RS PRO Multi-Purpose Mains Tester Screwdriver
RS PRO Multi-Purpose Mains Tester Screwdriver
From the trusted RS PRO brand, this mains tester screwdriver provides a convenient on-the-go way to test circuits and connections to see if they are live. As well as being a functioning flat head screwdriver, the metal blade of the screwdriver can be placed against a screw or terminal to test for the presence of live current, letting you know whether a circuit is safe to work on or potentially dangerous. The tester lights up with three highly visible LEDs at the presence of electrical current, giving a better indication than a neon screwdriver.
With a robust plastic handle, the screwdriver also has a clip to keep the tool safe and handy in your pocket or tool wallet.
