How to choose the right Klein Tools Volt Stick

hi I'm Sam from claim tools UK and I'd like to go through some of the features and benefits of claims non-contact voltage detectors they all detect AC voltage and give an audible and a visual warning they've all got a cap four and a thousand volts safety rating they all come with triple-a batteries included and they all come with an auto off power function to save on battery life and they also come with a two year warranty first up we've got the NCV t1 voltage tester this voltage tester tests AC voltage between 50 and a thousand volts so a great standard Vault stick to detect voltage in things like socket switches cable light fixtures and circuit breakers so just turn it on gives you a green visual so you know the batteries are working and then when you're on the cable it gives you a loud tone and a red constant warning indicator it's the NCT v1 next up you've got there n CV t2 dual range voltage tester this tests the same as the NCT v1 will test your standard voltage 48 volts to a thousand volts ac but it will also detect your low voltage AC 12 volts to 48 volts which is good for you know not only doing sockets switches cable but you can also detect security entertainment communication environmental as perfect for those contractors that do dual trades this is the one tool that does it all so you just turn it on it goes green same as the enca TV one and when you're live on a cable it'll detect and go red and same audio and visual as the entity v1 but if you keep your finger on it it'll go into dual voltage mode and then from that stage it'll detect your low voltage within the mid and flashing light and lower beep in tone and then if you're live on it it'll be a constant louder with a constant red light on it so this is a great tool if you want to be if you want a little bit more sensitivity you know this is the volt stick for you next we've got the N CVT 3 voltage tester and flashlight this is now a part of Klein's tuff meter vault stick range you've got a screw cap on the back to easily change the batteries you've grown old ring in there to give it the ip67 and Despero from waterproof ice drop tested at 3 meters so it's really rugged vault stick you've got a sensitivity of between 12 volts to a thousand volts ac obviously you go an audio tone when you detect voltage but this has got a better visual aid so you'll see low voltage will be yellow and then red will be standard voltage so when you get closer to the cable yellow a little bit yellow is your low voltage when you're on it it gets louder and goes red and you can tell the difference between your low voltage and a standard voltage a brilliant feature that they've started doing now a client is praying to tools in one and this tool has also got a flashlight on the end of it so there's a really decent flashlight for when you're working in low light and and it's clipped on to your pocket you've also got a vault stick and a flashlight in one and you can either use it independently or you can turn it on and use the flashlight while using the vault stick as well so this is a great rugged vault stick definitely want to pick up if you damaging your vaults take all the time next up we've got other NCV t4i our voltage tester and digital thermometer this is a great new tool to tools in one you know another rugged tough meter from Klein 3 meter drop tested you've got a screw cap for the batteries with the o-ring as well make it ip54 you've got it detects AC voltage between 12 and a thousand volts so you press the red button to turn on the volt stick part of it comes up blue so you know the battery is good before you start using it when you get closer then it's intermittent low tone and a red flashing light for your low voltage and then when you're live on a cable it's constant loud with a red light on the end of it so that's the volt stick part of it but you've also got a digital thermometer you just press the IR part of it and you can read whatever the laser is pointing at and it gives you a digital reading and they take a finger off and it holds the reading as well so it's really useful for things like picking up hot spots in boards but you've got you know clipped on to you now as well so your volt stick and a digital thermometer as a great new volt stick to the liner last but definitely not least the N CVT six voltage tester and laser distance measure again two tools in one you know they've got a clip on the Clipper in your pocket and you've always got your vault stick and your Ana laser distance measure a small enough and compact enough to keep in here in your pocket rather than having to carry around a volt stick and a bulky tape measure again simple things through top that you can easily change the battery function part of the tough meter range drop tested you've got the old ring in there to give it a distance of IP 4 you've got the sensitivity of the vault stick that goes from 12 volts all the way up to a thousand volts ac you press the NCV red button to turn it on obviously blue function turns on so you know the batteries are ok but this is even got a battery level indicator on here you've got nicely backlit as well but this feature goes from low voltage so it flashes red for you but as you get closer the signal gets stronger and it gets louder so you the warning it's brilliant for a low volley Johnny standard voltage and then to work the laser distance measure you just press the the red laser button and when the laser hits it gives you a reading and it holds this you can also press this grey button to measure between feet and meters and if you just press it once as well you can either get it to measure from this end or this end if you wanted to push it up against a wall at the moment that's measuring from the back so that gives you one reading but then if you press it again and then it reads from the front end as well so yeah it's a really useful tool again they said rather than having bulky tape measure on a volt stick in your pocket the fact you've got two in one and it's a nice rugged design as well this will save you a lot of time on the job definitely pick up one of those I hope you found that helpful and if you'd like to know more about the client tools non-contact voltage detectors check out the climb tools website or connect with us on social media thanks you
