Fluke 1ACA1II ACV Detector

Love the fluke noncontact voltage detector the only problem I had with it was turning the beeper on but after I figured it out it works the best I bought my first one and it was for low voltage so it was to sensitive for what I do so I bought this one it does 90 to 1000 volts ac I would buy again if I needed another one

It's the best on the market in my humble opinion Never leave to go to the job without it I trust the name fluke 100%

One of the best non contact testers on the market

This is my third of fourth Fluke non contact tester. I spent many years in factories and industrial settings of all kinds dealing with machinery. The tester is well designed and you know when you are around electricity with visual and audible alarms. Having been zapped a fair number of times, I always reach for my Fluke even when I know the circuit is "not active."

It's veryvery good

I have tried many voltage detection tools over the 18 years of my career as an electrician (residential, industrial, commercial, maintenance), but Fluke makes the most accurate and durable one that I've ever used and I'll be sticking with it, since I bought my first one (earlier Fluke model) about 15 years ago. Many others are too sensitive and will light up as soon as it's inside of a junction box of live wires. With the Fluke 1AC, one can identify each live source with no problem; of course as voltage goes up, sensitivity does as well, but so it goes with any such tool. Some people complain about the tips breaking, but this has not been my experience, as I've dropped mine several times from about 3 feet, which has broken every other brand that I've bought. Being able to use the tool without the sound is great, as one can go about troubleshooting without distracting those who are around. The light flashes in intervals when not near a live source to let you that it's working, which is quite handy; however, always test on a known live source first. This IS NOT A LIFE SAFETY TOOL, this is a great TROUBLESHOOTING TOOL. If you are looking to save time and be more efficient before using your meter, I would recommend the Fluke 1AC to do so. Just avoid hard impacts and change the batteries regularly and you'll have this tool for quite some time.

I've had this tester for 4 years and have tried to take good care of it. I use it within its designed purpose and it hasn't failed me yet with false negatives like other testers may. Finally a few months ago the clilp broke on it in the winter, I believe because it became brittle from the cold. Other reviewers mention the tip breaking off. I have been careful of this but I have seen others with the same tester have it happen. I won't use a different tester though, this one is in my opinion the best, functionally.

Nice tester works better than the Milwaukee or greenlee. Not over sensitive like some units [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have had this voltage tester for 3 months, and it has functioned properly the entire time. No battery replacement was need from occasional daily use during this period. It recently failed due to the tip breaking off in my pocket. This is not an every day carry item for the pocket
