SUBS Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 i had to smile at the irony today, i was asked to check if a socket was actually dead by a client after a fuse was pulled (on works i was not involved with). exsplains i'm not a sparks, used my volt stick being a gody 2 shoe's also a meter and said it was ok as far as i could tell, then the guy asked "do you have a 'proper' tester you know one of those neon driver thingy's to double check with" - as he could not see how the voltstick could ever work reliably being non-contact even backed up by a fluke meter. so showed him it working with an electric kettle, - also gave him this web address for his 'research' regs alan Hope you tested your voltstick by rubbing it on your shirt first Arf. at least the batteries dont fail in a neon, and the larger ones are a great fit in the allen key type screws on the back of some camera housings LOL if you like ! it wotks for me.
