Review on Fieldpiece RCT2 Extension Probe Tip by Daniel Shankle

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent needle probes!

These probes are very good, I use them all the time with my Fieldpiece SC660. The two probes are placed in the supplied vertical inner pocket of the flow meter and will not fall out. The length and diameter of the probes are ideal for penetrating wire connectors and the sharp/thin tip is useful for probing defrost board connections. Be careful though, they easily disappear in your fingers when you rampage. The sensor rods are a little flimsy and will bend, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. They easily connect to standard Fieldpiece cables that come with most gauges. The resistive coating surrounding the probe rods isn't very thick and will flake off a bit with normal use, which I expected. I wouldn't recommend keeping that thin protective layer when trying to measure high voltage. Based on my experience in the field, night and even daytime HVAC calls easily go unnoticed if you put them down. So you have to be careful where you put them and think about putting them back in your bag. In summary I think they would make a great addition to any Fieldpiece gauge, they work as intended and the price seems perfect. I will have no hesitation in buying another if I break or lose part of my current set.
