Fluke 1LACAII Low Voltage Detector

I carry one of these in my shirt pocket, it's the first thing I grab for any type of electrical problems. I'll admit I don't trust it with my life even though I've never had a false negative, only the occasional false positive from it (usualy due to motor/microwave/high voltage circuits with loaded capacitors, which do still present a safety risk, but can falsely imply you have power even when you don't). I'll still put a real meter and even short to ground before I go sticking my hands in anything. This does however tell you very quickly if the problem is in the device/equipment in question, or just no power getting to it, a real time saver. Its so simple to use even my 7 year old grabs it to test for power if the light or TV doesn't come on, or to confirm his rechargeable toys are getting power to them. Something not working? Just hold the tip near the power cord, its literally that easy to use, confirms right away if you're getting power to it or not.

i trust Fluke equipment to be and stay accurate and reliable. Quality may cost a bit more but is worth it.
