Lets see if I got this correct and I can remember it..

You need the right tool for the job, if you are going near anything live this tester along with a hotstick and proper PPE is MANDATORY!

I became an insp in 2002-so I haven't done this in at least 7 years-bless me father-its been 7 years since my last confession--The short answer is that was why I had my extra pair of "Blow out Pliers"[they were the ones that had that hole blown out in them so long ago].
There was nothing better than tryinf to short out an FP brkr though.Don't want to try that around a nice white wall and not without full arc protection gear on if you know what I'm sayin'!.
ps-this was a last resort method only employed in my early years--the loud radio method mentione d by Mr Fine was a much better way.but I still have those blow out pliers so I don't forget.

I manufactured a pair of blow-outs after my 12 year old son/helper installed a sp switch upside down. I was on ladder about 10 ft away and had to cut the romex in a fan outlet. I noticed the toggle was down and suddenly I had my blow-outs.:smile:
I told the story w/o his name of course to my electrical students. He's now a master but likes to tell the story w/ his name included:smile: :smile:

FWIW (about $30.00:grin: )
Ive compared several non-contact voltage detectors. This little guy has by far been the most accurate in most situations. Tiny packaged design with an LED light.
Try it - you will love it.
