Tools and Hardware Reviews of Gardner Bender GVD-3504A Circuit Alert Non-Contact Voltage Tester
Customer Review: It works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I,ve only used the tester for a few weeks but it has performed well.
It will alert of hot wires or receptacles within a few inches most of the time but be sure to probe as close as you can, it seemed shielding would sometimes require you to get closer. The tester will also alert to power cords that will aid in finding faulty switches and bulbs.
Customer Review: Gardner Bender Voltage Tester
Summary: 4 Stars
I order more than one of the tester as I use them regularly in my profession. I did not received the exact model shown in the picture. I'm hoping the ones I did receive have the same reliability as the model shown. I have not tried this model just yet but I have used this brand for over 10 years.Customer Review: No problems
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw some negative reviews of non-contact voltage testers of varying brands, so I was worried. So far, I haven't had a problem with this tester. Some outlets trigger the alarm within 6" and others need to be within 1", but that is still good in my book!Customer Review: homeowner experience
Summary: 4 Stars
It does alert you if there is power in an exposed wire before you start working on it. you have to get the pen tip about half an inch close to th wire, much easier and faster than using a voltmeter. but it could not detect electric wires behing a drywall.Customer Review: Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had no problems with this, and it's a huge time saver on wiring projects. It has also helped me diagnose and correct some cross wiring issues on light switches that the prior owner of my house was nice enough to leave me with.
