RS PRO 43 mm blade 3 mm blade tip Mains Test Screwdriver 451-8971

RS PRO 451-8971 Mains Test Screwdriver is an essential tool for electricians, engineers, and maintenance workers requiring reliable voltage and continuity testing in industrial, electrical, and maintenance environments.

Featuring a 43 mm flat blade with a 3 mm tip, this screwdriver combines the functionality of a standard flat head screwdriver with an integrated mains voltage tester. The tool allows direct contact testing for voltages between 70 V and 250 V ac or dc, enhanced by non-contact voltage detection up to 10,000 V ac, giving users versatile testing capabilities.

The high-visibility LED indicators provide quick and clear confirmation of live circuits, improving safety and efficiency during electrical work. Its robust plastic handle with an integrated pocket clip ensures easy handling and safe storage on-site or in a tool belt.

Additional functions include continuity testing within 0 to 50 megaohms, polarity testing for DC voltages from ±1.2 V to 36 V, and microwave leakage detection levels exceeding 5 mW/cm², useful for safety checks near microwave devices.

This mains tester is powered by two 1.5 V batteries offering approximately 5 hours of continuous use, helping ensure long service life in active work environments. A 16 MΩ resistor safety barrier is integrated to provide electrical protection to the user while testing.

This screwdriver is manufactured according to VDE 0680 Part 6 and BS2559 Part 3 standards, reflecting its quality and compliance with recognized safety requirements.

Used extensively for checking live circuits, tracing cable breaks, and diagnosing electrical faults, this mains test screwdriver by RS PRO is an invaluable tool for professionals and hobbyists in electrical installation, maintenance, and repair.
