Review on VT500 Voltage Tester: 12V-300V Non-Contact & Contact, LCD Display, Buzzer Alarm & Wire Breakpoint Finder by Dan Ball

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Handy, value-for-money tester

Handy pocket tester at a reasonable price to have around the house.When I carry the tester in my top pocket I found the screwdriver tip scratching me through my shirt at times.

I solved this by loosely screwing a yellow wire nut on the tip (see photo).To change out the AAA battery, remove the screw holding the pen hook, slide it off for access to the battery (see photo).Unfortunately the one page Operation Manual has such tiny print, I had to read it with a magnifying glass. However, on the revain product page is a video on how to operate it and, further down the product page, there are clear instructions with photos.

Pros
  • Easy to use for both novice and experienced users
Cons
  • The non-contact feature may not work well with wires that are not in close proximity to the tester
