Rated 4 out of 5 by Markman from Great until it stopped working I have had this unit for a good few years and it has always worked really well. Just this week, it stopped. Oddly, new batteries got the light flashing again, but it still does not detect live current at all now! Slightly worrying!
I have decided to buy another one; we'll see how that one goes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sparky144 from Reliable after 4 years 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.

Rated 2 out of 5 by wj75 from Not a Non- Contact! This works perfectly fine with direct contact but unreliable with non-contact. I got shocked changing a garbage disposal switch because it was placed against the wire insulation and not the switch screws (which all of the cheaper brands I've owned was more than close enough) and gave me a false negative reading even though I had the wrong breaker off due to incorrect labeling in the panel. Fluke volt and multimeters are the best of the best but just a warning this needs direct contact for accuracy.

Rated 3 out of 5 by 701nate500 from Not for everyday pocket carry 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

Rated 3 out of 5 by Tamothy from Great tester, needs better "dropability" I've been using this kind of pen tester for years and really is the only one I ever want to buy. However, recently when I dropped my tester, it got stuck in a weird setting where it beeps non-stop, making me not have any faith in the tester anymore. I need to be sure my equipment, especially my voltage detector is up to par. My only solution now is to buy a brand new one.
I took off 2 stars, just for the fact that my tester malfunctioned because it was dropped. These testers need to have a better dropability, especially if its only from a height of 5 feet!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Journeyman from The most accurate and durable voltage detector 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.
