🔦 Klein Tools NCVT-6: Non-Contact Volt Tester with Laser Distance Meter - 12-1000V AC, LED & Audible Alarms, Pocket Clip Review

This thing was comfortable and worked fine for a couple of weeks but stopped working after falling from about waist height just outside the return window. I would consider one for the home, but it's not intended for professional use in the workplace. I'm staying with Fluke.

I do not recommend it. Maybe a good tool for a project manager or evaluator, but in practice. it's too big and heavy, and after a day the screen is already badly scratched. The metering feature is handy and is 98% accurate to 25 feet, so 2 stars, but overall not worth it.

Good accuracy and a must when working on live circuits. Slightly bulkier and less pocket-friendly than the standard Klein tester, which gets annoying at times. The laser measurement works well, but I prefer to use a laser pointer to show what the virus is measuring, but it's still handy to have in one device.

The voltage sensor is sensitive and responsive, readings are very well positioned and easy to read at a glance. The laser is very precise and the measuring function can be set with or without considering the tool length. Units can only be set in feet (decimal), inches (fraction), and metric.

DISCLAIMER: Regardless of what model you buy, when you buy a KLEIN voltage tester it will work as long as it isn't your first time using it falls time. I don't mean from the stairs. I mean if it slips out of your hands, even if it becomes COMPLETELY unusable. It starts beeping at random times for no reason, the display flickers and a rattling noise is heard inside the device. I now have 3 small voltage testers of various models in my tool bag, and a no-frills, always-on, non-brand tester that…

I had a real problem with the device not measuring distances correctly. Many times I've pressed the button to take a measurement and it defaults to 0.033 feet. I got the exact same reading despite measuring from different distances. After several attempts to get accurate measurements from time to time, it gives me the correct measurements as shown in the two photos I posted. Both shots were taken the same distance from the wall to my left where I was aiming the laser. This is very frustrating…
