Review on Urwise AC Non-Contact Voltage Tester 2021: Voltage Detector Pen with Buzzer Alarm and LED Flashlight by Tim Sterling

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not as sensitive as I would like, but functional

I bought this to replace a Harbor Freight AC detector that I liked, but the HFT is no longer on sale. I would buy more old ones! This works similarly but not as sensitively as OG. With this the detector has to press really hard against the hot conductor before it will activate and display sound and light emission indicating current. When activated it is accurate but tends to give false negatives unless I'm pressed directly against the correct side of the jacketed conductor.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Has drawbacks
