GTC General Technologies Corp FF310 Short and Open Circuit Finder and Tracer, Grey

I have written only 1 product review in the past and this makes it review #2. I am extremely impressed with the performance of this tool. I have been using it for over a year in several situations; troubleshooting farm equipment, skid steers, heavy machinery, boats and other. This tool has paid for itself on the very first use. It works and it works perfectly. It has pinpointed shorts and broken wires with an accuracy of ±1/2 inch of the failure location; very impressive. I almost didn't buy this tool based on a number of negative reviews stating the user is unable to find the electrical faults. In my opinion, the tool is not the problem. There are no tools out there to fix dummies. You still need a good understanding of electrical circuits and excellent troubleshooting skills. This tools will help a skilled troubleshooter find the problems much, much faster. A huge time saver!!!

Item as shown, unit seems to work ok boys are using it, good price and delivery good no damage.

The FF310 is compact but feels like a quality tool in the hand. Reading the instructions is a must to get a good baseline of the tools functionality. I used it to "test" trace a wire in the interior lighting circuit of a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee using the blades in placemnet of the lighting fuse in the main fuse box and I was able to follow the wire without taking anything apart, I did have to use the receiver on its hightest sensitivity setting and it does take a little practice to understand how to maneuver the receivers probe but it worked well none the less. I also used on the same vehicle using the process of disconnecting the RR brake wire at the light and applying 12v to one lead of the transmitter and attaching the other lead of the transmitter to the wire from the brake pedal and it worked just as it did on video. Great tool, I see many uses for it.

Nice little gadget for finding opens and shorts saves alot of time and tape. So you dont have to unwrape the entire harness to visually find shorts.

I rated it in that manner cause I had to figure it out ! but all in all I got it and it took me 2 days but I found the problem it worked well only wish it was louder it did work fine I would not hesitate to use it over n over ,I think I would still be looking for the short still if I did not have it how ever I have a different type I tried using and the results was a waist of time I first received it and in couple days baring the weather it located it and I was up and running . May I add this was a 92 ranger it stopped cold for no reason known it had fuel and all it did turn over /no start so for those that have same problem this short was down near transmission in wire cluster hope it will help some one ,sorry for the inset but if it helps not to junk it out ,buy a GTC FF310 finder
