CPSC Voltage Tester Recall

[Glennbear]

I have a similar tester made by a different company (Greenlee) and it is extremely handy when doing electrical work. I always test mine on a known live line before checking a circuit. Apparently the ones recalled are giving false negative indications: http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml10/10164.html :no:

Just goes to show... you can't trust something just because it comes form a name brand company. When I was a bench technician (long, long ago), the name Fluke was a mark of high quality.
