Would RecommendIt works very well. The only thing I don't care for is that it's to sensitive. It's hard it tight quarters to figure out which wires are hot if there are multiple wires in the box.

Works fantastically!
Would RecommendI have used this at home but also at work working on 12v vehicle electrical systems. The low voltage mode was picking up as little as 2.4v dc

Great tester
Would RecommendGreat little non contact voltage tester and came with two flashlights one on each end to help see work easier. Great tool to double check to see if the power has been turned off to a outlet or switch or to see if a circuit is hot.

Really good product
I replaced an old one that had three small button batteries which were not feasible to carry around due to easy loss. This Southwire brand uses a AAA battery which I carry around these and use regularly plus the features were awesome and work great every time I use it.

Fragile
Would Not RecommendUsed for light duty DIY stuff around the house for ~6 months, then dropped it like 8" while crouching and it broke forever? Not even cosmetic damage to the outside, but the internals are lunched and it won't turn on anymore. Just a little blip of the LED when you press the power button then nothing. Seemed sturdy when I bought it, but I guess it's made of eggshells on the inside.
