Might be a little bulky for most. But the added flashlight is key, and readings are spot on. Even detecting compromised wires inside of their rubber coating/housing. Skeptical on the actual battery life, but that's yet to be seen.

The Ayitam Voltage Tester is a handy, inexpensive device for the DIY home maintenance user, eliminating the need to grab raw wires to find the live one; I’m joking, don’t do that. Fool someone else into doing it for you. I’m still pulling your leg, don’t do that either, unless it’s someone you don’t wish to be friendly with anymore. Better yet, use the Ayitam Voltage tester to stay safe.The Voltage Tester is simple to operate. You can touch raw wire, coated wire or jam it into an outlet to test for current. You can also do all of the same to differentiate between live and ground wires. The tester has three buttons, on/off, one for the incorporated flashlight, and another used to change between two voltage ranges of detection. It lets you know its detected electricity and a general notion of how much by flashing some number of red bars between two and six. It beeps too, in varying degrees of urgency. And it does all of that efficiently and just like the seller says it should.Moreover, the tester is rated for a water resistance of IP67 should you be inclined to test for live voltage underwater. I’m being facetious again, please don’t do that; you’d be missed. Despite its IP67 rating, water and electricity are not two elements you will usually want to mix.The Ayitam Voltage tester is economical, simple to use and understand, and can keep you safe when handling electricity. Of course, you’ll be really safe if you just don’t handle electricity at all, unless you know what you’re doing.

(See ratings explanation below the review)A real time saver vs my Multimeter. I found that inserting into an outlet was inconsistant. There are two levels of response to finding a hot wire. One is red bars on the side... great. The other is for a lesser current and that is on the display. Several times I inserted into a 120v outlet and only got the display readout (no sound, no red bars). The outlet was getting good current because I tested with a work light. When I touched the sensor to the wires (instead of inserting), the meter lit up full red. On the plus side it works great sensing a hot wire which is mainly what I needed. I'll continue to research this as I use the meter and if my opinion changes, i'll update this.My ratings system:5 stars...... I'm blown away by quality & value... a must buy!

This non-contact voltage checker is a well-made and thought out alternative to the more expensive brands and I’m happy to add it to my tool bag.The first pleasant surprise is that this voltage checker comes with well-written instructions with useful diagrams on the operation of this device. The voltage checker comes packaged with a pair of AAA batteries that need to be installed before using it, then you’re ready to go. It features IP67 water resistance, a solid-feeling case, and three membrane buttons for power on/off, flashlight function, and low/high sensitivity. There is also a small 2-color LCD panel that starts off white, then changes to red when it detects voltage. A multi-segment bar in the display gives you an indication of how strong of an induction signal the checker is reading, useful when the wires you’re checking are close together and only one of them is live. The display also shows whether the checker is powered on, a low battery alert and whether the unit is in low or high sensitivity.The low and high sensitivity refers to the checker’s range setting: Low sensitivity will detect from 48-1,000 VAC and High sensitivity will read from 12-1,000 VAC. As far as I can tell, the sensitivity setting doesn’t affect how sensitive it is to detecting those voltages.This checker has a tone that chirps when the unit is powered up, then gives a longer tone (along with the display changing to red and displaying signal-strength bars) when voltage is detected, so you don’t have to be looking at the checker to know when it has detected voltage present.The flashlight function is mostly a gimmick and isn’t bright enough to replace a dedicated flashlight or work light. Better than nothing is the best I can say about the built-in light. But I don't buy this kind of tool expecting it to double as a flashlight.In use, this checker consistently picked up voltage on the live sides of outlets, power cords, appliance wiring and in-wall wiring around my house. Battery life from the AAAs seems to be holding up well, too.Overall, this seems to be a well made and effective voltage checker with a useful display, wide voltage detection range and a well-written instruction sheet that tells me the folks behind this one know what they’re talking about. I like it.
