VDIAGTOOL V210 Wire Tracer Electrical Tester Automotive Open & Short Finder Circuit Tester, Circuit Breaker Finder, Broken Wire Detector Tool DC 6-42V with 7" Flexible Probe

As a master automotive technician with over 23 years of hands-on experience majority of my day to day involves in diagnostic work. I'm always on the lookout for tools that make the job more efficient and accurate. The V210 has quickly earned a spot among my daily go to diagnostic tools, especially when it comes to chasing down wiring issues like open or short circuits. Recently, I had a vehicle with an open fuse issue caused by an alternator wire that had broken at the connector and was shorting to ground. Using the V210, I was able to quickly pinpoint the issue without any guesswork. The process was smooth and painless, this tool made a potentially time consuming job quick and straightforward. What sets the V210 apart is its simplicity and effectiveness. It’s compact, easy to use, and extremely helpful for electrical diagnostics. If you do any kind of wiring or circuit work, this is one of those tools that will absolutely save you time and headaches. With all that being said, I do have two suggestions/recommendations that I hope the manufacturer considers in a future update: Continuity Testing with Audible Tone, Currently, the tool uses an LED indicator for continuity checks. Adding an audible tone would allow users to hear confirmation without needing to keep their eyes on the device, especially helpful in cramp areas like under dash or when working alone. Receiver LED Indicator: The receiver unit relies solely on an audible beep, which can be difficult to hear in a noisy shop environment. Adding an LED visual indicator would make the tool more accessible, especially for those who may be hard of hearing or working in loud areas. Overall the V210 is a highly capable and user-friendly tool that’s already proven its worth in my daily workflow. With a couple of small improvements, it could be nearly perfect. I highly recommend it to any tech who regularly works with vehicle electrical systems and it's very affordable!

This is an inexpensive and awesome tool to find electrical shorts or open circuits in automotive circuitry. The key to making this electrical device work correctly is to READ THE INSTRUCTIONS a few times as to familiarize how this tool works efficiently / properly. Remember to always shut off the transmitter and the sensing wand. Does not have auto shut off. Will drain the 9-volt batteries if you are not paying attention. Another point that should be noted and corrected by the manufacturer, the battery compartment was designed too small to fit the average 9-volt battery. Had to use Dremel to grind away the 4 light blue handle tabs protruding into the battery compartment. Needed to grind them back about 0.050 and also grind another 0.025 from the very bottom end of battery compartment because the 9-volt black plastic connecter cap is too thick when connected to the battery and makes impossible to fit any battery into the battery compartment. ... But other than that, ... is an awesome diagnostic tool to have!

If you're a professional Auto technician or a do it yourselfer, this is a very inexpensive tool that you should have in your toolbox. I have used it several times and it's saves me lot's of time in finding a broken wire in a harness on vehicles. Takes the guess work out of wiring shorts and faulty wiring harnesses. The sound is adjustable "handy with ambient shop or vehicle noise" It's accurate, easy to use Led is bright and easy to see . Pays for itself the first time you use it. With late model vehicles basically being a big computer with many electronic controls in order to operate everything in the vehicle, on a broken wire of any length or a short can make it hard to diagnose a problem, A good scan tool might not discern a a break in a wire or harness, and show a code. So this enables you to find out why your getting a fault code, when the real problem isn't the sensor or control, but the communication from the ECM to the control due to a break in the wire. This company also has a large line of great testing equipment to work with this probe. You owe it to yourself to check them out. I made my purchase on Amazon, so if I didn't like the tool or had a problem with it, it's no problem because I could have returned it. Sorry that I didn't take any photos, but the instructions that come with the tool are straight forward and easy to understand. Plus there are videos on you tube and such on these tools. Hope that this helps you out. Keep spinning those wrenches and making $$. God Bless

I picked up the VDIAGTOOL V210 mostly for basic automotive electrical diagnostics, and for the price it’s actually performed better than I expected. It’s lightweight, easy to set up, and the included 9V batteries are a nice touch so you can use it right out of the box. I’ve used it to trace a couple of open and short circuits on 12V car wiring, and the tone/LED indicators work pretty well once you get used to adjusting the sensitivity. The probe is flexible enough to reach tighter spots, and I was able to follow wiring harnesses without stripping insulation, which saved a lot of time. The tool isn’t perfect — the signal can be faint at times if the wire is shielded or buried deep in a harness, so you have to reposition the probe and tweak the sensitivity knob. It also seems to depend heavily on having fresh batteries. But once you figure out how it likes to be used, it becomes a pretty reliable helper for DIY troubleshooting. Overall, for around twenty bucks, it’s a solid little wire tracer that does what it claims. Great for hobbyists and good enough for most everyday automotive and small DC electrical work.

It works and does what its supposed to. Its definitely accurate and you can hear the tone of it for sure. Used on 2018 ford mustang, 2018 VW tiguan. It surprisingly works. Great purchase.

Bought this because I thought it was a really cool device. didnt have to use it right away just wanted to have it. A couple months down the road and I finally need it. Open it up hook it all up and the tone function doesn't work. it beeps when its next to the transmitter box but does nothing other than that. Complete trash wish I could return it but the window is closed. So hopefully this saves you from making the same mistake I did.

3 star to be fair. It won't help much tho as the sound signal is not that clear if there is a short circuit. If it randomly sounds alarm.... what good is it.

If you're dealing with electrical gremlins in cars, motorcycles, trailers, or even lawn equipment, the VDIAGTOOL V210 is absolutely essential. I used it to track down an open wire in a tail light circuit that would have taken me all day using a multimeter alone. With this tool i found it in under 10 minutes. Fast & Accurate: It instantly pinpointed the break under the insulation without needing to strip wires. No more guessing or replacing parts blindly. Simple Setup: probe the wire, and the tone leads you straight to the issue. No training needed—plug and play. Worth Every Penny: Even if it only works once, it pays for itself in time saved. This tool turned a nightmare into a quick fix. Compact and Durable: The kit is lightweight, and the build feels solid. I tossed it in my toolbox with no issues.

Très belle autillage
