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.
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."

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.
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.

Agreed. I use the pen as a double check, would never rely solely on it.
I have a couple of brands of these, one is Harbor Freight. Hating on it for a a couple of bad reviews out of thousands doesn't seem indicate that a read of this Fluke's reviews occurred. Top 1-star review: "Works inconsistently or is not sensitive enough for general use. a lot of false negatives". You mean you bought and trust the Fluke with THAT review?. Others: "Fluke Volt Alert pen failed after less than 6 months", "Horribly inaccurate".
If you're that worried, buy a couple of brands and use one to check and the other to confirm. And also use a plug tester if you're testing a plug.
