Anyone seen these yet?

Pretty much the exact same as the Powerprobe 3 but you can measure resistance and amps. Surely there's some sort of infringement here? It's nearly identical in looks and features

Haven't seen it yet. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
A long, long, time ago before Powerprobes were all the rage, a small tool company named Thexton had the 187 power on tester which I've always considered the grandfather of today's powerprobes so, who know if a powerprobe is proprietary or not.

I do know Autel stuff is selling like hotcakes right now.

We have the Autel scanner as well. I also have a Power Probe 3 that I have been using for MANY years. I have been far more impressed with the quality of the Power Probe than the Autel. If it was a choice between the two brands with a nearly identical item I would buy the PP brand. I do like the idea of the added features on the Autel brand though, I just haven't been so impressed with Autel's quality.
