Review: Above & Beyond - My quest to find a replacement for my broken Mil*kee sniffer quickly turned sour. You see, an exact replacement—which would have been perfectly fine, except for the poor switch design that failed after four years of very light use—promised to take a week to arrive. On the other hand, the alternative big name brand K***n had confidence-bustingly mixed reviews. Eventually, I gave this Light Duty version a shot. While I am no electrician (just an avid DIYer who loves competent tools), I’m sure this is the holy grail: It can tell the hot side from the neutral side of a cable, and chirps assertively when doing so. The watch-style battery compartment seems to have been a design afterthought, though it turns out to be perfectly serviceable. But, I honestly thought it was broken at first, so that was the first thing I checked. As it turns out, this thing doesn’t announce that it’s On when you press the unassuming pocket clip, which is how it is activated. But, once you test it on a known live circuit **WHICH YOU ALWAYS DO, EVERY TIME** the response is immediate and satisfying. It feels more like an extension of myself than a mere tool that toots its horn at every crossing. It’s handsome, has no buttons, and is as ergonomic as you could ask for. Its predecessor was slightly more sensitive, which made it difficult to discern live from neutral. This one hits the sweet spot, sniffing through thick insulation while barking only when threatened. You’ll like this one. Review: Handy - Have problems on 24vdc.
