Description
The Amprobe VP-1000SB Non-Contact Voltage Probe with shaker and beeper provides maximum safety and convenience for detecting AC voltage without interrupting electrical systems. Designed to conveniently fit in your shirt pocket, the VP-1000SB looks like a voltage detector pen; yet it performs in the toughest indoor and outdoor applications, operating as ‘always on’ with no buttons to push. The VP-1000SB provides visual, audible, and shaker alerts when greater than 90 V AC voltage is present, which allows the user to discern between hot and neutral wires in conventional outlets. Voltage probes with sensitivity levels set below 90 V often do not allow the user to distinguish between hot and neutral wires.

What Happened!
I purchased this product from Amazon, like I have many of my Improve products. I purchased this one because the other wider one was no longer available.
I had it for one day and while constantly removing it from the designated pocket of my waste tool holder the battery cap came off. I was wearing gloves at the time. I never found the cap nor did I get the chance to register the product.
This is the first time this has happened with any of my testers (I have over 20)
✘ No, I do not recommend this product

Great possibilities but has numerous problems
I have owned several of the earlier versions of this tester and mostly loved it, with the exception of the battery cap falling off! Instead of Amprobe fixing that problem, they discontinued that model and came out with this new version. It has multiple problems! When you place in receptacle to test, then you pull it out, the sensor tip pulls off in receptacle. Then it is no longer usable. Also the pocket clip is open to much and will not stay in pocket! Thirdly the beeping sound is not near as loud as the earlier version of this tester. Personally I would prefer to have the Vp-600sb back and just FIX THE BATTERY CAP PROBLEM!

The tester was malfunctioning right out of the box
The tester only works intermitantly due to the battery cap not positively locking to a position to function .
✘ No, I do not recommend this product

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is the first time we’ve heard of this issue.
Before first time use of the unit, ensure the battery insulator sticker is removed. If the problem still exists, there might be battery contact issue on that particular unit.
We will reach out to you via email to see how we can further assist.
