In this video we'll use a voltage testing pen or proximity tester in a method which will reduce risk of electrical shock and allow you to do your work safely. Voltage testing to verify that the power is off before work begins is a necessity and I have some tips that will help keep you safe.

Came across your channel when I needed to replace a group of entrance way switches in my house. I had very little knowledge on repair electrical items in my house.

I’ll be honest, I watched a couple of others before I came away confused because they contradicted or did not explain well (just showed why they did but little to no explanation).
But your short, WOW! Talked me right thru the changeout!
Your concise explanation and visuals to show and back it up is great.
Thanks for helping me out!
Now, I’m more confidant in repairing/replacing and understanding electrical work.
Yours is the only channel I’ll watch for electrical issues and advice! Thanks again!

This is a great tip.👍.. btw this is a good tip to do with your multimeter as well... I had once one test lead that had an internal wire broken and obviously, the voltage read was DEAD zero on the multimeter. This video of pre-testing your equipment could save your life one day. I know it did for me that day...there are different ways to test leads I know, but I figure this is a well-explained video for many DIY-folk

I’ll throw in two cents, when you flip off the breaker, put some kind of warning to others not to touch it! Blue tape and Sharpie works to put your name and phone number, date, time, ect……for the circumstances.

I thought that was a very good video. And the live, dead, live test is perfect for spreading to newbies.

I'm so stoked! I wired our entry way/coat room ... and because we live in the house...14 years have gone by! Last Sunday we finally were ready to hook up the lights and outlets... one three way with multiple lights in the run. I've since lost the map .... so I am extremely excited that I remembered and everything works great! 😁

Again, solid advice brother! Anymore I tell people to go ahead and check the neutral too. I got seriously shocked years ago on a house that was wired incorrectly. I had buzz tested the "feed/power side", turned breaker off, and no more buzz. I grabbed the metal outlet and touched the neutral.....wasn't good. I was alone in an empty house and received quite a shock. Looking back, I wish I had checked the voltage/amps that were still coming through the neutral. Rare but possible. I definitely do a quick test these days to be sure. Usually, I end up just using the multimeter.
Rambled on but anyway great content!

One thing with most prox testers like you have, they will not detect DC voltage only AC so be careful when working around any DC current devices and use a good multimeter to test for DC.

If i can add something to this video also test the neutral after you have turned off the breaker. I tested the hot lead and the neutral together after turning off the breaker and saw a residual voltage of under one volt. I thought it was inductance. I then proceeded to replace the outlet and when I removed one of the two neutrals there was an arc because the neutral was tied into another circuit and was carrying a load. i now check all neutrals for power.

Just had an NFPA 70E training last week, this sticks are handy but electricity kills, always make sure to use a meter to read 0V before touching the wires, live dead live is an extra safety step, but doesn’t show you a 0 voltage on the system.

So green means= no power?
Red means there is power.

I just used a💡lamp to test the power last week.
Because I don’t have one of those testers.
Thank

We are not allowed to use any of them testers in the UK to prove dead we have to use an approved tester that only test for voltage by direct contact and a proving tester one like a Martindale VI13800 with pd400 proving unit 😁 safety firs

I learned the old way to live, dead, live test. I'm a member of the "get lit up club" and live to tell the tell.

You should also have a breaker lockout as well just in case someone turns the circuit back on.

They only work if you use them. Had a coworker killed few years ago working on a 2x4 fixture. Tester was in his pocket.
