Default Re: Neon Tester Screwdrivers

After my last post I bought a Fluke which were on offer from Toolstation at the time, and it is an absolutely fabulous bit of kit. It will even detect live metalwork within a plugtop or a pattress-mounted socket or lightswitch. It self-tests while you are using it until you switch it off and beeps to confirm it's ok. Live indication is visual and audible. It has auto-shutoff if you forget about it. The quoted sensitivity range is 200-1000V ac.

Non-contact means you can verify continuity of the live conductor in an appliance lead

I see Toolstation have now added a couple of cheaper voltage detectors, and Bangood also have one, but I'd choose the Fluke if I lose mine
