    Does more than the old neon testing screwdriver did

    Has a little coin cell plus some electronics and an LED so as well as a check for live mains like a neon tester it can check continuity of fuses, give an indication of whether an AA type battery has some charge in it, plus non contact detection of mains electric current - like from a live wire behind a wall switch. Finally it has microwave leakage but I have not tried that. Only improvement would be a better LED as the red light tends to shine down to the tip of the screwdriver rather than out sideways as my previous (lost that one) did making it not too easy to see in bright light. But it works and is so cheap you can keep a couple handy.

  • Most critical review

    It does about half it claims it can

    It might be me, but I couldn't make this pen do half of what it claims on the package. It says that it can tell you if there is power in a cable by tracing it, so I switched on the kettle and tried to trace it, but nothing showed up. I also tried with the iron, and the same result. There are other claims there I couldn't reproduce. Ok, here is sthg positive about it: the neon light is good, ie highly visible, probably even with the sun shining on it! Well done for that. If it claimed less, it would have got more stars!

  • Extremely handy

    I have carried one of these in my pocket since discovering them many years ago. This is the FET based design which gets brighter if the tip is more positive than the cap. Very useful for a number of quick fault- finding tests but learn its behaviour as it is very sensitive and you always need to check against a known condition. This particular test screwdriver with the blue tint is the better quality version given that they are all Chinese anyhow. I made a plastic cap for mine so I don't poke myself through my pocket.

  • Extremely useful around the house for anything electrical.

    The mains tester bulb is particularly handy so you dont go poking around high voltage wires and possibly getting a lethal shock. I now find it indispensable. Good value. I don't know why I havent bought one of these before.

  • Effective and simple to use

    Makes it so easy checking fuses and bulbs, read the instructions if using on mains voltages though and use the proper precautions (if you don't know these you shouldn't be working on mains voltage)

  • Good product

    Used only for testing mains current but worked well and is also a decent screwdriver for electrical connections. Needs a battery, but mine still going after many months.

    Very handy tool especially for checking continuity. Very good for checking fuses and light bulbs and broken wires and circuit's.

  • Electrical test screwdriver has good s/c test

    Apart from the usual "mains live" test - and it's quite sensitive, it's ability to test for short circuit (conduction) for example in a fuse, lamp or circuit makes it invaluable. And it's a good screwdriver, well made. I think it is an excellent product - I bought this as a spare, having used an identical test screwdriver for many years, and Its internal battery has lasted - it's not dead yet.

  • Too sensitive

    This screw driver shows electric circuit going between my hands and most of other non-exactly-electric objects. The only reliable use for it I can thing of is to test things that you dont expect should be live, like old sockets
