Description
The Vorel voltage tester pen is a reliable and safe voltage tester for electricians and home DIYers. This quality, durable tester pen is designed especially for testing phase voltage with alternating current (AC) in the range 125–250 V. The tester pen is easy to use and ergonomically shaped, so it is effortless to use even in tight places. Thanks to its compact size (140 mm), it fits easily in a toolbox and is handy to keep with you at all times.
The Vorel voltage tester pen works with reliable, long-lasting neon tester technology that gives a clear indication of voltage. The tip of the tool is designed for precise and safe contact with the object being tested, and it has protective insulation that improves user safety. The tester pen’s wide operating voltage range makes it a versatile aid for checking sockets, cables and other electrical connections, for example.
This Vorel tester pen suits both professionals and home use, and using it is an excellent way to make sure electrical installations are safe. Typical places of use include household electrical connections, electrical installations on construction sites and vehicle electrical systems. Thanks to its compact, simple construction, the tester pen is easy to use even for less experienced users.

Choosing a suitable voltage tester
When choosing a suitable voltage tester, it is important to consider where it will be used and the voltage range required. The Vorel voltage tester pen is a reliable option for general electrical tests at home and for professional use in the low-voltage range (125–250 V). Compared with digital testers, this analogue neon tester is an affordable and simple solution that is well suited to basic voltage checks. Testers for higher voltage ranges are also available on the market, but the Vorel voltage tester pen is the optimal choice for home and small installation work.
Warnings
- Do not use the device if it is damaged or if the insulation is worn.
- Do not touch the metal parts of the tester pen during testing.
- The tester pen is intended only for measuring alternating current (AC); do not use it on direct current systems.
