Do Not drop off a 20" ladder. They will break! I need a low voltage one.

Works right out of the package, comes with batteries. Simple on/off. I like dumb stuff like this that just works. Put it near something hot, it lights up. Turn it off, light goes off. Super dumb easy. Love it. Keeps me from killing myself like a fool on a hot wire while doing self-home-DIY-handy-man stuff without making my wife a widow.

One day delivery. This is a great product and has a very good warranty. You don't have to be an electrician, every houshold should have one.

Works great with the correct amount of sensitivity. It will sense the hot wire in Romex about 3/4" away. Yes it is a little snug going into the outlet socket. But who cares, it works as designed and certainly not going to dock a star for it. I'll blame the China made outlets for that. Well made quality feel to it. For the current price of $21.90 you can't go wrong. Even at higher price it is still worth buying.

Not sure if I am smashing this in my bag, but this will be the last one I order.Ok, three in like 10 years but this is something I use as a quick check on cables running through tray or ducting to see what is or is not hot. Without using it a lot, I would think that it would work longer.I swap batteries regularly, use quality batteries and have never dropped one to my memory. When it does work, it is always spot on.

I first saw this tool being used on that home improvement show, Holmes on Holmes. Mike Holmes was testing all this substandard wiring and figuring out that a lot of it was live when it shouldn't be, using this tool.I am no Mike Holmes, I'm just an experienced do-it-yourself guy, but I have done a LOT of electrical work over the years, including all the electrical work in a full gut kitchen remodel, a full gut bathroom remodel and so on. I have had my electrical work inspected and permitted multiple times without incident, so I do know how to do basic household wiring correctly.The only time I ever got shocked in all that time was in a situation where the original wiring was done wrong. They ran two separate circuits through the same, ordinary light switch box. Who would do something that stupid? Apparently somebody. I shut off the circuit I was planning to work on without incident, but the other circuit in the box was still live and I didn't know it. Fortunately, it was just a 15Amp circuit and so this was more unpleasant than anything else, but it was a nice reminder that, even when you do know what you are doing, you don't know whether the guy who came before you had the same skills you have. In another house I lived in, I figured out that the guy before me actually had two circuits feeding the same outlet (I called in a pro on that one IMMEDIATELY) but you just never know what crazy stuff you might find.This is a great tool to keep you safe from all that kind of stuff. You just wave it near a wire and it tells you the wire is hot with a tone and a bright light. The thing I like about it is that the end of the probe is shaped like one blade of an electrical plug, so it slips into the socket and then the pen will stay there continually making a sound as long as the outlet is hot. That is incredibly handy in trying to figure out whether you have the right breaker or not.It is also a Fluke, which is one of the most respected brands in electronics/electrical testing. This is a high quality product that works reliably every time I've used it.Do yourself a favor -- buy this and use it every time before you do any electrical work. It will help to keep you safe -- it is a crazy world out there. We all know that not everybody who does electrical work should do electrical work. There is a lot of scary, unsafe, substandard stuff out there. Don't get yourself hurt or killed because you couldn't be bothered to buy this and take 5 seconds to wave it at something you are about to work on that you "know" is safe. It is really a no-brainer to buy this and use it every time. I never do electrical work without it now.
