Product Information
Full details
The Laser Tools AC Voltage Tester/Screwdriver - 9273 is designed for electricians and DIY enthusiasts who need to quickly and safely check for AC voltage in systems ranging from 100 to 250V. Its primary benefit is providing a clear, multi-angle view of voltage presence, ensuring systems are confirmed as on or off before work begins, with the caveat that it is only suitable for AC (switching) voltage systems. Key features include a fully insulated shaft for shock protection, a unique three-window handle for visibility, and a built-in pocket clip for portability.

FAQs
What voltage range does this tester work with?
This tester is designed for AC voltage systems ranging from 100 to 250V.
Can I use this tester on DC voltage?
No, this tester is specifically designed for AC (switching) voltage systems only and should not be used on DC voltage.
How do I know if the voltage is present?
When AC voltage is detected within the specified range, the neon lamp inside the handle will illuminate. The three-window design allows you to see the illumination from multiple angles.
Is the shaft fully insulated?
Yes, the shaft is fully insulated to reduce the chance of accidental shorting of circuits and electric shock during testing.
How should I clean the tester?
Wipe the tester with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners to prevent damage to the handle and insulation.
What is the length of the tester?
The tester has a length of 143mm.
Does it have a pocket clip?
Yes, it features a pocket clip for convenient portability and storage.
Troubleshooting
Neon lamp does not illuminate when testing a circuit that should be live.
Verify the circuit is indeed live and within the 100-250V AC range. Ensure the tip of the tester is making good contact with a conductive part of the circuit. Check that the tool is not damaged. Note that very low AC voltages may not activate the neon lamp.
Tool feels loose or damaged.
Cease use immediately. Inspect the insulated shaft and handle for any cracks or damage. If damage is found, the tool should be replaced for safety reasons.
Difficulty seeing the neon lamp.
Reposition the tool to view the indicator from one of the other two windows on the handle. If in very bright sunlight, try to shield the area or use an alternative testing method if available.
