One of the handiest tools I have!
We recently moved into a new house that had a bit of unfinished work. So when it came to tracking down the 220 lines in my garage, this is the tool I went for! I was told there was a 220 line but not sure where to look. This Volt Detector saved me from having to call a pro & pay them the min charge to track it down.Small, compact, fits nicely in my tiny tool box! I now use it every time I need to check whether a line is hot, 2 on my front porch were just hanging out of the wall, I found out that one of them was hot BEFORE my dog licked it!

I use it all the time
This product I carry with me all the time and it's like not having a pen when I don't carry it?My reasons for using this is 1. cost (I have lost 2) 2. ease of use 3. small in size comes in so handy without needing a wiggy or VOR meter.My main concern is to double check and make sure all wires are dead before touching ANY wires?If your not sure GET A METER!Thanks Bruce

Every DIY'er should have this for those electrical jobs
Compact, easy to use and carry, even in tight places. Not exagerating when I say could be a life saver.

This is a very robust non-contact tester
I use this tool instead of a fluke the cost is much better and you don't get the annoying beep or constant flashing you get from other non- contact testers. This is a very good product and robust I have dropped mine from a knuckle boom and still it works. Great job guys.
