I have a Southwire with the 12v mode... Serves me well for basic non contact and small 12v electronics. if that's not you're style I'd say safer to buy a Klein than fool with other brands testing the waters. I have a 2203--20 Milwaukee tester and sometimes it's just too damn sensitive and the button feels too flimsy. I'm sure if it gets dropped on the wrong spot,the button will crack.
Dang it, I bought a new Klein and returned it because it wasn’t at all sensitive. I was hopeful there would be a way to bump its sensitivity up but no luck. this one is trash to. I was hoping it would be able to sense power though outlet boxes and conduit but zero love.
This one is a swing and a miss for them. But, they are taking over the electrical isle and a lot of their new stuff is good, but I feel like it will take a couple years for them to get these tools to where they need to be.
I got the 1 with the light for 5 bucks recently at home depot it's not bad we used it 2day , dude put the phone next to it so I could hear the annoying beeping 2
Just got one before watching today it’s not sensitive like that at all but freaking power button was a little stiff turning it on randomly bent it out just fine I like that it takes a hold of roughly 3 seconds to turn on but I wish it was like Klein with tap to turn off you have to hold it 4 seconds an let off…. To turn off….. good thing I work in service….
@Lysander_Spooner I wanted to try that 1 when they came out I was rocking a 55,000$ flir iron camera n spaceman 40 cal suit After my mom passed I went back to construction then an inspector
thanks I was glad i had my 12 cal gear properly equipped when i pulled the cover off of a 800 a spectra series ge still had 3 of the 4 bolts in it just blew up !!! made contact with an over sized lug kit under the cover a first then c phase to ground not much i could have done HOT Bright Loud pretty crazy stuff @@Lysander_Spooner
I just bought this. (glad I have the receipt). When I get about 3 feet away from my Christmas tree with half a line of non-working bulbs… the yellow lights starts flashing/beeping. Very annoying. Do you have any recommendations for testing Xmas light LED’s?
As you said, sensitive in all the wrong places. Just flushed a $20 down the drain.
@@Sam-hf8nq return it 👍

Yeah they have a bunch of time to perfect this though

Now it’s turning off with 2 seconds probably work with tap in a day or two smh
I use a Flir and love it.
Oh yeah that 1 vibrates too right ?
@@toolsandtactics Yes sir. Nice to have that haptic feedback in a noisy environment. Even has a flashlight in the cap.

Condolences brother.

get the harbor freight one is much better $4
and there is no power button just push and release the button to detect power
Well We just got and ours dose Exactly the same as yours NOT good 😐
As a DIY I use the Ames from HF and it's served me well
Nice, I hate any tester with the "reservoir tip" do they have it?

@BADBRYZ the flukes work well for ncvs.
No l e ds are kinda hard to check
Do you mean like lights individually? The bulb or just the whole string?
@@toolsandtactics Just the individual lights. I hate throwing away a whole strand and/or checking lights individually.
2203-20 is pretty good
Best tester I've had so far.
Was this video sponsored by klein?
Lol. !! No you should try any fluke
I brought this and its fkn sensitive. Was a waste of money sadly.
