Simple and reliable.
Although volt pens are not to be used for safe isolation this is a good tool to have when faultfinding.
The fluke voltalert is pen you should have.

The only voltage tester I use, its simply to use with clear audio and visual indicators. Its also very reliable as they last for years and very rarely give false reading which is very important!

Also the 2 year warranty is great as, long as you have proof of purchase, fluke will solve most issues free of charge.

Fluke continue to produce the best volt sticks in the market, super accurate and user friendly and whilst as an electrician I wouldn’t recommend relying on these instruments to safely test or isolate circuits or equipment, they are definitely a good indicator of voltage being present at the least.

A very good voltage detector by Fluke. My main issue I have with voltage detectors is that they are not very reliable as sometimes they don’t detect voltage unless you move it around the cable . I have no issue with the fluke voltage detector as it picks up instantly when you go close to a live cable. Very reliable by Fluke.

As a heating engineer one of the first test we are meant to do is check the casing to a boiler isn't live, this non contact test pen has saved my life on a few occasions. The pen has two modes, visual only or visual and beep. Quality build and long battery life make it the best test pen. As with anything the best it's not the cheapest, but you can't put a price on your life.

Lad who works with me has just purchased one of these as he seems to just go for the better named brands instead of looking asking for advice or reading other reviews. Although a very well known brand, for what it is its pricey, alternative options are available at a more affordable price. Nice item and does as it should just priced due to the brand name instead of being more competitive.

Really handy to keep in your pocket, just as a precaution, and this can always be relied upon, it's nice to be able to stick a quick test on anything you think looks a bit too dodgy to be touching

Had a few of these over the years, always best to go with a trusted well known brand as they are more robust and last!! I've had a few cheap n cheerful ones which I've ended up usually launching into the air at some point! The good ones have lasted I've just lost them or left them somewhere !
These are ok for a notification of power present but always test it first with a voltage/continuity tester before sticking ya fingers in !!

I have a few of these and always keep one in my pocket. Good for quick diagnostics to see if something has power going to it. I have been caught out a few times with it giving false readings if the batteries are low or if it is moved too quick so I always test properly if I am stripping anything down.

Never all that keen on using a safety device called fluke, just seems like tempting fate ;). Otherwise, works well for a good while then starts being erratic so I buy a new one about every year. I like them.

Used it religiously for six months or so and then it would start turning itself on or off of its own accord in my trouser pocket. (The long ones on work trouser legs not the wallet/keys ones). I've changed batteries when required and it made no difference.

I found that sometimes it wouldn't pick up when i knew a cable was live and vice versa it would give false readings on dead cables.

Try rubbing one on your sleeve and see it give a reading off the static.

I've gone back to using a multimeter and a voltage tester as I know I can rely on those.( Both made by Fluke)

I love Fluke but I don't think these instruments as a whole should be relied upon to verify safety, I also don't think that the Fluke one is any more worthwhile than a cheapo screwfix etc. one.

I've had about 5 of these over the past 5 years and they are an awesome bit of kit, very handy for simple things like checking to see if a Pump has a supply or not.

I have had 5, not because they are breaking but because I keep losing them.

They do sometimes show a false voltage but it's better that way than the other.

Best volt stick out there, I've tried a few in my time. It's reliable due to the flashing indication that it's turned on and a double confirmation of Voltage detection via a solid light and beep. These devices are not suitable for a proper safe isolation prior to working on a circuit but handy when needed.

The best one I’ve been able to find. I have had some that vibrate and make noise aswell as light up and they seem to all break a lot more quickly. I wouldn’t change to another brand.

Answered on 21st July 2018 by Brite Spark Electrical

The Klein one is the only one I’ve found more reliable than this. It also operates at 0-50v as well.

Answered on 28th July 2018 by Crawley HVAC Services

Definitely the best volt pen that I’ve had, I have 2 of these, one in my pocket and one back up in the tool box. When it comes to electricity you should only use quality gear.
