Klein Tools NCVT-4IR Voltage Tester, Non-Contact Volt Tester Pen with Infrared Thermometer for AC Voltage, IR Temperature, Great HVAC Tester , Orange

In my opinion, I had a very good product on my hands, but apparently I received a defective unit or a very cheaply made piece of equipment. Although I expected more durability from this tool, it's not one with which you can hit things all over the place. Battery packets are placed into a tube very much like a flashlight, with a lid with a spring that presses against the batteries to make a I used it lightly for about two weeks, and it merely stood there for a while in my shirt pocket with no dropping or anything, but the cap broke off because the spring applied too much pressure. My next experience would be more of a fluke.

I highly recommend you read the entire item before purchasing. In a nutshell, Can someone please explain to me exactly how on earth that happened? I noticed that the entire plastic piece included the spring connected to the battery separately from the rest of the device. It was purchased on January 5, 2019 and I have not yet used it. What a shocker! If they are going to issue a full refund, or upgraded replacement device, I hope they will offer one. I noticed I'm not the only one who has had this issue!.

I thought this was a great idea, and it would have been perfect for my work needs, but it went no where. In spite of its best efforts, it failed because it tried to be two things at once. As a rule, Klein makes great gear, but this is a very mediocre voltage and temperature tester. Needless to say, I'll continue to buy their products. Neither the NCV or one of their other models can reach parts that their other models can. I also have trouble figuring out what This thermometer is an okay model, but it does not compare favorably to other standalone This is not a good combination of tools and is better suited for two separate tools.

Two months ago, I purchased this item. I have only used it once or twice. The last time I opened the protective case that I purchased for this item, I noticed that the top of the cap that secures the batteries had popped (broken). There was never any abuse or drop on this item.
Trying to figure out how to navigate Klein's website and warranty instructions was quite difficult. I'll try superglue to see if it works. It would have been a great piece of software if it had worked. I have updated. Klein Tools replied to my email. It is a pleasure to hear from you and we thank you for making Klein Tools your preferred vendor. Please note that we do not have replacement parts for the non-refurbished units Testing voltage with a contact-type We recommend returning it to the distributor you bought it from or sending it directly to us for warranty replacement by returning it to the distributor. If you are returning a product for warranty replacement directly to Klein Tools, please provide a proof of purchase. Klein Tools distributors can still assist with warranty service if the original proof of purchase is no longer available (note that some distributors may only be able to issue store credit as a substitute for proof of purchase).

This Klein Tools NCVT TWIST & TWITCH Tool has two useful functions and is a bargain at its low price. For anyone doing electrical and HVAC troubleshooting, it is a vital tool to own. In this sense, the 4IR device combines two useful features namely a non-intrusive infra-red Testers and IR thermistors can be used for contact electrical testing. A multi-faceted approach This special tool is no exception to the rule that function tools come with compromises. This tester does not fit the sweet spot in terms of price at $50 There are spots. There needs to be a lower price for the service it provides. Moreover, you may have to pay more for it than it is worth. My explanation will be as follows 'DEAD' - not plugged into power, but as if there were no power. As other reviewers have noted, this unit has gone dead several times. in the sense that there is no power. The no-power issue could be reproduced since I was a service manager for an electronics company at one time. This product has a dust intrusion resistance of 54). As has been found, if the batteries are not installed properly or the end cap is not firmly screwed down, the metal contact in the end cap fails to close the circuit and the following results emerge There is no electricity. I think it is just a simple contact issue for now, since up until now the unit has worked when it has been connected to a power source. In other words, a device that is advertised as being able to withstand a 2 meter drop onto concrete should not be so sensitive to battery end caps. According to another reviewer, there was an issue with the end of the component I propose the following caps An attempted connection to the power source may have caused this problem. A guess (just a thought. UTILITY
This unit has a 4 d to s ratio A circle with a diameter of 1" at a distance of 4" and a diameter of 10" at a distance of 40" is measured as 1. In that case, you will need to be quite close to the object being measured in order to get an accurate reading Using a laser dot to measure temperature can be handy, but it can also be misleading if you think you're detecting The measurement you are taking is wider, The circle on the left. It would be helpful if I could get a It may be possible to build a 11 ratio, but I suspect it will be more expensive. There is some room for improvement with regard to the accuracy of IR thermometers. IR thermometers are all accurate to within a few degrees F of the performance range except the most expensive models. As is often the case, this one is no different. There is a low reading on my unit every time I use it. You should expect this as it is par for the course for this price-point, but keep in mind that you will only be able to get a ballpark temperature, not a precise one. The practice of using "95" is common as well. )

NON- VOLTAGE TESTER FOR AC CONTACT* The voltage tester does not measure power In so far as the unit gets power from batteries, the contact voltage tester has performed well. An LED blue tip indicates that the device is functioning and that it has AC power. A chirp and flashing red indicator light indicate power is available. It's always best to test on a known live circuit, but I never had a problem with an NC tester when the indicator light worked. - I don't think it is a good price - In the end, we must appraise the value, or at least the cost. Klein Tools' quality control agent is not something I would like to do. Whether the unit should be cheaper and a less expensive option for the way it is constructed, or be more expensive and more reliable, is my choice. My estimate is that Fluke would charge around $100 to $150 for a comparable instrument (it does not exist). We can price it at $150 and be at the right price point. The Klein (and Fluke) theory of causality Is it you who is.

It is a small product that has a temperature display, and it is also not much larger than a standard volt stick. Having learned how to determine whether or not a motor is hot, I know now if it is "hot. ".
