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

Revainrating 1 out of 5

It's not accurate and inconsistent.

This little tester has a nice digital readout display. Can test various voltage types.supposingly. I have used this on several jobs and I found myself testing the same wire twice and got different readings with this tester. Sometimes this tester wouldn’t even recognize a live wire until I physically touch the probe to the wire. Same with some wall outlets. I would have to push the probe into the outlet before it even reads anything. Unfortunately to me this is a huge safety issue when working with high voltage wires. I wouldn’t recommend this unfortunately.
