Great product for the professional
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this product for a few months as a professional electrician that performs service work and new construction of residential and commercial buildings. This thing is tough and hasn't let me down yet. I just have it tossed in my tool bag with my drivers, drills, pliers, etc. and it is still going strong. I haven't had any false negatives yet with the device and that is obviously a good thing since a false negative would be dangerou...

Powerful Design!!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Convenient voltage range selector. As I work sometimes in low voltage circuits I can confident if the line is with voltage, I also work on PV systems and those could exceed 600V, a robust design that you definitely want. Safety First!!!

Solid product!!! Exceeded expectations!!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my 40150N roughly a month ago. My situation is unique in that I work mostly with low voltage. 12-20v. I work in the home security industry. Although I don't handle higher voltages I work next to them all day. Originally I got this to test outlets for power.

The tester that could replace your flashlight!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tester works great. The light on the tip is bright enough to light up a box while tracing wires, but the larger light on the other end is amazing it easily lights up dark rooms and attics. the only con i found is that the 12v mode is momentary, so you have to keep the button pressed while using it.

Tool with a Bright Future
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had received this tool a month ago. I was looking forward to trying out the 12 volt aspect of this tool, and it has preformed better than I could have expected. The light on the end by the clip is a nice light to work under. the one on the sensing end is nice to help you find or see the wire you are checking. It eliminates the need to carry a flashlight.
