RELIABLE good for electrics

Simple but clean design. I love that you get a power level and not just a light that tells you you have power like other designs.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • Some bugs

Bright quality tester!

Perfect for me as a repair technician! Significantly brighter than the old models, compact, easily recognizable in the tool box by the orange color!

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Very expensive

Voltage tester for lighting and switches

voltage tester from Klein. Used to check for the presence of voltage in sockets and light switches. The probes penetrate the vessels.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Poor design Probes make reading difficult

Two probes must be plugged into outlets at exactly the same time to measure current as probes are not designed for wall outlets. When the sensor reads "no power," it's hard to tell what's causing it - the outlet or the sensor.

Pros
  • One year test period
Cons
  • Some drawbacks

The best tester for people with little knowledge

This has to be the best small and handy tester you can buy! Good enough for the "pros" and also for those of us who change sockets and switches at home every now and then. Very safe to use and accurately indicates the presence of voltage before you start your electrical projects.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • ---

Works fine for what it is.

Some reviews mention short cables, they are short. The same people would probably cry about being too long if they were longer. In the end, carrying a multimeter wins. In most cases, this little thing is enough. I don't regret the purchase, I use it quite often.

Pros
  • hands-free mode
Cons
  • weak

It works with universal outlets, which is what I needed it for, but the tapered tips don't fit far enough into a standard US 120V outlet to take measurements. I need to cut off the tips and attach new wires so I can test American standard outlets. Don't buy standard American sockets to test, it won't work.

Pros
  • Permanent Test Results
Cons
  • Lots

Works well but cords could be a little longer

Used to replace several sockets around the house. Agree with another review that said the wires could be a bit longer. It is difficult to insert the probes while holding the tester. I inevitably make a problem and leave the tester hanging upside down. I just need to know if the outlet has power. Well it does the job.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Fits
