Good build and good standard features

Logic probes are relatively simple and reliable benchtop tools that are indispensable for those repairing old electronics. I have a vintage model from the 1980s that has been in use for a long time but lacks a feature that is important to me: audio tones. I'm happy to report that on a recent order, this "impulse item" quickly turned into "why didn't I order it sooner?". The probe tip is perfectly sharp and doesn't slide off the IC's feet or pads easily unlike my old probe. It also came…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Great probe, especially for the price.

I haven't repaired machines in years. One day a friend gave me an old Space Invaders console to play with and I was hooked again. First I built my own logic probe. I'm just made that way. Hi! it was panny! LAUGH OUT LOUD. Anyway, I used it for a while but didn't have much confidence in it. So I chose this sensor because it had all the features I wanted plus a few more. I've tested the ones I've built against this one and it turns out to work fine, I need another hat to protect it a bit more…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Working speed

Works exactly as expected

Nice probe. Appears to be well built. I've only had this for a few weeks so I don't know how long it will last but it has worked great for me. I had a very old 1981 IBM computer with a dead motherboard. I had no experience troubleshooting computer circuits and was told I would need all kinds of analyzers, oscilloscopes, etc. Someone recommended I buy this simple logic probe and it worked GREAT for my problem. Using schematics and advice from people on the internet, I quickly identified a chip…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Great for troubleshooting old computers!

I got my first computer in 1980 and built a homemade logic probe which I used until recently. I started building homemade and complete computers (like 6502s and other vintage microprocessors) and found myself looking at logic probes as an alternative to lugging around an oscilloscope. This works great and I'm glad I bought it. I thought the "sound" feature would drive me nuts and expected it to either mute it or turn it off, but it actually makes it easier to focus on pointing the probe at the…

Pros
  • certified
Cons
  • cable is shorter than other picks
