Works fine, but they should have put some capacitors on the lights to make them stay on a bit longer. Its good at telling you that the fence is hot, but it takes a minute to register exactly which lights are illuminating.

This is easy to use. It's easy to read. It tests correctly. I like that it lights up to the voltage that is going through the fence. Great price.

Works great, easy to use, not sure on accuracy but seems pretty accurate,

This is a great fence tester simple to use with no directions needed. It’s durable and comes at a cheaper price than what you’d find at big box stores.

Confession time: I buy a lot of tools with the intention of repurposing them. When I saw this one, I thought "Cool, I've wanted something useful for testing higher voltages."What I found: this unit has an effective series resistance of about 60 K ohms. That's quite low for the uses I had in mind. To get accurate readings on this device, you need a supply that's beefy enough to... well, to electrify a long fence. But not TOO beefy, because if you hook this up to a high current DC or AC supply at those voltages, it'll dissipate hundreds of watts, and burn out instantly.But for an electric fence, driven by BRIEF high voltage pulses? Yeah, this is a robust and accurate tool, in a really convenient form factor. Recommended for electric fence maintainers everywhere!

I like this tester a lot. It works better than my previous one. Its essential to have a tester here in Texas where it gets really dry and you have to keep an eye on your electric fence.

This is much needed on this farm. We usually use a hammer to test the "spark", the strength of the power going through the cow fences. This will fit in your pocket, neat

I have used electric net fencing in temporary or semi-permanent settings for many years. Because I usually lose my fence testers or destroy them my burying them in mud or leaving them out in the rain, most of the time I now test my fences by briefly touching them with my fingers. Occasionally one of my goats will oblige me by touching it with their nose or lips and giving a loud yelp first.I decided to try a formal tester again and try not to kill it. This one works fine. Because I use different chargers (solar and plug-in) on different length fences, I have no idea what level of charge I need. If it lights up, it's working, and that's fine by me. I usually end up still touching my fences by accident, so I confirm that they give a sufficient zap to keep my goats away from them.One caution, the soil you stick the ground probe into has to be at least a bit moist. If the soil is dry it won't read. The only concern I have is minor, and that is that in bright daylight the lights on this tester can be hard to see. I have to shield it with my hand and put my face up close in order to see the lights. On the other hand, this tester is inexpensive and simple to operate.I recommend this tester.
