one morning looked out the window and seeing the dedication plaque to it I think maybe two or three people live there in that town now. Anyways I missed the Sunday sermons tonight with the Reverend and the bishop cuz I was out in Utah for a funeral on Friday there. My uncle's ex-wife it was still my aunt that passed away earlier this past week so I had to drive out and see you there it was a thousand mile trip. It was cheaper than flying out there and that was before even renting a car. I think we need to work on the rusty belt designs on Teespring as I was looking at them last night while I was ordering one from South Main Auto. I've been feeling their Channel a little longer than yours but yours came up as a suggestion but I don't like black and I forgot if you had other colors but also I think we could touch that design off. Maybe you should do a little three or four week design contest where your subscribers email you designs and then you put them up for voting. top winter should get choice of two items sweatshirt included and second place should get a choice of one item sweatshirt socks or t-shirt and third place should get a t-shirt of their choice. Think about all the kids of all your subscribers that will come out of the Woodworks and blow your mind with The art design capabilities they have. I think you would get to your next thousand subscribers fairly quick as well or next 2000 especially if you're running a boating promotion as I've seen little polls where people can vote yes or no on items. Also pardon in a misspelling or sentences as with this much typing on a Galaxy Note 9 even it makes the thumbs and hands go numb so I use the voice typing. I've got a few other new things I haven't got around to using that we could collaborate on as well. I'm sure you've heard of a cardaq? I've been taking it easy since last fall not doing much except personal stuff so I've got some new stuff I have to test out. I need to get my garage cleaned up and make a little table with a pedestal and maybe use my osmo 2 I don't know how well that would work but I think it would work if you're moving around because I just can't sit still as I noticed you're moving around as well well holding the camera. I'm getting into coaching girls fastpitch softball season again so with it being that time of the year things are going to start cranking up here soon.

Snap-On - always best options (the 5v) lead in is a MUST! ✔✔✔ Do you got a link to the Power Probe by chance?

did you find that the size of the snap on one will be a downside when trying to get into tighter spaces as apposed to the power probe?

Wonder if the hook and the snap on would beca more fair comparison? And the adjustable circuit breaker on it is good for 65 Amps. Wish the cord was detachable on the PP.

thank you so much, i bought this eect900 couple years ago but have never gotten familiar with its function. very informative and easy to follow. thank you again michael thrasher

I’m sorry, the features on the power probe 4 ride the slim border of impractical and down right unnecessary. That multi probe takes the cake. For Pete’s sake just go get a DVOM... if that doesn’t work. Break out a lab scope. Admittedly, I own a pp4. But not “all” the features are practical

Looks like the "Hook" from power probe would be a more fair comparison to the snap-on

LOVE THIS CHANNEL , THERE IS A NEW POWER PROBE ITS NAME IS THE MAESTRO . I CAN'T GET OVER THE LOOK OF THE SNAP-ON THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE VIDEOS !

Nice video ... but I would like to have a 6 foot cable to work under the hood instead 23 foot cord to unwind and rewind..The piggy tail that is ground in 6 foot either... besides that its a great TOOL

I had no idea the snap on was a meter too. 😮

hey dont aim to sound crazy but the box end wrenches that are a half moon shape what are they called never had a need for them till today and danged if i do now looking to buy a set of them

got 2 things to ask first how much is there difference is there in the pp3s and the 4 you have there also if you pull up power probe on emay you may find i hard blow molded case that may fit your snap on probe hey before you send that power probe 4 back to snap on if your guy will let you get a pp3s please compare the 2 please i just bought the pp3s hoping i did not mess up

Dose power probe offer the 5 volt atach ment like power probe or dose it have a setting in for that

Have you ever heard of a place called Harbor Frieght. They have really nice tools for the professional mechanics.i never been there but I hear they have everything. I wonder if they sale snapon. We had a snapper lawn mower when I was a kid. Lots of horse power. Maybe you can make a video using the probe to check How much a corvette has. With all those amps I m sure it is up for the task. My dentist loves them but said they can be very expensive, but then again what pro tool doesn’t cost a bunch of money. Do those tools check for PSI’s or lugs. I have always thought it would be cool to fix my own car. They have special schools that mechanic go to. I wish I was a mechanic. Did you go to school for it. Sounds so much fun. Thanks a lot. Super awesome video. Very nice tool box in back ground. Was that a snapon . I think craftsman’s are red . Thanks again and have a wonderful day.

Overpay snap on😂
