Review on 🔦 Amprobe VP-440 Non-Contact Voltage Detector - 2734332 by Sean Tops

I have electrical projects that require me to cut into an existing circuit. I can turn off the circuit breaker, but in the attic there's no way of knowing for sure if the wire I need to cut is off. My search for a reliable non-contact voltage detector led me here. I must have looked at all the different brands here on Revain. Many reviewers who were dissatisfied with their current purchase cited the Amprobe brand as something they chose or thought they would buy. That's why I chose this special non-contact voltage probe. ► ATTENTION! Always test this device before using it to make sure it is 100% working! Advantages: + Shipping is free. + Supplied with 2 AAA alkaline batteries. installed.+ Nothing to turn on as it's always on.+ Very sensitive, even detects which side of the cable is HOT! Cons: - Not the cheapest non-contact voltage probe, but sometimes it's better to overpay for quality - Inaudible, just a red flashing light when voltage is detected. Having a horn wasn't important to me, but some might need a horn with a light. Like most non-contact voltage probes, this probe cannot detect the presence of voltage if the cable is shielded. Notes: ▪ When I first tried the probe, it didn't work! I have checked the batteries and they are ok? The problem was at the top of the battery compartment, which was not screwed on tight enough. Once I tightened it, the sensor worked perfectly. ► Update - Jan 19, 2013 Today I used this great tool to make sure the wire I wanted to cut was the right one and to make sure the power was off. I'm updating my score from 4 to 5 as this tool saved me time and works great!
