[@nickayivor8432]

INTELLECTUAL Rustbelt Mechanic Thank you very much for sharing what you know with us. Take care and have a great Evening INTELLECTUAL Rustbelt Mechanic From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very impressed with the Bluetooth graphing multimeter thats need you can see volts and amps at the same time love the colorful graph 📊 as well nice video Kyle @Rustbelt Mechanic

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

This video was right up my alley! Thanks for sharing!

[@Mattman9826]

I picked up the back probe kit a couple months ago and DAMN. For the $20 or whatever it was, I don’t know how I made it so long without them

[@EATSLEEPFARM]

That back probe kit is a rebranded S&G tool aid kit. Can find it on eBay/Amazon for 20 bucks

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very cool bluetooth graphing multimeter

[@66crush9]

CC Tools OBD2 breakout box: 149.00 out the door on eBay

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very nice set of electrical diag tools

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I really like that break out box @Rustbelt Mechanic

[@serbiansfinest]

Great video rustbelt 👍👍👍

[@davidjarvis4701]

Just picked up the back probe kit today!!

[@mikegoodwin3782]

Got the same back probe kit from Cornwell for like 20$, excellent kit.

[@chryslertechnician3439]

I just got that back probe kit from Matco I love it

[@stevenspasstime5339]

The website link for the ob2 break out is not working. Do you have any updated info for this tool and where i can get one ?

[@ronringler4286]

Good information

[@Jpilgrim30]

I see they mention being able to use it with transducers and doing calculations automatically. Does the N2 automatically calculate voltage to pressure if using with things like a pressure transducer?

[@Curienllc]

We are working on that. At this time the update has not been released for pressure transducers yet. If you want to be on our test group call our main line 18003811821 and ask for Josh

[@Jpilgrim30]

@@Curienllc will do. I do quite a bit of fuel pressure testing and stuff like that with transducers. I just ordered the N2 as it would be perfect for things like that. No need to run leads all the way to the inside of the vehicle to check fuel pressure while test driving. That’s an awesome little device you guys made. There has long been a place in the market for something like this as getting out the picoscope or snap on isn’t always the most convenient thing in the world for a lot of situations.

[@Curienllc]

John Pilgrim we greatly appreciate the feedback! There is alot more functionality and purpose driven testing coming out of our app team daily, we look forward to talking to you soon!

[@WorX4ToolZ]

🛠👍🏻NIFTY 😎👌

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That 20 piece kit is pretty nice

[@McBake]

Alllllright! Rustbelt. I have to load test banks of batteries on literally a daily basis. And you sold me on that multimeter. The graphing function is a thing of beauty. I was ready to make an impulse purchase.... Until I seen the price :(

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Well when a Bluetooth multimeter from Snapon costs $750+ and doesn’t have near the graphing capability of this one....🤷‍♂️

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That breakout box is nice I have the power probe break out box as well as the otc break out box @Rustbelt Mechanic

[@dtnel]

Like me except I have the OTC and Picoscope. Forgot I had one of those two and accidentally bought a third from AES wave. Maybe I should do a breakout box shootout. I'd have to get my GoPro out and hope it could make a decent video. Wonder if many people use GoPro cameras or not? I have the Hero 4+ silver and the 8 black versions. Hate that GoPro changed the batteries as I have alot of the earlier version stuff that don't fit the 8 but the earlier version still does 1080p so that should be good enough. Still waiting for @Rustbelt to come out and help with that garage cleanup. Yeah I've lost hope on it. Need to box it all up and take it to storage then slowly being it back the way I want it.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@dtnel I use gopro hero 6 black on all of my youtube videos they work fine for me i don't use anything older then a six so everything from batteries works for a 7 hero and 8 hero as well as more then likely work with the 9 hero coming out that haven't changed the batteries in since 5

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@dtnel AES Wave has Amazing products didnt know AES Wave had a Breakout Box as well as PicoScope no idea

[@edwunmartinez7720]

I Love your channel

[@niteninja0133]

That bluetooth thing is cool. But idk if I'd trust it with comm wiring

[@burnedupsparkytipsandrevie9597]

I know you probably said it but what's the voltage and CAT and IP raiting of that Bluetooth graphing meter that looks like it would be perfect for belt speed and motion sensors better than holding an incandescent light bulb on the input terminals to see the pulse of the sensors. Does it have a temp setting too?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Yes it definitely has a temp setting and is Cat 3 rates to 600V

[@dtnel]

@@RustbeltMechanic just waiting for mine to ship now as I sit twiddling my thumbs.... Do they send notification when it ships by chance as they got the money already. On the webpage it does say shipping August and we're close to the end so we shouldn't have long to wait if that's the case.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

I have a massive aes wave probe kit @Rustbelt Mechanic

[@thumbzhenry4664]

What multimeter do you recommend? I’m wanting a fluke but don’t know what model

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Highly depends on what type of meter work you’re doing. You need to look into what special functions you really need, IE Bluetooth screen use, graphing, auto ranging, true RMS, diode testing etc... Fluke meters are usually great meters

[@niteninja0133]

Fluke 87 nothing is better

[@asmautollc]

niteninja 01 yep and 87V is latest model. I bought the Fluke 88V which is specific to auto but don’t really use any of its specific features, and true RMS would be nice for other things.

[@michaelsieber6601]

No need for true RMS on auto

[@gregblau8082]

That back probe kit is made by tool aid. $20 on Amazon

[@themechanicnextdoor5144]

lol I was thinking that too, I swear thats the exact same thing as I saw on amazon, even the box and labels are the same

[@williamrasdall5515]

Where can I get that break out Box

[@RustbeltMechanic]

In the description of this video

[@ron4america386]

20% is a huge cut of the sales plus another 10% on total sales that use the actual code. Where are these even made?

[@stevecurrin9029]

What is the distance range of the Bluetooth on the multimeter?

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Depending on line of sight, I got an average of about 75ft in the shop. But less reliably up to 100ft.

[@stevecurrin9029]

@@RustbeltMechanic One more question... is there a strap with a hook or magnet to hold the meter? I think this is a great tool and would be really helpful!! I have the snapon bluetooth meter but the app isn't great!!

[@RustbeltMechanic]

It has a loop for one on the unit, like for a holder or lanyard but the one I have for testing didn’t have a specified holder with it

[@edwunmartinez7720]

I guess it looks nobody like your comments about snap on about 5 things about snap on

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Lol, that other video will be coming out in the next week as well.....gotta let em stew over that one lol

[@davidche554]

That graphing multimeter you mean knock off oscilloscope? Lol come one really? Seeing two channels at the same time is exactly what an oscilloscope does lol

[@alenmihelcic8267]

Expensive

[@Rooey129]

17:30 Did he just say $249 for only a 24bit multimeter without a display or any quality control? What makes you think anyone in their right mind would get this over say a 121GW which also has bluetooth and is better in every way except not as small. Or a 101 series Fluke for a 1/6th the price without bluetooth because lets be honest in all my years I've never actually needed to use the bluetooth function on my meters.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Like I said in the video, I’ve only scratched the surface on its capabilities, but yes it does not have a screen. However, right out the gate it already has a better functioning app than the Snapon Bluetooth meter that’s on the market. There’s no way the snapon meter could ever graph anything as fast.

[@Rooey129]

@@RustbeltMechanic Yes but Snapon isn't known for making multimeters. If you need a good multimeter you need to look at the brands that make good meters like Fluke or UEI. It's kind of like selling a Black and decker drill without a throttle saying its got bluetooth to control the speed and we should care because it's better than a Ryobi. Noone wants Ryobi or Black and Decker drills and they definitely dont want to pay Milwaukee prices for it.

[@Rooey129]

@@RustbeltMechanic dont get me wrong, I like you and what you're doing but youre making a multimeter for mechanics, you have it easy because your voltages are less than 49V and yet your making a multimeter without a screen and 24bit resolution, realistically you dont even need that resolution because even 8bit @ 49V is still within 0.2V and thats at the extreme, 10bit would be 0.05V @49 or 0.02 @ 24V and thats single divider. Not to mention you're measuring series current instead of using a current clamp. My grief with it is the meter is already dated before its even out, I mean really the app looks like it was made by a 12 year old girl and it doesn't even have a screen. What you should do is go to a manufacturer and explain what it's used for and what you need it to do, let someone like UEI or Fluke use their decades of experience to make something cool that works. I mean look at the Fluke T5 series, that was made for electricians, no reconnecting leads, super quick, does everything without a single complaint for anyone to make and it's cheap, that's what should be done here. Again not hating you, I love your channel and want to support, but hating the product.

[@RustbeltMechanic]

Rooey definitely understand your views and appreciate the feedback.

[@Curienllc]

Rooey that’s pretty funny! Honestly with all thats coming out this tool and app are and will continue to be updated for life of the tool. This is just the first step in a very big set of game changing moves coming down the pipe. Thanks for the feedback though :-)

[@xj31]

That back probe kit is utter garbage. trust me on that. After a few uses, it's all open circuits
