If you feel the 110v tickle you know there is still power

They never lied to me, you should only use them if you know what you're doing

Tick tracers donā€™t do false negatives unless the battery is dead.. which is obvious. No clue why people act like these things are the devil. Iā€™ve never heard of a false negative ever with these. Sometimes they lie but itā€™s always saying itā€™s hot when it not

You always test them with a known live circuit before each use.

I use then simply to check to see if power is present in a piece of equipment that I'm working on or going to be working on or to see if a ceiling drop cord is live or not

Yes that's what it is used for. I don't want to carry a multimeter when all I want to know is if there's power at that particular location. Thanks.

It's nothing but a quick check on a single circuit NOT in a box with other conductors. Be mindful the device can detect emissions from a projected source, such as your television. Had a completely disconnected BX cable on the opposite side of the wall from the back of an LCD TV. The BX detected hot. šŸ˜®

I refer to it as a dummy stick. Just to check if there's power then as you said, pull the multimeter out and check for what type of power is there. Sometimes to find a breaker when there's one circuit or jumper and test the voltage. šŸ˜Š

For residential 120/240, I use them in conjunction with a multi-meter to verify the multi-meter is functioning properly when there is power when that power has been turned off. I will also use the sensor on a known live circuit to verify the sensor is functioning.

They are called death sticks for a reason. They are handy to find a open neutral. Yes most of the time a good neutral will not set it off.

Iā€™ve always called the sniffers lol. Yeah I use em like you suggest I think. Iā€™ve always used them to see if I got power and if I donā€™t then I break out the meter to check. If my sniffer says I got voltage I go back to the box and flip a different switch and repeat.

How are u, sir ?Is there a tool that electricians can use to identify between phase and neutral?

And even then. They need to be turned on away from current sources to work right. The problem that I often run into is that people have no clue how to use a multimeter in general, let alone what the readings mean. A good friend bought a house recently, and wanted to cange out a loose outlet. He got one of these. It didnt work right and he got shocked. Asked me it I would change the outlet for him. Instead, I went with him to Harbor Freight and helped him pick out a simple digital multimeter. After that, I taught him the basics of how to use it safely, and helped him learn to do that sort of thing himself. I am all for professionals doing their trade. But good luck finding an electrician around where I am that would even be interested in only changing an outlet. They'd charge $300 to do it to make it worth their time. Time is valuable, I know. But learning how to do these things yourself and safely is the way to go in my opinion.

I work in industrial maintenance. Im new to this current plant. The wiring has been manipulated by dozens of people, its a cluster F. The pens are easy to stash in my pocket and just do a quick ā€œis it deadā€ check. Better than using my finger with 480.

I'll use fluke to check for power. Fluke will not lie as much as the rest. It doesn't tell you the condition of your neutral or ground. I would not trust any to tell be that's it's safe to work on.

They do exactly like they're supposed to do. They beep when they are close to electricity, very simple. Except for the Kobalt brand from Lowe's, it will beep 8 in away from electricity.
Fluke tracers are the best. You can use them within close proximity to other hot wires and it will clearly identify each one. I wear all my tools out, I do not blow them up.

I love these. I got some of the older ones where they were adjustable for voltage. I wish they wouldnā€™t of got out of putting that option in them.

Well since it tells you if power is present then yes it conversely tells you that itā€™s not present. Also a multimeter can lead you astray because if you test between the hot and then switch leg or the hot and another hot of the same phase youā€™re gonna get zero volts even tho itā€™s hot.

NFPA 70E 120.5(7) Testing for Absence of Voltage

-does NOT permit using a noncontact type tester when testing for the absence of voltage on electrical systems rated 1000 volts or less.
-specifically requires the absence of voltage test to be conducted from ā€œphase-to-phaseā€ and ā€œphase-to-groundā€. This type of testing cannot be performed with a noncontact tester
