    Surely this isn't really a "vintage" tester? (ebay link)

    Idly browsing fleabay and I ran across this: I know standards were once rather laxer, but surely this was never an actual manufactured product? More like some maniac in a shed cackling as he put it together? Brass may be less conductive than copper, but even so (not sure I'd trust to there...

    Why neutral and hot reversed only when a/c is turned on?

    I have tenants that have 3 fairly new small a/c units all the same and when any of them are turned on my tester reads hot & neutral reversed. The 15 amp circuit that feeds these units has no ground wire. Is this normal or could these a/c units be wired wrong from the factory?

    Recommended voltage tester?

    I have a Martindale VT12 voltage tester which is OK, but very quickly I discovered the continuity function is a right PITA. Test for volts on the neutral and it lights up and squeals at you! Takes a moment to realise it is the continuity LED that has lit, and the squeal is slightly different...
