T90, T110, T130 & T150 all provide single probe contact testing. Not sure about the T5 & T6 range.

I see but like you say when you think about it all

Between the non contact and 2-pole they do most of it,hard to see the point, I didn't bother anyhow

But you got me thinking when you said you didn't use them

Might not have been clear in the last couple of posts - the Fluke testers listed above are all 2 pole, but will indicate voltage if you stick either probe in a live terminal.

With one probe you'll be told voltage is detected, but it takes both probes to find out how many volts.

Just my view...
I have the Fluke T150...it tells me, with one probe, if voltage is detected, and with both probes, what that voltage is.
The Fluke "pen", non-contact voltage tester tells me if it seems likely that a cable is live, and thus warrants checking
The socket tester is a quick and easy way to see if you have switched off the right breaker...the buzzer stops when you flick the switch
Thus, a socket tester is a useful tool
A non-contact "pen" is a useful tool...you can leave it leaning against a cable and flick breakers off
A 2 probe tester can tell you if a circuit has a voltage, and what that voltage is...
and it can also tell you when that circuit is dead...dead and safe to work on
I love my socket tester, and i love my "pen"...so useful in the first instance, so handy tracing stuff...
I just feel more comfortable when my 2 pole tester tells me all is safe
and my proving unit confirms my 2 pole is working
all a load of faff!
but saves lives...

The T5-1000 does not work as a single contact voltage tester. That's why I bought the new Megger MET1000, which does have that function.

MJPD29 · Dec 9, 2021

My t130 provides a warning symbol and audible noise when single probe testing on a live supply, but obviously no reading on lcd screen.

I’ve just seen a video on TikTok where one of these gentlemen was advocating using old stock t&e (red and black stranded) on a job to get around the part p notification.

“That’s been done years ago, Guv”

Just flies in the face of trying to make the industry safer.

The CPS system isn’t perfect, but doing this sort of workaround isn’t helping matters.

I'm sure that's been done many times to be honest.

Probably…. But he shouldn’t be encouraging the public that it’s standard practice.

Yep very true.

Understatement of the century.

The CPS system should be blindfolded, taken outside, and carefully beaten to a pulp.

Both Cjr and Delroy delete and stop any bad comments showing on their pages.
I have commented many times, and it's only me that can see the posts.
Cjr is the shortest but has the biggest ego there are many jobs that must have cost the customer a fortune in materials.
There are many bad jobs /errors made by both of them, in fact Cjr isn't covered by niceic to do eicrs.

After just watching a Nagy YouTube video of him working on a split load Board, tracing a tripping fault.
Very painful to watch.
Also, another one that doesn't allow any negative comments.
He went on quite a bit about rcbo's but failed to mention that they would need to be DP rcbo's to really be of any benefit in an earth to neutral fault.

Don't like being told the truth do they?

Never watch Chris aka CJ the Plumberman anymore as he was so stuck up he got plain boring

Nagy tends to ramble on quite a lot but within the waffle he makes some decent valid points

Delroy I Iike as he just shows the jobs with a brief talk about what he is doing and why and throws in the odd back story about his time as a sparks in the 60s and 70s which i find quite interesting

Bundy I watch from time to time , seems a nice genuine lad

Delroy i quite like but makes so many mistakes it's quite laughable and at times dangerous.
Nagy i watched for a while until I saw some of his fault-finding skills or should I say lack of and giving a C2 because they didn't have RCD when the installation was pre is out of order.
Cjr one word for him starts with a W and ends with an R.

Anyone else see Del's latest? How thr ---- does he not see it's a fused line and neutral cutout and not, as he reports it to be a fuse for the flat he's in and upstairs....Hoe hashe not come across one in his many years?....Oh my days (Bet you read that in his voice?) anyone want to throw a MOCOPA guide at him to help him out?

Just saw cjr s latest where instead of using swa he decided to run 5 mtrs of tails you can see they arent more than 50mm deep so require rcd and where they run down the wall hes put a plate over them for protection with no bonding.

Maybe racking up YouTube views is more important....

Dustydazzler · Dec 19, 2021

Because he is a plumber and that is what plumbers do...

MJPD29 · Dec 19, 2021

Cjrs knowledge is extremely poor he is more of a DIYer from what I can see. He tries so hard to please everyone but from what ican see he takes far too long on each job doing pointless things and deletes any critical comments. A lot of the stuff he does screams incompetence

You are referring to this?

Latest install from Del , he is rewiring what another electrician recently rewired

……filming himself, and possibly having several takes before he gets it “right”

Surely these videos that show the wrong way to do things being taken as the right way… it’s “fake news” and should be called out.

I think Delroy must have gone on a refresher course he's looking semi-competent lately

He's still generally clueless but improving
