Innovative Products Of America - 9107A Electric Brake Force Meter with Dynamic Load Simulation and Circuit Testing - Black Review

Although expensive, this tool makes it easy to diagnose and test the side circuits of a truck's light/trailer braking system. Saves you having to hitch up to a trailer for testing every time.

Very good product. Definitely an indispensable tool for everyday mechanics. Ideal for the professional. Tested several vehicles that worked correctly, although the customer swore there was a problem with the brake controls. It turned out to be a wiring issue with the trailer. This tool saves time and nerves.

Tried a cheap 7 blade trailer tester but the truck didn't recognize the tester as a trailer when the brakes were applied though it seemed to work that way when the tester was first connected. So I bought this device and it recognizes the controller and applies the load. Now the truck recognizes the new tester as a trailer and I can test all functions including the brakes.

If someone is towing different trailers with different tractors, doing it alone saves a lot of time. My problem was determining if a 2012 Dodge 1 ton or trailer was causing intermittent continuity issues. I've used simple warning lights for years, but with this tool I was able to determine that I had a trailer problem, and my second tractor, a 2002 Ford 350, also had tractor problems. It cost $145+ because my time is precious.

Bought one of the $10 7 pin testers to diagnose trailer brake problems on a 2017 F350. A cheap tester didn't help with 12v to the trailer, nor with the trailer brakes themselves. Due to the way vehicles have changed I needed a more sophisticated tester to make sure the truck wasn't the problem. It took me less than 5 minutes after receiving this item to determine that the trailer was the problem and the truck was throwing both 12v and trailer brake lights through the 7 pin. Very easy to use and

Forget those cheaper trailer plug testers when they don't apply a load to the controller. Without this, they don't show that the wiring and controls are working. This instrument applies this resistance so you can easily and accurately assess the condition of your wiring and controller. I can't praise this tool enough after spending hours looking at cheap alternatives which leads me to believe there is something wrong with my new controller setup. I wish I had invested in this tool sooner…

The resources available to diagnose the COMPLETE and correct operation of a 7-way hitch by the average trailer owner (and repair shops) were very limited prior to the introduction of this product. This tool takes into account the many different "theory of work" that various OEMs use to control the exits of their 7-lane trailers. These theories can also differ depending on the year of manufacture of the same OEM. The two most valuable features are: 1) the ability to check the "gain" if (IF) that
