fluke lvd2 volt light

[Dave-Titan]

got mine today and i think its great, the volt detection is really sharp, even picks up cables in walls (as long as not too deep)! the led light is also handy. only down side is theres no tone.

i wouldnt pay the rrp price of 29.99
but 22 including postage i feel wasnt bad

They survive being left in your trousers and going through the washing machine, once it's properly dried out, as well!

i'm sure there are better ways of testing the element in the machine.

 

[Dave-Titan]

haha good to know, do they bounce well?
and er was the machine live?

 

[Silly Sausage]

Haven't bounce tested it.
I'm too big to fit in the washing machine to see if it was glowing red.

Got mine today for £19.19 on ISSWWW, great little piece of kit, and the led on it is brilliant. A friend of mine told me that they are'nt very reliable and a volt indicator is better... what the hell is a volt indicator?

 

[Dave-Titan]

mines really good, i'm yet to use one that is 100% all the time but its def one of the best ive used

erm i thought this was one?

Good for finding which light has gone on the xmas tree.

They have their uses, I'll agree. However, using one as part of a 'safe isolation' process is certainly not one of them.

I'm of the mind that they are more dangerous than they are useful, as they can encourage sloppy practice in the area where you least want sloppy practice

Have'nt had a chance to use it on site at all yet, but after checking sockets in the house found that it is'nt 100% reliable, deffinetley a tidy piece of kit but would solely rely on it for safe isolation unless I was just double checking after leaving the area for a while... the LED torch is brilliant though, can't stress that enough.
