Each probe is designed to pierce the outer insulation of a wire, make contact with the conductor underneath, and connect to a multimeter or test light for an accurate reading, then seal back up so the wire stays protected from moisture and corrosion once testing is complete. This makes the set especially useful in the marine environment, where re-stripped or nicked wire ends are a common source of future corrosion and intermittent electrical faults.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePiercing probes like this set are commonly used for diagnosing boat wiring harnesses, trolling motor circuits, bilge pump wiring, navigation lights, and other 12-volt and low-voltage marine electrical systems where quick in-line testing is needed without disturbing a finished wire run. The set is compact and lightweight, making it easy to keep in a tool bag or tackle box alongside a multimeter for routine troubleshooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sierra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18-99555\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Piercing Probe Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Specialty Tools\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 736983855107\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Sierra 18-99555 Piercing Probe Set used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a set of piercing test probes used to check voltage and continuity on insulated wiring without cutting or stripping the wire, which is useful for marine electrical troubleshooting on boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the piercing probe damage the wire insulation permanently?\u003c\/strong\u003e The probe tip pierces the insulation just enough to contact the conductor for testing; once removed, the small puncture point is much less invasive than cutting or stripping the wire, though it is still a piercing action rather than a non-invasive clamp test.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan this probe set be used with a standard multimeter?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the Sierra 18-99555 Piercing Probe Set is designed to connect to a multimeter or test light so you can take voltage or continuity readings directly on the wire being tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Sierra Piercing Probe Set weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-99555 Piercing Probe Set weighs 0.3 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this set suitable for marine 12-volt wiring systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, this set falls under specialty electrical test tools and is commonly used for diagnosing 12-volt and low-voltage marine wiring such as bilge pumps, navigation lights, and trolling motor circuits.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat brand is part number 18-99555?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 18-99555 is manufactured by Sierra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Sierra Piercing Probe Set a single probe or a set?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is sold as a set of piercing probes, not a single probe, as indicated by its product name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of tool is the Sierra 18-99555?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Sierra 18-99555 is classified as a specialty tool, specifically an electrical piercing probe set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the Sierra Piercing Probe Set help find intermittent electrical faults?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, piercing probes allow you to test a wire at multiple points along a harness, which helps isolate intermittent connections or breaks in marine wiring without disturbing the finished wire ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for the Sierra 18-99555 Piercing Probe Set?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Sierra Piercing Probe Set, part number 18-99555, is 736983855107.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sierra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48988446458075,"sku":"SIE-18-99555","price":100.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/CDI-511-9770_lg__49292.1558114751.500.750.jpg?v=1785329176","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/sierra-18-99555-piercing-probe-set-marine-specialty-tool","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
