About this item

  • 【What is a PB100 Probe Tester?】With the PB100 probe tester, you can check voltage and ground signals in a typical DC circuit. However, the kicker is that you can also use it to send voltage and ground signals. It works like a test light that can power circuits or provide a good known ground. This way, you can effectively test components and circuits without having to break out the old alligator clips and jumper wires. You can power or ground a circuit directly through the top of the device.
  • 【What does it do?】The PB100 is an essential tool for automobile user. It is needed for testing components on and off the vehicle, checking for the good and bad grounds, testing for continuity and diagnosing circuit failures. For example, you can use it to turn on a blower motor. You can run power window motors, windshield wipers, and even rear window defrosters. If the vehicle owner keeps it in his car he can check system failure on his own way no need to go to technician.
  • 【Easy to Use】ANCEL provides how-to guides and video tutorials to help you easily complete your repair work. With the press of a switch, you'll have an instant hot lead or ground lead. Use the probe tip and ground lead simultaneously to power up components right in your hand. Instantly check components for continuity as well as identify positive, negative and open circuits without re-polarizing hook-up clips. Locate shorts without wasting fuses.
  • 【Voltage Indicator】The LED indicator on the front of the unit will show you the battery voltage when it is connected. You can use it to determine a whole range of things. You can even do a quick check of the alternator by plugging it in and starting the car. The voltage should go from about 12.6 volts to 14.0 volts. This is also useful if you have a situation where a power supply has a large voltage drop, if you notice low voltage on certain branches when checking fuses, etc.
  • 【Circuit Protection】The PB100 has a built-in 8-amp circuit breaker to prevent circuit overload and overheating. Unlike a normal test lamp, this device can conduct direct battery current into the circuit you touch with it. Any time you backfeed a circuit, you need to know what you are doing. The breaker will protect the circuit, but 8 amps is still enough to do a lot of damage with the wrong wire.
  • 【Trailer Wiring】A recurring source of frustration for technicians across the country, especially those who service trailers exposed to road salt or salt water. ​The PB100 Circuit Tester features a long 20-foot cable that allows you to make the initial connection directly to the vehicle's battery, while providing easy access to connect the trailer harness at the rear of the vehicle.

PB100

More uses are worth your expectation!

  • Find The Short Circuits:In most cases, a short circuit will appear as a blown fuse or a tripping of an electrical protection device.Use the probe tip to activate and energize each of the fuse contacts..The contact which trips the circuit breaker is the shorted circuit.
  • Find The Bad Ground: Probe the suspected ground wire or contact with the probe tip. If the circuit breaker tripped, this circuit is more than likely a good ground.
  • Testing Trailer Lights: While the tool in DC Voltage mode, clip the auxiliary ground lead to the trailer ground , probe the contacts at the jack and then apply voltage to the probe tip. This lets you check the function and orientation of the connector and trailer lights.
  • Check Continuity: While the tool is in Resistance mode, using the probe tip with chassis is ground or the auxiliary ground lead, continuity can be tested on wires and components attached or disconnected from the vehicle’s electrical system.
  • Activating Component: The component activation function is designed to generate activation signals to the tested components, such as activating lights, motors and other on-board electric equipments.
  • Signal Circuit Testing: Once you extract a DTC from the vehicle and realize that troubleshooting begins with some kind of sensor circuit, there is a quick test you can perform to verify the code. Testing your sensor is easy while using the tool.
  • Voltage & Polarity Testing: While the tool is in DC Voltage mode, contact the probe tip to a POSITIVE circuit. If contact the probe tip to an OPEN circuit, neither of the LED will light.

Very good,  needs improvements.

Very good, needs improvements.
Excellent replacement for a power-probe. The graphing display is very useful for various diagnostics. Overall easy to use but definitely needs improvements. Ground lead cable broken after 2 months of use, suggest to tape it up/secure before use.Would be better if power/ground button was a toggle and not momentary, mode switch button should be recessed because I press it accidentally constantly, Audiable feedback should be constant and not a pulse because it can be difficult to tell if signal is interrupted.
Thank you for your feedback

I use this product for troubleshooting electrical faults on agricultural equipment, ,& motor vehicles. My POWERPROBE 4 was lost or stolen, & I needed a replacement. Since Power Probe has been associated with Snap On, their prices have increased, & since I did not need all of the features of the Power Probe, I opted to spend about 1/3 the price of the Power Probe for the Ancel. It satisfies ALL of my requirements & I am completely satisfied with the device & its operation. It came well packed & complete with all accessories. I checked its calibration with lab quality instruments, & it meets specifications handily. The device is robust, & I especially like the removable probe that stores in a recess in the case. It comes with a hinged carrying case for the device & its accessories. It is a very satisfactory replacement for my other instrument. For basic electrical automotive troubleshooting, its $72 Canadian price is great value, & since I have other Ancel instruments, I was confident that this product would be capable & reliable as well. I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone for consideration.

I bought this to diagnose a why a vehicle was getting an error code. It is very easy to operate and has multiple uses. Every mechanic should have this in their toolbox if they work with electronics.

I do have a few complaints.
1) it does seem to be light plastic so may be prone to breaking
2) the cord with alligator clip is very short making it harder to use
3) The container is too small. Once the wires no longer fold up like when new it is hard to get it all packed up and the container closed.
