Questions & Answers

Will it work through drywall?

Will it trace a 110v AC lead through drywall? I have a switch which is powered from the same 15A breaker as other lights, but I am unable to determine what the switch controls.
Asked by: Springbok
Most of the adjustable sensitivity detectors will work through dry wall to detect and trace wiring. Just turn up the sensitivity. Playing with sensitivity you can dial it in to just a few inches to locate and trace wiring on a live circuit inside a wall.

There are to many to carry any specific model. Get the sensitivity feature.

Do you have to keep holding down a button or switch to test the wires, or will it stay on without holding something?

Asked by: John
No. Place it on one side of a desk lamp wire and then the other and slowly adjust the sensivity control from low to high until it beeps and flashes. Thats how you locate the hot wire. Place the tip in each slot of a wall outlet and adjust the sensivity control and it will find the hot wire.

While the tester will detect voltage on a live circuit it will also detect voltage on a circuit with the breaker in the off position. From what I've been able to learn from the literature available on the web voltage may be induced from wires in close proximity to the wire being tested and low impedance testers are susceptible to false readings if this condition exists.

I have never owned one of these before. I have always figured out how the previous owners wired things, but his house has had too many Cooks. Sometimes the Black is Hot. Sometimes the White is Hot. Most times the wires have no color. When installing $50 LED Dimmers, you need to be sure ... I love this! No more guessing or trial by error. The dial is so sensitive, it can pick up voltage from a foot away (is the outlet still On?). Turn sensitivity up, and can tell the difference between two wires a half inch apart (which is Hot?).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A must have if you're doing electrical These are a quick and easy way to find out if a circuit is live. Very easy to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from nob and tube I need a tester to get at some nob and tube wiring. Find the hot and common. This tool really helped. the sensetivity control is a great feature and really came in handy. Eliminated alot of false positives. In fact this should be standard feature. First tester I owned.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good Safety Tool - Homeowner and Pro So many times you need to perform a small electircla task like change a receptacle, or install a light wsitch, etc where you have to utilize an existing junction box. So often previous owners or 'handymen' ran a branch circuit through or frm that box and you really are not sure the box is dead before working the wires. This tool provides confidence and a convenient was to check if power is 'live'
