Anyone who doesn't clearly see that the LOADpro is far superior to a power probe, VoltPRO or test light, doesn't understand how the tool is used or perhaps how electricity works. This guy made an awesome tool and is an awesome teacher. I'm glad I bought this tool and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Keep up the good work bud!

Daniel, I have your book and your Load Pro. Simply the best electrical book out there! Haters are going to hate, you worked you ass off to develop this tool. They responded by infringing, and making it "their own". Just wanted to let you know that I get it and most other guys I know do as well. Thanks for your vids..... I just found your channel. Yes, I know longer use scotch tabs......

The voltmeter reads battery voltage but doesn't need battery voltage to operate. The other tools need to be connected to the battery, in order to read the battery, or they don't work at all. A mirror doesn't need electricity to see your reflection - a video camera does. I can use the voltmeter anywhere on a vehicle to read voltage - but I don't need to hook it to the battery. It's pretty simple. Keep reading.

You should probably mention that while a dmm doesn't need system voltage of the equipment your working on, it does indeed need/have a battery (primarily as a reminder I guess). Without it the meter, and load pro as well, are useless. I've seen plenty of guys waste hours on a diagnosis just to end up being low/corroded batteries in their meter. If you end up on a road service and forgot to pack spare batteries, you're SOL. I don't understand the reason for the comparison either. Aside from reading voltage the power probe and load pro doesn't share any other functions of one another.....or do they? I don't even know what that third tool was you were comparing so I'll refrain from comment on it. I do own a power probe and it is awesome for most things but it doesn't load test circuits. I got a light that pulls approx 3.5 amps for that. I've been strongly considering getting a load pro just for a little more simplicity, hence what lead me here. In reference to your comment in the video about poking wires, it's never a good idea to pierce a wire but there are times when it is unavoidable and it should only ever be implemented as an absolute last resort. Make sure to seal the poke hole up when you're finished.

I bought the load pro a few weeks ago. My time locating the bad spots in circuits has dropped dramatically. I found a wire with heavy resistance in a starter relay circuit that would have had me chasing my tail just days before, found it in minutes. My boss has 20+ years experience over me and he chose the power probe and suggested I invest in one as well. Not being the sharpest at electrical I researched for a long time before choosing the Load Pro. Very happy I did. Now if I can just get my boss to believe it works. P.S. bought the FET book with it-great combination, really helping me improve my electrical diagnostic abilities.

I purchased your LoadPRO test leads and your probe kit. I am a heavy equipment mechanic. LoadPRO saves me a LOT of TIME! It has found a bad/internally corroded battery cable lug, a bad starter relay, and a bad heater blower switch. But, most of the time it does not find anything wrong, and that's where it is most useful to me. Because I have no dead ends to diagnose! I can simply replace the part and be done knowing the battery, wiring, fuses, and switches are not the problem.

After a little bit of learning and then finding this tool its been great. I try telling everyone who will listen how great it is and how much its saves. Sometimes feels like I'm banging my head against wall when their still testing with a test light or the old power probe with green/ red LEDs

I had 12v at the pump but it still didnt work, hit the button and it went down to 1.2v traced the wire back to a plug under the bat tray that was green with corrosion. Using these leads gave me the confidents to say the fault was in the power side and in turn saved me time, and the customer money. Another garage had already put a pump in it because they thought it had + and -.

Daniel, first off I can a big fan. I have both the Load Pro and one of your books. I use my load pro on my Power Probe. I recreated this same test on a gasoline engine and I was able to see a voltage drop using the Power Probe by hitting the button to see battery voltage and then testing the connection at the plug and finding .3 volts less. I then did what I always do and connected the Load Pro to the Power Probe and tested with the Load button and with the 500mv load I got 9.7v. As a note I really wish that you would make the Load Pro II with banana jacks so that I can use all of my Fluke adapters, (mainly my back Probe pins). I would certainly be one of your first customers for one.

I am a backyard mechanic who would rather learn and fix my vehicles than have somebody else do it. About a year ago I had some corrosion in a lighting circuit that the PP3 was no help on.

I support you Dan.. Anyone that understands the relationship between voltage, current and resistance in a circuit should easily be able to see that this a great diagnostic tool. Most of all it saves time and money if you are skilled and know how to use it correctly. Awesome too is all I can say that wont break the bank.

Awesome tool Dan, genius! I am a marine electronics tech for 20 plus years and deal with voltage drop issues on a daily basis. In my arsenal I have a power probe 3, portable TDR, fox and hound, test light, etc. I wish I had known about your tool years ago. I look forward to whipping up on some messed up wiring with your tool. Take care-

I just bought this tool from Amazon and I have no doubts that it is a great tool. I am not a professional tech or mechanic, just a back yard shade tree handyman. It would be great if you could make some basic repair videos using the load pro..i.e, A.C not working how would you trouble shoot why the compressor won't turn on...or some sort of electrical problem and how to solve it with the load pro.

I started working for cummins 2.5 years ago as a green horne..i needed to load some wires in a harness one day and a buddy said to try his load pro instead of hooking a bulb into play and it worked so effortlessely and ive used one ever since to diagnos issues..great tool with this i actually find no use for a power probe

Great video... Mr Sullivan Going to purchase one... As an Electrical Engineer I understand the need to be efficient in my work... I do residential electrical repairs and mods in the homes and started customizing vehicles (wiring systems) and found loadpro to be a excellent product.... I also started working ( troubleshooting) automotive and going to be using your product. Second, started doing KZbin videos and going to use your product ( per your promission) in my vehicle videos .. ( if I could only use this in my residential videos, lol)... Great product.....forget the dislikes .... Keep up the of work....

The Fluke Low Z feature is pretty old - in fact, it's why they wouldn't talk to me about licensing my idea back in 2002. That feature is more directed at higher voltage AC, while LOADpro is for lower voltages - typically DC. The physics is the same - my application is a little more direct. LOADpro can see as little as 0.5Ω because of the load. $60 is way less than $160... Feel free to call. Thanks.

First, the meter wasn't misreading the system, although it did show a low BAT indication. I use 3 of these meters and change batteries as often as I fart. Secondly, the battery doesn't affect the voltage measurement until it's a very low number - about 8.5V. The battery had been changed that morning - it was still right at new. Thirdly, the ghost voltage isn't a function of battery power. It just happens. The ohmmeter does need a full battery to work. I don't mind the comment - you were right.

I really love the power probe - AND the load pro. They do completely different things in my opinion. I like that the power probe hooks to the battery and allows me to supply a power or ground to anything... it's very handy for mapping out what is positive/negative etc. trailer lights and such the power probe really shines, jumping a fan to test an individual component is where the power probe shines. Now the load pro leads has a nice shape, isn't sharp and is phenomenal at determining the integrity of the circuit. I see a lot of people bashing the load pro because they are accustomed to a test light and splitting the circuit in half and narrowing it down little by little. Yes it's very possible to find the problem with a test light but Mr Sullivan is not wrong on his leads being faster to do the same thing. I think the people that don't see the value of his load pro just don't understand how to use it and what is different. For someone wanting numbers they reach for a meter anyway, anyone wanting that would appreciate introducing a load by just pressing a button... it's comical to see someone prefer to grab a bulb and harness and try and estimate based on how bright you think the bulb usually is. Even if load pro didn't have the resistor in the lead it's a nice lead worthy of use. The volt pro is cheesy and not worthy of purchase IMO. Meter and leads - always useful, resistor with momentary button into a lead is profoundly useful if you understand why and how to use it.

Your videos have helped this hobbist/hack immeasurably. Thank you so much. I bought a loadpro yesterday. Can't wait til it gets here! I would also mention here that I am subscribed to hundreds of KZbin channels but your videos are the only ones that have their very own dedicated personal playlist although I have many generic playlists. As someone who is self-taught I really struggled with some crucial concepts before I started watching your videos. For someone like myself, you have truly been a godsend in helping me fill the holes in my knowledge. Thank you thank you thank you!
