Review: A+ Product - Great tool
Review: I like the twist on/off design, can still use 1 handed - I like that i can keep it in my pocket or side pouch and does not have an on/off button to accidentally keep getting pushed. Any (real) electrician with work seasoned hands can still twist this on or off with 1 hand just as quick an easy as any other hot stick, but entirely eliminates accidental on/ off button presses or how some hot sticks the buttons are just act funny after a while. Like theres no mistaking when this one is either on or off. Used on the job for about a week now and real happy with it, does the job accurately. Will update if it doesnt last more than a year.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just the tip
*by N***O on December 18, 2025*

Reliable concerning off/on. Not as finicky and untrustworthy as others I’ve used. I’m a licensed electrician… I’m very easy on my tools. The tip broke off of this when I used it to push a few conductors to the side. I think the tip is a bit weak and that’s frustrating. If I were to design one of these I’d use the hardest plastic possible AND even reinforce it with fiberglass or similar. They definitely didn’t do either. Overall it’s a great tester if you are careful with the tip. Just the tip.
