Power Probe BOB (OBD 2 Breakout Box) 

@ OvalWingNut , I want to apologize. I accidentally removed your comment. I am sorry. I am posting the link here though in the pinned comment.LOCATED: Probe adapter/tips, aka "fuse tester tips" from what I read. www.mobilecentre.co.uk/power-probe-ppefaset-magnetic-fuse-tester-probes #91033021 ~$15.30 pair. Located in the UK🇬🇧

Your nearly disgusted reaction to the music that came on was hilarious.

Joe I'd like to thank you for sharing and taking time out to explain this tool this tool can be very useful. Can't wait to see you use it on a vehicle to see its full potential. Again keep up the great videos.

Nice . Happy to see companies recognizing you

Thanks for taking the time to demo the tool. Much appreciated 👍😎

I like your opening storm sounds. You're the lightning bolt of reasonable thought in a storm of automotive crises!

Great info, Nice to see companies asking you for input.

Joe thanks for the demo. Looks like a cool tool.will look into it 👍

Damned few mechanics/technicians would say, "...piqued my interest..." in conversation. Kudos to Mr.Delia, one of the brighter lights on the tree!

I have couple tool from power probe and love every one of them. They make good stuff!

Wow! I'm liking the new toy! Glad to see some of the details of the tool, since I knew you had it. Nice to hear they sent it to you to try!

Awesome video joe nice review. That flashing is the refresh rate of the led. Seems like a solid breakout I’m using the CanDo break out box. Has all the same features but you can plug a banana in. Thanks for sharing this.

Nice tool, it will make a nice addition to my toolbox

I love mine. Just picked it up recently though my cornwell dealer!

Working with Power Probe for a long time very good company a very reliable I like all are there equipment still have it today

hey Joe's Auto Electric great video thanks.

Great little device!

😵 sweet. BOB are awesome when you realize how to use them accurately. This seems like a great way to isolate corrupt systems and wiring 😈

Excellent video, thanks for taking the time to share. Cheers

Sweeeeeet perfect for a pico session on the obd system or canbus diagnostics

Exselete diagnostic amigo. Good tools.

Thanks for this video!

SUBSTANTIAL Joe's Auto Electic Thank you very much. We miss you. God bless you and all your family around you Take care and have a great day Joe's Auto Electic From Nick Ayivor from London England

Looks great smart move

Interesting to learn this tool exist And, Nice Hat👍👍

I just got mine cost 249.95 I agree with you very nice tool

Had a few tools from power probe, never had a problem with them to be honest

It looks nice, but I will keep using my $15 e-bay china one for now. I'd rather put the money into my Pico savings fund! I guess seeing the voltage is nice, but usually I am going to be scoping Can High and Low most of the time to to see the actual signal, or I just want to temporarily add a module to the buss to program or test. I tend to use a cheap Harbor Freight logic probe as a quick and dirty method to see activity on a CAN when I am working throughout the vehicle. I guess the connectors are okay, but I would want more than 2 adapters, and I'd rather just have banana jacks because everything else I have is banana jacks.

The pin tools will work in three orientations to test fuses one handed, you simply turn them around on the magnets for mini, standard and maxi fuses.

We all know you were jammin out to that music to get hyped up before filming Joe. Looks like a nice unit. The compact size seems nice. I have to use adaptors for my picoBOB and that thing is huge so using adaptors doesn’t bother me.

looks neat brother

Snap on make this tool and also sell the little probes separately,I'm in the UK and use this tool which is great 👍👍

Nice review Joe. Just got one of these myself. Hope u r aware of the light on the OBD cord end. Very helpful, but got to load the battery first for it to work.

Jus subscribed & thank you for spreading knowledge. I have the power probe hook & well I still have not learned it’s full potential. Practice makes perfect........well sometimes, but as long as the issues are resolved. Keep them videos coming & thank you for explaining BOB which I had no clue existed. 👊🏼

Fancy stuff!!!!! thanks

I haven’t looked into buying new probes Joe but they are some 2mm male to 4mm female being sold on eBay, I also use this magnetic power probe ones to test fuses or to use with my amp hound, you can mix A+B | B+A and so on for different fuses type 👍... I forgot one thing mate Bluepoint has literally the same breakout box you can try getting some extra magnetic probe with your snap on guy 👍

Great video it's the cadillac of break out boxes I found one on the net 245.00 just gogled it thanks again Joe can't wait for a video where you use it !!!

+5 for the Henry beanie!!!!

I made a simple breakout box myself some time ago. A small 20volt LCD Display for the voltage, a few female banana plugs, a ODB2 cable extension and a box. 30 minutes work and I had a simple breakout box that would beat the China stuff for just 10 bucks or something and I know what I have. The breakout box is just to measure voltage with my meter / oscilloscope or hunt for CAN Bus trouble. This breakout box costs around 190 Dollars plus tax and shipping, that is a lot.

I like the power probe tools I have so far. That break out box has some nice features. I'm glad you have that as part of your arsenal.

You know your ballin when you have a Fiat 500 Gucci II

Excellent 👍🏻

Hey joe that power probe breakout box at amazon is 186.99

The LED display is flickering because it's multiplexed. Most 7-segment LED displays are. To save power, and to make the circuitry simpler, only one section of the display is lit up at a time, but the sections are scanned/lighted very quickly so your eye doesn't see it. But your camera does, as you said, because of the scan rate of the sensor or software..

Yeah buddy that great from Aleskyfinis

i like it but i'm gonna wait till the price come's down,i cant dump the cash on a otc. been using power probe since the came out and never had a problem and got me out of a lot of jams. love your vids keep them coming-your doing me good showing all the new ways to dio. on a car.

cool looking tool .. no one in my area sells them.

Good video

It's now available thru MAC Tools, it's great!

Muito bom sua boa vontade de explicar o uso dessa ferramenta. E tem tradução em português..top

I was in New Jersey some years ago, looking for a truck to support my "mobile mechanic" preferred means of living (Props to "Mighty Joe Young", despite our inability to seal a deal!). I currently use a Kaiser/Jeep XM-811A SEORTM shop van, along with my prodessionally-certified engineer's knowledge, education, training, and tools. I hope that we can "partner-up" for a video. For the record, I used to do a "crazy" radio show, which was, once upon a time, number one in Germany's afternoon drive time (morning drive-time here on the Left Coast of what was, once, America!). Yeah, I'm a pretty funny [old] guy, and I am a fantastic diagnostician. I believe (hope?) that you are the future.

It's also sold as a Blue-point unit, so ask your Snapon guy about the probes

Circuit resistance for HSCAN, and if you have a Power probe 4 the driver option could work on that also, I plan to use a ECT3000 on it to find opens on a Can Bus.

Gucci door sill plates 💥😆💥

Excelent tool, congrat's looking forword to get one

Nice

If a probe goes bad, would you be able to use one from your aes lead kit? There flickering is caused by different refresh rates. Led vs camera (digital shutter speed)

The reason the LEDs are flashing in the camera is because of only one pixel is lit at a time. The micro display rotates lighting among the individual LEDs in display so fast that the human eye sees a steady light. However, when the video camera scans the display it will get repeat scans when pixels are turned off hence the flashing. You can get the same effect like when videoing a air plane propeller. Maybe some day our technology will be tuned to work more like our eyes.

Nice looking tool but I wish they had used the regular banana jack connector as they are already on most tool wish would make it very flexible. Any how thanks for the content Joe, keep up the good work!

I bet they fit Standard meter leads. The tiny holes in the break out box that is.

Nice useful bit of kit. The probes that come with it, are the tips anywhere near the size of standard meter probes ?

The tool shows where there is low system voltage reference signal in the circuit. You need access to pro grade wiring diagrams to be able to find the right area. Then you could find problems really fast. Most people can't afford the pro grade wiring diagrams.

Good tool... Its been available for about a year but again not seen many guys using it. Does it still have the light in the dlc connector to help you find the plug?

Hey joe..what is you’re opinion on using solder or butt connectors on a 2010 Chevy Silverado driver door jamb rubber boot..wire is broken that goes to airbag impact sensor in door

Nice hat!

if you connected a tail light bulb could you load test the 2 grounds using the breakout box. and found this video after looking at the other video i messaged you about so guess are you still thinking this is the best breakout box to have

We all know you was BumpN that song. Don’t gotta play it off. 🙃😂

i have had connection issues with bananna jacks the single pin is definitely better if only everyone would standardize their pin sizes. does the voltmeter jump over the ground pins?

the flickering is on the camera shuterspeed and iso change the iso and shutter speed

The issue with the camera is that the camera is recording at a different frame rate than the display is operating at. It happens to a lot of monitors.

Ok. Pregunta. Los. Conextore son separado oh incriulle

Dumb question but what would I use the box to troubleshoot? Obd comm problems?

Maaan,but those Gucci door sills though...! 👍

$250..damn. I was thinking it would be a hundo

You should tell the company to send you 500 right now I'm. Buying one

What would be cool if it tells you the resistor of 60ohms good or 120ohms open of your communications. Maybe on the 2 they will. For 200$ pluse I'll wait for that option.

It's the hertz rate that's visable on screens as i understood it, off and on.

Can I use eobd2

I guess this one is over my head. I'm totally lost what do I use this for ?.

Snap on selling probes individual in the 🇬🇧 uk

banana jacks in a breakout box is ignorant... it needs to be probe style, for speed and convenience. This one gives both options(not banana, but secure banana like) so, woopy, best of both worlds. ...it does not allow to isolate pin 16, or does it!?

They fit standard meter lead tip?

Nice, do you have an "under dash creeper"?

Be nice if it came with a nice case I like power probe

Why make a tool and not use standard connecters what happens when the connecters get lost does a standard multi meter lead fit?

The lights flicker because of your cameras refresh rate/shutter speed.

Useble 24v

were to get it? any part number?

Can you please do a car diagnose using this tool. You just promote the tool that was sent to you.

What do the markings on the probes mean? "AA->MINI" "BB->MAXI"??????? "AB-ATC"?????????????? 8:15

How much you want for your old knock off box now that you have a good one

Great review . First

You gonna be at super Saturday?

You can get them from snap on

It's not on the power probe website......but I'm definitely going to bug them about it cause I like it too Joe........ Seems like it's market to the UK and some times they will not sell in U.S. market. I had a few tools I want to get from UK and it was always will not post to U.S.

JOE'S AUTO ELECTRIC, can you give examples of using the Breakout box Pin#1 thur Pin#15 what kind of common failures you have seen when troubleshooting cars using Pin#1 thur Pin#15?

L.E.D's are "Light Emitting Diodes" witch means they flicker at high rate to provided a solid image or light to the human eyes. cameras due to frame rate will pick up the flicker , If you do alot of filming of L.E.D's you can find information on how to adjust frame rates accordingly to not get flicker. just a answer 🙃

It´s a nice tool and pretty accurate . The probes you can get through ryansautomotive.ie . I can´t give you the price because I got some extra with my multi meter . I am sure they can help you out but I don´t know if it´s even interesting for you to order from Ireland .

Odd to see the use of pin tip jacks. Mostly legacy / military now. Been a long time since I've seen commercial equipment using that. This is probably an adapter that will work. www.pomonaelectronics.com/products/hardware/banana-jack-pin-tip-adapter

Looks like amazon has it for around 186.00!
