Check an AC conductor and drive the next screw with one compact pocket tool. VoltGrip gives you a quick visual voltage check before you start work, then switches to a driver for fastener tasks.
Two useful functions in one tool
Touch the metal tip to a conductor. A red glow from the neon indicator shows that voltage is present. If the light remains dark, the circuit is dead.
Turn VoltGrip around to access the magnetized shaft. It holds a screw while you line up the hole and drive the fastener, even when you are working one-handed or in a tight space.
- Insulated handle: The ABS body keeps current away from your palm while you probe a live line.
- Textured grip: The handle stays secure in sweaty or greasy hands.
- Driver choice: Select a cross-head or flat-head version at checkout.
- Pocket size: At about 156.2 mm long, it slides into a shirt pocket.
- Comfortable proportions: The 25 mm handle width provides a non-bulky grip, while the tool weighs 1.52 oz.
Inside the handle, a high-resistance circuit connects to the neon indicator. When the tip contacts an AC conductor, a tiny current through your body illuminates the neon light so you can identify live status before contact.
Keep it ready for outlets, switches, fixtures, and everyday DIY work. Once power is confirmed off, use the opposite driver side to grip and turn the screw.
