KEWSTICKDUO Voltage Tester Pen Volt Stick with Dual Sensitivity CAT IV Rated, Pack of 1

I use a lot of Kewtech stuff - well-made and reliable. I bought this to replace my old Kewstick which "disappeared" on a job and was never seen again. I actually find it much better and more useful than the bog standard model, and use it many times a day in my work as an electrician. Firstly, it has an on/off switch Secondly it has an audio & visual [the business end glows red] warning of live conductors Thirdly, it has two sensitivities - useful in areas where there may be multiple live cables. Not perfect but the reduced sensitivity setting gives you a chance of identifying a live cable amongst a few in fairly close proximity. Finally, if left switched on in your pocket, it emits a beep every few seconds to remind you to turn it off [or if you've left it on the floor, a reminder to put it back in your pocket🤣] Essential bit of kit. Although obviously you'll be practicing Safe Isolation and never just relying on a volt stick, will you🤣🤣?

Works well and dose the job .

Well made and works a treat.

Needed a new pen tester. The Fluke and Marindale were mentioned on-line but had previously been recommended a Kewtech socket tester. Found they had a pen tester which had the features I wanted : audible and indicating it was on. Cheaper than the Fluke and has been put to use. Too sensitive. so use it with the lowest sensitivity.

Good quality, easy to use, voltage detector. Don't forget to press the little button which makes it little LESS sensitive, like when you check the correct wiring inside a light bulb socket so it will show the absence of voltage upon touching the neutral part of it, otherwise it will be set off by detecting the voltage of the phase part of the fitting upon aproach. When you got cables bunched tight together, press that little button to be able to check/read each cable individually without the tester being set off by influence of the neighbouring cables in the bunch. Highly recomended over the pen screewdriver testers generally, though a bit too bulky to get into tight spaces.

What makes the Kewtech better than many competitors (and made me choose it over the Fluke) is the simple button that reduces the sensitivity making it easier to identify wires on distribution boards or triple gang switches etc where other live wires are in the vicinity, and still have the high sensitivity as default for normal scanning. Also good is the short flashing beep confirmation that the device is switched on (like the Fluke has, but lots of cheaper ones don't). As always these electric field detectors are never to be trusted 100% to identify a dead cable. Good value for money.

that it works quite well when tested on live circuits

The product generally does what it says, however you can get false indications if the sensor head happens to tap or knock against a cable, so just have to be more gentle and take your time using it.

Perfecto, envío rápido a España, producto de calidad, muchas gracias

Durch die Taste zur Dämpfung der Empfindlichkeit wirklich brauchbar (auch wenn die Drähte näher zusammenliegen)
