May 5, 2015 (Lincolnshire, IL) - Klein Tools (http://www.kleintools.com), for professionals since 1857, expands its "Tough Meter" Test & Measurement product line with the durable NCVT-3 Non-Contact Voltage Tester with Flashlight. It identifies AC voltage in cables, cords, circuit breakers, outlets, wires, doorbells, thermostats, low voltage lighting systems, irrigation systems, etc.

The rugged NCVT-3 non-contact voltage tester detects the full range of 12 - 1000V AC to accommodate both low and standard voltage environments. An integrated flashlight works independent of the tester and is practical enough to use as a standalone tool.
