Kewtech KEWSTICKDUO Voltage Tester Pen Volt Stick with Dual Sensitivity CAT IV Rated, Pack of 1

Never a tool to rely upon for proving dead but a very useful indicator. Kewtech products are always excellent an this is no exception.

I use a lot of Kewtech stuff - well-made and reliable. I bought this to replace my old Kewstick which "disappeared" on a job and was never seen again. I actually find it much better and more useful than the bog standard model, and use it many times a day in my work as an electrician. Firstly, it has an on/off switch Secondly it has an audio & visual [the business end glows red] warning of live conductors Thirdly, it has two sensitivities - useful in areas where there may be multiple live cables. Not perfect but the reduced sensitivity setting gives you a chance of identifying a live cable amongst a few in fairly close proximity. Finally, if left switched on in your pocket, it emits a beep every few seconds to remind you to turn it off [or if you've left it on the floor, a reminder to put it back in your pocket🤣] Essential bit of kit. Although obviously you'll be practicing Safe Isolation and never just relying on a volt stick, will you🤣🤣?

Well made and works a treat.

Works well and dose the job .

Good quality, easy to use, voltage detector. Don't forget to press the little button which makes it little LESS sensitive, like when you check the correct wiring inside a light bulb socket so it will show the absence of voltage upon touching the neutral part of it, otherwise it will be set off by detecting the voltage of the phase part of the fitting upon aproach. When you got cables bunched tight together, press that little button to be able to check/read each cable individually without the tester being set off by influence of the neighbouring cables in the bunch. Highly recomended over the pen screewdriver testers generally, though a bit too bulky to get into tight spaces.

Needed a new pen tester. The Fluke and Marindale were mentioned on-line but had previously been recommended a Kewtech socket tester. Found they had a pen tester which had the features I wanted : audible and indicating it was on. Cheaper than the Fluke and has been put to use. Too sensitive. so use it with the lowest sensitivity.

Read some of the poor reviews, got to admit it can go off at some odd times when putti g it down or carrying it about, but once your in position to use it properly, do a couple of quick tests, then pressing the button for closer work and I've found it 100% accurate. Make sure just the tip it near the wires. Recommended.

It's good that it makes a sound when detecting live cables so its easy to use in trunking. Sensitive detection also works well when cables are relatively close together. Downside for me is the power button, wish it was a slider mechanism or placed on the top because it turns on when I have a number of tools on me or using steps.

Perfecto, envío rápido a España, producto de calidad, muchas gracias

Durch die Taste zur Dämpfung der Empfindlichkeit wirklich brauchbar (auch wenn die Drähte näher zusammenliegen)
