Tools and Hardware Reviews of Greenlee 0159-22R Starter Electrical Kit, 4 Piece
Customer Review: the tester is the only good thing in the kit.
Summary: 1 Stars
The screwdriver handle is on the bulky side and the bits fall out of the chrome holder when you drop it and rattle inside the handle. Conversely, the holder is clumsy and sticky to insert into the handle, yet still pops out too easily also.
The tester is good. Dropped it out of shirt pocket when leaning over several times.....works well, but make sure to test romex completely by making contact with both sides of conduit as sometimes it will read false as no voltage present if it's only touching the neutral side of the conduit.
The pocket/pouch is useless because it lacks a metal belt clip. I do not want to undo my belt to put this on, i'd rather just be able to clip it on and off as needed, or clip it to a pants pocket instead of up high on my belt. I never use it because of this.
The wire strippers spring lock keeps swiveling when in use and falls into the locked position arbitrarily, either locking them closed or locking them open depending on the angle that the tool is being held. Very frustrating and bad design, build quality. The hand feel is fine for occasional use, but a good tool feel often inspires a better job.
Overall I have determined the Green-Lee brand to be no better than any of the big box store house brand of tools. Perhaps not even that good. I would suggest buying a stripper and screwdriver and pouch from a "better" brand.
