Featured Comments

Read the one star reviews on the Harbor Freight and you will know. I bought this Fluke on the Prime Day deal after reading reviews on literally dozens of models, and there is a wide range of quality, even among the name brands. In my mind, when dealing with something potentially dangerous, price should not be the primary factor in the decision.
I don't have the harbor freight one, but a craftsman, but even if it was Fluke brand, I would still test it on a known live circuit.
It's a "simple device" where a flaw/failure could threaten your life. Not necessarily something you want the cheapest possible option for. Better to trust a reputable brand than one whose warranty is a revolving door of replacements lol

Got one of these for free years ago. Melted it by accident by leaving it in a container with some leaky solvent.... still my best and most reliable hot stick.

Fluke is definitely the leader, but how does it compare to say a harbor freight one for like 8 bucks?

Still seems pricey when it's such a simple device.

It have 60 one star out of 3055 total with an average of 4.5 stars

most of the 1 star reviews are "the button broke" and "probably a defect"

seems still like a solid bet for someone who seldom uses it to replace 120v outlets and switches
They're usually on sale for 2.99 at my location so I could buy a few to lose around the house and still be ahead

Plus if its not like i dont have a decent voltmeter lol

"Probably a defect" is not something I want to hear when working with electricity, but feel free to take your chances. Especially when the second-posted one star review says "NO response when inserted in socket."

Remember when we all got these for free? Old SlickDealers (and, at the time, Fat Wallet) remember. Still got mine.

This is Cat 4, the higher CAT rating is almost always the safer rating.

For the folks arguing over harbor freight one vs this, your quality arguments are valid, but this should never really be used alone and 100% trusted. This is part of 1 of 3 tools you need when wiring or doing diy. These tools are listed below and can be used to check each other. 1. Voltmeter 2. Non contact voltage tester. 3. A plug tester.

These can typically be bought relatively cheap and all in single kit.

Which is what the instructions tell you to do. But who ever reads instructions when disregarding them might kill you?

Agreed. I use the pen as a double check, would never rely solely on it.
