Not to be confused with a voltage sensor, which detects voltage present in a circuit. The continuity tested must be only used with a non energized circuit. **Q: Is the bulb LED or incandescent?** A: To Access battery/bulb compartment unscrew the tip on corded end **Q: Will this damage ICs like SMD ICs or through hole ones?** A: Good day Alain. to answer your question. No, I would not recommend this device for IC's SMD. Please enjoy your day. **Q: Does this have any cover or protection for the sharp tip?** A: Yes, it does. It has a clear plastic sleeve that covers the probe. The probe's tip is not pointed like an awl. Instead it's a conical point with concentric rings around it designed, I presume, to prevent injury to the user. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It does the job...at a very minimal cost *by on Reviewed in the United States July 20, 2026* I agree with some of the reviews that mentioned a little difficulty pulling out the cardboard tab inside the battery compartment, or having to search for the proper battery orientation (it's on the side of the tester itself), or that the bulb fell out when the battery cap was unscrewed. All true. And yet I'm giving this device five stars because 1) it cost less than $6.00 and 2) it did the job! After a bulb blew in a table lamp, I noticed the socket was discolored. Given the lamp is 20+ years old I decided to just replace the socket. Thanks to youtube for the easy instructions but there's always the thought that you reversed the polarity or that there might be a short. Not being familiar with using a multimeter, I just wanted a simple continuity tester and this one fit the bill. Once I had the batteries installed properly. I was able to check that the batteries were good, verify that the polarity was correct, and that there was no short. For a very small investment I was able to confirm that the job was done properly, and to start using my lamp again. For those unhappy with the quality of the tester, there are more expensive options (including a range of multimeters) that they'd probably be happier with. But for a simple, inexpensive device that easily checks continuity only, getting this tester is a no-brainer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Well AAA+++ *by on Reviewed in the United States July 31, 2026* Very nice Tester it feels like it's made well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Continuity Tester *by on Reviewed in the United States February 4, 2016* This Continuity Tester works well, fairly priced, takes two AAA batteries, has a 36" test lead and sharp tip probe, about 7.5" long, bright white light to indicate continuity, and a bright yellow handle (with black grip) making it easy to find in your tool bag or on the floor or wherever you set it down or lose it. There is a short clear plastic tube that fits over the probe but if you toss the tester in a tool box or bag contact with the alligator clip could happen. Fix: find a longer plastic tube, wrap a little plastic electrician's tape on all but the last 1/2" of the metal probe, or take the batteries out when not in use. The light is replaceable (standard flashlight). Like most other products it is made in China but quality seems quite good. To get to the battery compartment unscrew the round rubber strain relief on the back end of the handle near the pocket clip. I recommend this, I might get a second to keep in my vehicle. Also when buying a tester get one that takes AAA or AA batteries--much more convenient. ## Frequently Bought Together - Gardner Bender Sperry Instruments CT6101 Heavy Duty Continuity Tester, 2 Range, 36 inch lead, Yellow - AstroAI Digital Multimeter Tester 2000 Counts with DC AC Voltmeter and Ohm Volt Amp Meter; Measures Voltage, Current, Resistance, Continuity and Diode, Blue - Test Light Automotive, 6V-12V-24V Circuit Tester with Light for Continuity Voltage Electrical Fuse Tester, Car Electric Tester Pen ABS Handle with Sharp Probe&Alligator Clip for Sedan, SUV, RV, Truck --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12982197-sperry-instruments-ct6101-heavy-duty-continuity-tester-2-range-36](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/12982197-sperry-instruments-ct6101-heavy-duty-continuity-tester-2-range-36) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-08-26*
