[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 446470, member: 6967"] I used to have a few, but they have all got borrowed/broken over the years so I ended up with a random one from a wholesaler. Can't remember the make but it was useless. I picked one up in Screwfix one day, thinking it can't be any worse. It was, it was completely useless. So I found myself a Zagab one (on eBay) as it is the only one that seems to work, and is the same as the one I first had when I was an apprentice. As others have said, it is a handy addition to the tool kit, useful for finding cables in a bunch or identifying a circuit/switch, but you still need to use proper safe isolation procedures and test properly before working on anything.
