Great voltage indicator as I’ve tried several others but would rely on to give a good indication.
I have a really annoying Kewteck which drives me up the wall.

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.

Simply the best, no other volt stick is as trustworthy and reliable as this one. I have tried cheaper alternatives and they do not even come close. Highly recommend this product.

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.

Well this has saved me many times, was going to cut into wires thinking they were dead so I got my trusty pen out and they were live. Great bit of kit
Review for Fluke 2AC VoltAlert™ Voltage Detector by Hayer Electrical Ltd
14th February 2021
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.

Perfect little voltage alert. Fits in the pocket fine, and comes in very handy for checking boilers over before touching them, many a time this has saved me getting a tickle from a stra wire in an airing cupboard. Battery life is great too. Don't have to change very often.

I got this essential piece of kit from Electricfix (Screwfix) . It gives you piece of mind on electrical work, of course you must test this detector on a known power source to prove it.
Review for Fluke 2AC VoltAlert™ Voltage Detector by Cubeko Electrical
28th September 2020
Great to use for quick identification of live conductors. But can give false positives. Always better to get a proper approved GS38 tester. But for your pocket tester or tool bag it will work well for a quick ID
Review for Fluke 2AC VoltAlert™ Voltage Detector by Looks Lovely Limited
26th September 2020
Use it as a quick check to identify cables before using a multimeter. Can give false readings of live cables but this is better than the other way round. Used it to trace a break in a cable to save chopping out.
Review for Fluke 2AC VoltAlert™ Voltage Detector by Ewelectrics
23rd May 2020
Can not fault the ease of using this at all.
Could be a little more sensitive to cables in walls as this only picks up when in direct contact with the cables insulation (in my experience).
For the money it’s a must

Works well for the type of tester it is. I have found I'm starting to get a few false 'live' detections but would never rely on this as my only type of tester anyway.
Review for Fluke 2AC VoltAlert™ Voltage Detector by M. Cox Electrical
3rd February 2020
A useful bit of kit but not to be 100% relied upon. For narrowing a group of live cables down to the dead one I want to cut its quite accurate.
Circuits should also be checked with the correct voltage proving unit.

9th September 2019
A good tool, it works however should never be used as a sole tool to detect if something is live. should always be used in conjunction with a proper voltage meter

I know we aren’t supposed to use or rely on these as a safe isolation proving unit but as a quick check unit for non contact it works. Then if you are doing proper safe isolation procedure you can bring out the proper tester before carrying out the task at hand.

24th March 2019
Fluke are one of the leading manufacturers for testing equipment. The fluke pen is a brilliant little tester but I personally would not rely on the pen it’s self for making sure the circuit is live or dead. Always use a voltage/multimeter tester. Great little tool for your pocket.
Review for Fluke 2AC VoltAlert™ Voltage Detector by Udell Electrical Services
12th March 2019
Really good product. Never let me down. I wouldn’t use it to confirm that a circuit is dead and isolated but it is really useful for fault finding to check for voltage. It’s really useful for fault finding on heating systems to check through the system

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.

Great little tool for your trouser pocket. Ideal for that quick sanity check or checking bonded pipework. Good visual cue and easy to use, seems to do the job for most cabling i’ve dealt with domestically but can be an issue with thick plaster.

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.

These are ok for a notification of power present but always test it first with a voltage/continuity tester before sticking ya fingers in !!

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.

16th April 2017
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.

Have tried many different voltage indicators in my time this is by far best and most reliable I've come across

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.

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

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.
