Electrical safety tool

Ok with all the old sockets and wires in the house that will need to come out or just electric sockets that need to come out, you need to test them before you cut or unscrew them.

I purchaced a non contact a.c. voltage detector pen from screwfix for £9.99p it has two led's for detecting.

You press the on/off  button the green led comes on,

 if you place it near a switched on power socket the red led will flash with an auditable beep to warn you the socket or wire is live

As an added bonus it has a white led and it acts as a torch this could be very useful if your working in the dark for some reason

It is powered by two aaa batteries and appears to work on a basic socket test and 3 core cable test 

More to come.
