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 weird, I bought the cheapest voltage tester at Lowes, a Kobalt one, and I could get positives without actually touching the wire. It was very useful. I lost it and bought a more expensive...

This is what i came to say. The shills seem to be prevalent here to fill up the first page of comments. Someone brought up the harbor freight cheap option, and others came in saying "oh the 1-star...

Customers say Customers like the performance, durability, and sound quality of the voltage detector. For example, they mention it works great, is dependable, and has a more professional feel and...

Any should trigger without touching the wire. You should even be able to stick it near a socket and it should go off.

Yeah I'll have to pass then. I simply want to know if there's live current nearby that will kill me if I touch it. Helps me figure out if I hit the right breaker before doing electrical work. I have...

I had the same experience, which i was surprised by. While I love fluke tools I kept my klein one over the fluke.

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,...

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...

"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...

Amazon has Fluke 1AC-A1-II VoltAlert Non-Contact Pocket-Sized Voltage Tester (1AC-A1-II) for $23.99. Shipping is free w/ Prime or on $25+ or $35+ orders (minimum requirement varies by location). ...

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.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the probe size on the Fluke. It is too large to fit in modern plug sockets. The Ideal one does. I've got both.

Exactly. I have an old beat up Greenlee tester that works fine, and a newer Craftsman that recently died. I replaced it with a Fluke that was on sale. Whether using the old Greenlee or the new Fluke,...

I was trained by a Master Electrician. One of the first lessons: On/Off/On. Test something known to be live to ensure the meter is working, then verify the wiring you're working on is off, then...

No, this Fluke does not work like that. I have had testers that worked that way, they would signal even when they were a few inches away from a voltage source. That is fine if all you want to do is...

Get a outlet tester. I prefer the smaller ones. The tester you have your pocket or electric go bag, is lot better than the one you left home. The Southwire "40022S GFCI Receptacle Tester", Klein...

You all worrying about a little zap ... my grandfather used to carry around a mini screwdriver that had a small bulb in it. You'd stick it in the socket and it would light up if there was voltage. ...

What is the problem of the outlet when the detector detects but the outlet doesn't actually provide any power?

I'm late commenting on this post, but good call. I have a Fluke multimeter which is a beast and I love it. I bought this on Prime Day 'cause I couldn't pass up a deal, but returned it immediately. I...

I have this and the Klein one. With the Fluke, I had a time where it didn't detect the GFCI as energized, but the KLEIN did. The GFCI was energized. After that incident, I stop using the Fluke....

Read the recent reviews, this one is pretty unreliable.

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...

The "shills" that you're referencing are SDers with long term accounts with posting histories that don't support your claim. Fluke's well known amongst industry professionals for their equipment,...

Fat Wallet was my first and primary deal site for many years before Slickdeals got the monopoly. Good times :)

I picked one of these up on Prime Day, and I've already put it to use half a dozen times (rewired some fluorescent light fixtures to bypass the ballast and replace them with LED tubes, replaced a...

Probably a switched outlet and they broke the wrong one. You break the hot, not the neutral. If you touch the hot and then a ground, you'd get shocked. Could be the ground is energized somehow...

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.

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...

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.
Post #165764335 added 09-11-2023 12:24 PM by drsgrinch in Deal Talk
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.
