Post #141397958 added 10-20-2020 11:05 AM by yuyak in Deal Talk
Thanks. I had read something along that line too; I may need to look up some youtube videos. So... would this tester be able to tell me if the electrical box is grounded or not?
Post #141395807 added 10-20-2020 9:54 AM by yuyak in Deal Talk
Yeah, they'd remain ungrounded. From my research (and I'd love to hear if I misunderstood) is that swapping them with GFCI (w/o grounding) will at least reduce risk of electrical fires, even if it...

Those are old and Home Depot is not selling them.

I think these are probably the most basic thing for homeowners who want to do anything with their electrical. They can be used to troubleshoot problems, but are also just good for confirming wires...

Home Depot supporting trump. Not buying from them no more

I believe it will protect you from shock too since the GFCI will still be able to detect the difference in current going in and out. Now I'm curious, I'll look into this when I have time. I haven't...

I need one but now with all negative comments I'm not sure if I should get it. Wish the negative comments came with lower priced and more robust alternatives rather than just propaganda against what...

FYI non-contact voltage testers can and do go bad. Always start a session of use with a test to verify your tester is functional before relying on its readout.

These are great , as long as they are drop tested and water proof to some degree

You're better off with this. To test which is your neutral wire (typically white wire). If there is non you can check with one lead to the metal box or ground wire. And the other to find the "hot"...

There are cheaper versions out there that may or may not be as durable. I usually stick the non-contact tester in the receptacle and flip breakers until it stops beeping. It usually works for the...

If you have ungrounded outlets in an old house you most likely have 2 conductor wires (hot and neutral) for 3 prong or GFCI outlets you need 3, the 3rd being the ground wire. edit: apparently, a...

Can you detect wires through the drywall?

If your home has flexible metal conduit or pipe that hasn't been cut or altered to metal boxes. That should serve as a ground. Not as good as a dedicated wire though. You can check by using a tester...

I really am waiting for the version with the small led flashlight to show up on a deal. That’s usually what I need most as a prosumer. Frees up one hand while probing around things.

Do not use non contact voltage testers to determine if wires "are not live." NCVT should only be used to tell you the presence of voltage. One must use a multimeter/voltmeter to determine if the...

I got these in a bundle with a multimeter a few months back. They’re useful if ur doing outlet work, but super low quality wrt build, so def not worth $20, possibly worth $10.

This is a way to do it but as with any work I would check your local electrical codes before doing anything just to be sure. And make sure the conduit does provide a good path to ground. You never...

Not really meant for casual home usage... it's for electrical crews and for communicating items of interest.
