[QUOTE="Joshua_S, post: 462008, member: 30075"] I guess i mean by pen tester is what is commonly known as a neon tester. A device where i put it on an appliance and put a finger on the end. I become the earth and if it lights up the item i am touching is live. Make sure my test on a point that is not painted - eg screw through casing. A socket tester, I guess i mean a voltage tester, which will also check continuity & polarity. Usually a device that has two probes, one connected to a deice that lights up with voltage and the other connected to this by a lead, you know. The first device is a simple test to see if the appliance and casing are live. The second for testing individual components for voltage, continuity & polarity. Well, that is what i think. :innocent [/QUOTE]
