Quote from Szuch123 :
The only thing I don't like about this is there's one way to turn it on so it doesn't beep, and another so that it does beep (lights still go off)... Just be aware.

Other than that, works well.
Operating Instructions:


Disabling the Audible Beeper
Disable the beeper by holding the green button down for more than 2 seconds during
power up. To enable the beeper again, turn the unit off, and then turn it on.

I get it, it's just nuanced, pushing to turn on, accidentally pushing a little longer and not meaning to disable the beep, seeing a red light but expecting a red light and a beep.

I posted here on Slick Deals a sale that is $30 for two NCV meters of Klein Brand. They are newer in design than this model as you can see by the updated battery cap. The older fluke models without the cap had a tendency to break at the clip when trying to take out the battery.

This pair is found on Lowes, it's called the 24KIT3xT. What you get are:
Model# NCVT3P as well as model# 24KIT3XT. YMMV
I hope this deal helps someone else out there, if so give me a thumbs up please. It's my first Slick Deals post and somebody gave me a -1 already.
TIA - Thank you in advance
The Klein ones are terrible.

I've had zero issues with Klein detectors. Maybe these other people are holding them wrong.

My Southwire NCV tester stopped working just when I needed it; leaky alkaline battery! Looked around for something nicer and narrowed it down to Fluke 1AC II or Klein NCVT3P. I like Fluke meters in general so went with Fluke 1AC II first. Fluke 1AC II looks sturdy and works very similar to my old Southwire tester. However, the blinking red LED turns to solid red upon detecting live voltage can be a bit confusing especially when one doesn't use the tester often.
Klein NCVT3P is $29.73 at Amazon. I ordered the Klein NCV tester kit from HD https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein.../321433630 for $29.98 which contains NCVT3P and RT250 receptacle tester; thinking the RT250 must worth more than $0.25Smilie I actually like the NCVT3P better and keeping it. NCVT3P's green LED turns red upon detecting live voltage is much more intuitive to me and it supports silent operation. The RT250 receptacle tester is a nice add-on. Of course, I'll be putting Energizer Ultimate Lithium AAA in these testersBig Grin

Quote from MyDealHunter :
About Chinese fakes on Amazon...

What about buying from the brand name Channel? Type in "Fluke channel" in search bar. Are you not buying it direct from Fluke on that channel?

A little research:

A "brand name channel" on Amazon refers to a dedicated storefront within the Amazon marketplace where a specific brand can showcase and sell all their products under their registered brand name, essentially acting like a mini-website within Amazon where customers can browse only that brand's offerings; this is typically achieved by enrolling in Amazon Brand Registry and creating a branded storefront page.

Key points about a brand name channel on Amazon:

Brand Recognition:

Customers can easily identify and access products from a particular brand by clicking on the brand name on a product listing.

Brand Control:

Brands can manage the presentation of their products, including descriptions, images, and branding elements on their dedicated store page.

Amazon Brand Registry:

To create a brand name channel, a seller needs to register their brand with Amazon through the Amazon Brand Registry program, which requires a registered trademark.

Benefits:

Access to additional features like enhanced product listing capabilities, brand protection tools, and the ability to run targeted marketing campaigns.
I have a friend who works for Schneider Electric in a position to know and they don't sell their breakers direct to Amazon but yet they have a Schneider Electric brand page. He said a partner/wholesaler set that up and he's had a hell of a time dealing with Amazon to get it taken down.

The "brand" store isn't always run by the organization you're looking for. Schneider sells a ton of "Square D" breakers and that brand page only shows a fragment of their products, because it is fake.

I don't think I'm a prepper or edc guy (except for a small key chain niteize doodad) but after seeing the ca wildfires and a piece on the maui fires, I'm going to dig up my old greenlee tester (like that it uses 1 aa) for a "go bag". In maui a downed power line backed up a whole line of cars due to existing police policy never to cross the line until the utility removed it. If someone had a noncontact sensor or could have located an electrician with one in the blockade they could have escaped the danger. I don't think the 1kv upper spec should be an issue as one would just sense farther away before the device limits. Also, some newer multimeters have the non contact feature built in for the "really prepared".

Is this similar to a Brand Store on amazon, that have been known to sell counterfeit merchandise? What assurance does one have that the merchandise is genuine, sourced from a reputable wholesaler …?

The guy in the video is just a handyman. I would rather hear from experienced electricians about the durability of the models than just having him dropping them on the ground like he did....
