Steelman Wireless ChassisEAR Auto Diagnostic Tool Kit, Identify The Cause of Troubling Vehicle Noises, 4 Transmitters with 50-Foot Range (61082)

Driving at high speeds, it's a relief to have a tool that can easily diagnose potential car problems...The build quality may not be top-notch, but this tool certainly gets the job done with decent quality. While it may not withstand extreme mishaps like a receiver falling off while cruising on the highway, it excels in pinpointing issues like bad bearings that are not yet audible to the naked ear. The included headphones might not meet expectations, but once replaced with a pair of Bose over-ear headphones, the experience is transformed. This tool has proven invaluable in detecting hidden car issues, making it a worthwhile investment for any car owner looking to stay ahead of potential problems.

These work as good as any other chassis ear I have used. They are affordable, costing significantly less than other brands of the same quality. I have used them a couple of times and they have helped me diagnose suspension issues on customer vehicles. They are easy to install and as durable as any other chassis ear I have used previously.

Just received the Steelman Wireless Chassis ear and after installing the provided batteries, I went to test each transmitter and microphone. All four transmitters powered up and all the On/Off switches worked well with a noticeable detent. All four clamp microphones worked, and all cables fit nicely, the station select buttons all worked nice. I like how the case came with the precut storage if you expand the set from 4 transmitters to 6, which I plan on doing in the future. I did have one concern and that was one of the microphones did have a noticeably lower audio output compared to the other three. After switching the mic to other transmitters, I determined it was the mic and not the transmitter. I immediately called the Steelman customer support and spoke with Chris, I explained my situation and he quickly took care of it by shipping out a replacement mic! As a professional, good customer support is very valuable and important in this industry. I will do business again with Steelman Products.

I bought the Steelman Wireless ChassisEAR Auto Diagnostic Tool Kit to chase down some mystery rattles and clunks on my Jeep Wrangler JK, and it absolutely delivered. The wireless sensors make setup fast and hassle‑free—no cords to run through doors—and I could finally pinpoint exactly where the noise was coming from. I attached the sensors to my Jeep’s front control arms, skid plates, and rear suspension, then listened through the receiver while driving. Within one trip, I found a worn control arm bushing that had been driving me crazy for weeks. The audio clarity is excellent, and the wireless signal stays solid even in rough terrain. Compared to cheaper wired noise finders I’ve tried, this kit is far more professional. The build quality is rugged, and the battery life easily lasts through a full day of diagnostics. If you do your own Jeep maintenance or just want to locate suspension or drivetrain noises without guesswork, this tool is a game‑changer.

Excited to use these as I have extensive hearing loss. This product will help me with noise level issues. The quality of everything in the package was great, however I will opt to purchase higher quality batteries than the ones that were included with this product. This product is worth its weight in gold. Comes with Velcro straps for easy install.

So this is a very useful piece of kit and to my knowledge, Steelman is the only company making such a device. There are some rebrands, but they're all Steelman made I believe. The basic function of the tool is fine. The microphones are sensitive, and the receiver intuitive. As others have mentioned though the build quality is just awful. The clips on the back of the transmitters snap under the slightest stress (they can't hold the weight of the transmitter itself going over bumps), the microphone to transmitter interface fits very slopped resulting in the mics getting pulled out easily and ceasing transmission. The plastics are your finest ABS sewer pipe grade, and the whole thing feels quite cheap. That having been said, I understand with this being an occassional use tool, there's a need to cut costs because people aren't going to spend a ton on something they only use once in a while. Things like the case being a bit chinsy is fine, even the receiver feeling as cheap as it does is acceptable to me. But once you start compromising on function with the flimsy clips and bad connections, you've penny pinched too far.

Works reallt good

Came packaged fine. Everything looked new. Put in the batteries and one of the sending units had the power light on and you couldn't switch it off. I assume the switch was defective. I tried working with the three that would shut off. Two worked but one of the sending units didn't register any sound ... may be defective? As I continued to try to test, one of the sending units just sent static that was very annoying and didn't allow me to focus on the noises that I was looking for. Eventually another sending unit stopped working. While I had those problems with the sending units, periodically, the receiving unit would switch to channel one even though I didn't have anything hooked up to it for most of the time I was testing. Overall a frustrating experience! I am returning the complete set I received and will order another just to see if it is a fluke thing. I will update this review when I get a second unit.

Bien!!

Been eyeing this tool for awhile now. It's getting more and more difficult to diagnose some of these suspension noises in vehicles today, with so many bushings and arms noises travel. This tool however, great to be able to isolate certain points of interest and can remotely switch between them to listen for the noises. Great packaging with a solid blow molded case and deep foam keeps the tool well protected.

Muy buen equipo de buena calidad.

Not built for professional use. Very light duty.
