Review on ⚡ Southwire Tools 40116N NCV Detector 100-600V AC: Accurate Voltage Detection for Electrical Safety by Don Barbee

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not very sensitive to voltage testers

This device works, but it needs practical contact with the line under test to register. I literally have to plug the tip into an outlet for the alarm to go off most of the time. This type defeats the purpose of a "non-contact" voltage detector. Despite this, it is still safer and easier to use than a voltmeter to detect current in an outlet.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
