Review on SmartCheck Electric Fence Tester Voltmeter by Jonah Koehnke

I just got this and I really hope I don't see what others break in a year. Like I said, if it breaks, I'll get a new one. I had trouble with the fence where it was farthest from the box. I've tried tracking the deterioration with other fence testers but haven't been able to track the issue. I even tried replacing the box thinking maybe the box wasn't strong enough. This thing arrived and in less than 10 minutes I tracked down the various points on each line that were causing a power outage and repaired the fence in record time. For the time this device saves me looking for trouble spots on the fence, I'm happy to buy a new one every year if the need arises. The readings are very bright and easy to read on a bright, sunny day. .The fact that it gives you the actual power at the fence rather than turning the lights on or off makes it easier to track brownouts. The transparent body isn't glass, it's a polymer, meaning it's very strong and won't break easily as some fear. Because you don't actually have to touch the fence (better reading if you're touching it or within an inch) to get a reading, it's much easier to take readings of your fence than other "grounded" fence testers. If you want to test multiple locations, you don't have to keep moving the ground point so you can take measurements elsewhere.
