Milwaukee Tool is expanding their Test and Measurement family with the new Milwaukee Auto Voltage and Continuity Testers. The unit is designed to work well for people that prefer the simplicity of a traditional voltage/continuity meter and combine it with a digital readout. Unlike analogue testers that show a broad range on the meter, Milwaukee’s meter uses digital output with measurements down to a decimal place for greater accuracy. I, for one, am always appreciative of any meter that can give me the data I need in the simplest way possible.
What’s auto about the new Milwaukee Auto Voltage and Continuity Testers? I’m glad you asked! The tester is automatically able to choose whether voltage or continuity is the appropriate test. It also automatically adjusts for AC or DC power based on the situation it finds itself in.
“In most routine tests, users do not have any background with the work done by previous contractors, and before anything else, need to simply understand voltage measurements, if wires are connected properly, and if current is flowing through a circuit freely,” says Corey Dickert, Director of Marketing, Product Management for Milwaukee Tool. “With advanced features for this category, the Milwaukee Auto Voltage/Continuity Testers provide maximum value for any Apprentice or Journeymen Electrician looking for the most accurate and simple way to quickly test outlets, switches, and breaker panels.”
Both Milwaukee Auto Voltage and Continuity Testers are due out this month. For more information, keep your eyes on Milwaukee’s website by clicking here.
