I too suffered from leaky batteries that ruined MANY devices. I found a simple solution to it, that not only fixes the leaky battery issue, but also saves me money in the long run: rechargeable batteries. I found that they have a higher up front cost, but in the long run, I not only save money from having to constantly replace batteries, but also save money from all the gadgets that the leaky ones have ruined. Thanks for the review on this product, looks pretty cool, and I might grab one for jobs that I do and need to check the wiring on them.

Lithium batteries don't leak (i'm referring to the 1.5V AAA lithium iron disulphide primary cells, not the rechargeable ones). They also have a flat discharge curve, lower internal resistance, longer shelf life, and work well in freezing temperatures. The cost a bit more, but you make up for it in not throwing away devices.

I've never had NiMH batteries leak either, and they can be recharged, saving me money from having to constantly replace batteries.

@@aceenterprise Careful, most NiMH batteries self-discharge, making them pretty useless for low-drain devices. Eneloop and some others have addressed this problem pretty well.

@@jeremiahbullfrog9288Luckily the ones I use (Energizer), I've been using for a few years now in my wireless mouse, and they last almost as long as alkaline batteries (I get probably about 14 months out of alkaline, and 10-12 months out of the NiMH). Not sure if that's a credit to Energizer, or I've just gotten lucky so far. Either way, I appreciate the heads up, hopefully I won't run into any issues with them.

Great video and great tool. I just picked one of these up as well, it was the same price at Lowes. As a Electrician, I too have many plug in testers This one is very nice and love the bells and whistles

That's actually pretty neat, i try to stay away from electricity, but every time i see a tool that makes jobs easier makes me want to get one, and at $22 even Klein brand is not breaking the bank.

I work on test and metrology equipment professionally but also for fun. I've seen some very expensive and rare pieces of test gear ruined by batteries. Now in my expensive meters and scopes (the ones that aren't rechargeable )I use nothing but Energizer ultimate lithiums. No leaks and no problems even under extreme circumstances. It was a sad day when I finally swore off duracell's. My grandfather sold machine tool equipment and specialized in precision cutting / grinding tooling. Duracell was one of his biggest customers only second to nasa. Glad he wasn't alive to see what dumpster fire Duracell turned in to

The best way to test outlets is use something that will pull some power from of outlets on the circuit bugeyes don't show how ur circuit performs under load being used

Do rechargeable batteries leak? I never had one go bad on me.

I've never had the NiMH batteries leak. That's what I switched to, and not only has it saved me money on batteries in the long run, it's also saved countless devices from being ruined by leaking batteries.

tracing a circuit with my coworker & i was toggling every breaker in the panel, “Huh it’s still on, no matter what breaker you toggled.” The memory save function made him think the circuit was still on. Explaining how it functions to other Journeyman every time got tiring after a while. The fact it uses aaa’s as well as not really offering me any more function over the simpler testers (some of which have voltage reading functionality) makes me not want to recommend it.

I guess the one true use is where the neutral and ground were unplugged and it still told him the issue where as a regular one wouldn’t due to it having batteries

I have that tool. I don’t use it to its capacity with all those features.
