Discuss Volt sticks and what is you opinion in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net
I thought we were talking about volt sticksThey might tell you there is current, but I wouldn't trust one to confirm there is NO current..so, useful at times, but not a life-saver.
To all those who are uninformed - a moleskin notepad is a Brand and not the result of the ‘patient trapping’ in order to clothe one’s pages with softness!Put one in your top pocket of your boiler suit and everyone on site looks at you in awe as you are the master electrical engineer, you also need a few pens and a moleskin notepad to really pull off the look......
One of my apprentices keeps one with him all the time. I gave him a round of fk's the other day because I caught him testing to see if a circuit was dead only using the stick and not following safe isolating procedure. I explained to him the only real usefulness of the stick and if i caught him using it incorrectly again I'll stick his stick... well you know where. He got rather upset with me as it turned out that the stick was a gift from his mum..Put one in your top pocket of your boiler suit and everyone on site looks at you in awe as you are the master electrical engineer, you also need a few pens and a moleskin notepad to really pull off the look......
You should have told him that his Mum doesn't like him and is trying to get rid of him.......One of my apprentices keeps one with him all the time.

You live in South Africa, your car got hijacked and the Volt Stick was in the boot I bet........I'd agree they might be useful for finding certain types of faults but I have a company rule forbidding them because I think the temptation to mis-use them is too high. I personally don't own one.
Ahhhh hand them out for free and then they kill themselves when fiddling the elecktrikery for their shanty hut........I never botherd buying one because I figured they're not sharp enough to fight of a hijacker with.
