The first day that I had my thermal cam (not a Snap On) I went to a customer's place. I did the job I went there to do and he asked if I would take a look at one of his trucks. It seems that after they were driving for 10 or 15 minutes the headlights would shut off, and "we've tried everything". The camera made it easy to see the hot circuit breaker which had loose terminals in the fuse box. I extracted the terminals and replaced them, problem solved in literally 20 minutes from first look to completed repair, and 10 of those minutes were spent waiting for it to act up. Immediately afterwards, he was complaining that he had about 100 or so partially filled propane tanks, and no good way to tell how full each one was. I grabbed a Sharpie and as fast as I could walk past them I had them marked. Still the same guy, he said that he had a leak in his roof. We went up and it was easy to see the leak- it only took a couple seconds. While I was there I took a call from another customer who complained that his car wouldn't start in the morning. I had him park it inside on the charger until I got there. I walked past the car with the camera, and it took literally 20 seconds to see the hot alternator. Anything taking down a car battery is getting warm. That was the first day that I owned it.
Awesome. I think the ones that use this technology are the ones that are going to excel in this industry as more and more electronics are added to vehicles. Plus the home use stuff is a bonus!!!
Your pace and your presentation really changes with the time of the day ; you clearly had a long day! Very even, mono tone description - easy to follow and informative! No nonsense, thank you!
I have the eeth310 and I think it is one of the best diagnostic tools I have ever purchased! Diagnostics in electrical, and high speed bearings in our forestry equipment has totally been changed for the better. Faster troubleshooting = less down time = more profit 👍
I use a FLIR One attached to my cell phone. cost me about $200. Works great. Pics, Video, etc.. Not as full featured as this device, but 10% of the cost.
I think this will be on my list for 2019. I like the ability to do split screen and take a video. Should make troubleshooting hydraulics and electronics on heavy equipment much easier. Plus no more temp sticks for checking my preheat for welding repairs 👍
Thanks great video I can see how can help diagnose problems in show the customer exactly what is wrong with their car but with a price one of the tool it should really have a case
Thanks Jamie, very informative. LOL@ Slightly-Less-Shy-Jamie's intro. It's a really neat tool, but $1895 puts it out of reach of us DIY guys who wouldn't use it every day.
Have the previous Snap on version. Been trying to use it more and more. But its been about 900.00 paper weight. Up until i tested a bad glow plug relay for fun. Saw batt post get hot and glow plug side stayed cool.. replaced controller and could see both posts show currant along with wiring to the glow plugs that was cool to see. Otherwise been mostly used on seat heaters. Like j said need to use it more to off set the cost. But of course as soon as it was paid off then new version that is almost 2x the price that i paid for older one.
I really like the concept of this tool, but the cost of it really bummed me out, I just can't justify the cost verses benefit. Maybe at a high volume shop it could pay for itself, sorry just my two cents. Thanks for showing it though!!
Jeremy your awesome. But Jaime is too much. I can see she really wants be in the videos but is hesitant. It's her insecurity, I know it.. It only makes herself look foolish hiding her face. Like the time she was writing on the board, to modeling the jacket and now to this. Either be on the Videos or not. It makes viewership very awkward. It's sad to see someone having to fear other people's perception of one's self... JAMIE if your reading this your an awesome human being. Be yourself and hope to see you on Jeremy's videos.
I think I will have to try one
Thanks again for video

I just got the elite and I love it not too familiar with it but watching your vid I can at least get started thanks for the vid! 👍

OMG!! The intro with Shy Jamie was hilarious. That’s one way to keep “shy” on TH-cam.
Yeah that was great.
Your pace and your presentation really changes with the time of the day ; you clearly had a long day! Very even, mono tone description - easy to follow and informative! No nonsense, thank you!
I got a new microphone and I can’t talk too loud or it peaks out. Lol. I’m still working on how to fix it.
I have the eeth310 and I think it is one of the best diagnostic tools I have ever purchased! Diagnostics in electrical, and high speed bearings in our forestry equipment has totally been changed for the better. Faster troubleshooting = less down time = more profit 👍
Awesome. Thank you for sharing!!!
Got mine today. Very cool!
I use a FLIR One attached to my cell phone. cost me about $200. Works great. Pics, Video, etc.. Not as full featured as this device, but 10% of the cost.
I just bought this tool haven't had a chance to use it yet, what sold me was it picking up heat from a resistor in a wrapped harness.
I think this will be on my list for 2019. I like the ability to do split screen and take a video. Should make troubleshooting hydraulics and electronics on heavy equipment much easier. Plus no more temp sticks for checking my preheat for welding repairs 👍
Very nice tool,extremely helpful!
Thanks great video I can see how can help diagnose problems in show the customer exactly what is wrong with their car but with a price one of the tool it should really have a case
Just picked one up. Pretty cool tool but for 2k it would be nice to get a good case. Maybe they will come out one later on.
I agree!!!!!!!
I like it I don't have one Would like to try one but my Snap On guy doesn't have a loaner. Great video Thanks
also works great for troubleshooting Hydraulic systems.
Thanks Jamie, very informative. LOL@ Slightly-Less-Shy-Jamie's intro. It's a really neat tool, but $1895 puts it out of reach of us DIY guys who wouldn't use it every day.
Love it !

I have the old Snap On model hate the slow refresh
But I like the way it shows Me the rout of the problem
I hear that if you turn it on for a min before you use it, it helps.
@@Haasltools Thanks Man I'll give that a shot,have a great day.
Got mine👌
When is the next video and when is the winners of the koozies being announced?

How much would one of these cost when it's on promo?
I just seen that on the tool truck $1800
Does it pick up crop dusters in the shop?
Wens the off road creepers coming out
It's been a week since your last video the world is clamoring.
I got the other one😀
I think that one is a great unit. My guys (that actually use it) tell me all the time how they save time with it.
I like i gonna have
