Review: Excellent little device, if you have any three pin electrical sockets. - I love this little device. I’m not a professional electrician, just a home gamer so I don’t have bags full of testing equipment. This came in handy when one side of a twin socket started playing up, initially working intermittently and then failing completely. This showed a faulty connection and on examination ⚠️ (mains isolated first!!) ⚠️ it turned out the bus bar bridging the two sockets had burnt out (later traced back to a faulty kettle). New socket installed and tested. Didn’t work. 🫣 rather than panic I plugged this little tester in and found that the neutral wire had pulled out of the terminal while wrestling with the re-fitting of the new socket. Wiring sorted I plugged it back in and it worked fine. The audible beep (and lack thereof when no power is reaching it) was a good indication that I’d isolated the right circuit at the consumer unit. (If in doubt turn the whole supply off!). As a ray to use diagnostic tool for professional electricians and avid home gamers alike, this is invaluable to have in your tool bag. It’s a lot less intimidating for noobs than the rather dubious practice of poking multimeters or continuity testers into the plug terminals. We grow up being told NEVER to poke anything into plugs, and only those foolhardy enough to ignore this advice grow up to become electricians! Once you’ve used it for a specific job, you will then run around the house testing every socket, and when all sockets are checked, you will go door to door offering to check your neighbours’ sockets 😄 ## Features - ✔️ SIMPLE TO USE: The Kewcheck 103 Socket Tester allows you to easily check if Live, Neutral and Earth wires are wired correctly on any UK plug socket. Simply plugs into the socket for results in seconds - ✔️ DUAL RESPONSE: The LED lights integrated into this socket tester will then light up in a certain way depending on what's detected, and the product will either emit a continuous, warbling or no tone depending on what's detected - ✔️ QUICK AND EASY: Designed to easily give quick and clear indication of the status of a socket's internal wiring without the need to remove the socket panel from the wall. - ✔️ 14 WIRING CONDITIONS: All of the possible indications are displayed on the front of the Kewcheck103 to help with easily understanding the test results for each socket - ✔️ BUY WITH CONFIDENCE: The Kewtech brand has become synonymous with high quality, as we manufacture innovative, accurate and reliable test equipment specifically for the UK market. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004HU2MI2 | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,203 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 2 in Circuit Testers | | Brand | Kewtech | | Colour | Grey | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,367 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060084080515 | | Included Components | 1 x KEWCHECK103 | | Item Dimensions | 6.2 x 6.2 x 5.8 centimetres | | Item Type Name | socket tester | | Item Weight | 1.41 Ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 6.2 x 6.2 x 5.8 centimetres | | Item weight | 1.41 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Kewtech | | Manufacturer Part Number | KEWCHECK103 | | Measurement Type | Socket Tester | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 230 Volts (AC) | | Model Number | KEWCHECK103 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Power source | Corded Electric | | Product Warranty | 1 Year | | Style | Functional | | Style Name | Functional | | Unit Count | 1 Test Equipment | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kewtech - **Colour:** Grey - **Item weight:** 1.41 Ounces - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Style:** Functional ## Images ![Kewtech KEWCHECK103 Mains Wiring Socket Tester - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MeUSQULjL.jpg) ![Kewtech KEWCHECK103 Mains Wiring Socket Tester - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61OrT7XeLIL.jpg) ![Kewtech KEWCHECK103 Mains Wiring Socket Tester - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71nXOT3DekL.jpg) ![Kewtech KEWCHECK103 Mains Wiring Socket Tester - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61188apwcBL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I presume it won’t trip the main RCD,when plugged in and used?….correct?** A: Just to warn folk: Malcolm Guest said on 14 July 2021 "If the socket is not wired correctly the RCD would have already tripped". This is not correct. Lots of incorrect wirings won't trip an RCD, such as missing E, reversed LN, or any incorrect wiring (eg NE reversed) but using less than 30mA (eg with a USB charger). RCDs are to help protect user, and do NOT confirm correct wiring. PS don't forget to check your RCDs regularly by pressing their test button! **Q: would this tell me if I had an earth leakage** A: Really good for checking faulty sockets, it tells you if wiring is not connected or wires reversed/wrongly connected. Plug it into the socket instant check, I found an earth in a socket that had come loose. Ideal for checking after any work is done on electrics. However it will not spot earth leakage for that you need a device like the Kewtech KEW2434, if you have an earth leakage problem it's probably cheaper to pay an electrician, ( with test gear) to sort it out. **Q: Can I test uk shavers socket with this?** A: As far as I know the shavers have got a different plug than normal 3pin plug and the shavers also hAve got a different output as 110 or 230 v AC so I don't think that socket tester can plug into that and for sure it can not test 110 **Q: how long wil last the batery?** A: Hi, This is socket powered tester - this is no battery as it receives power from the mains.

I’m not a professional electrician, just a home gamer so I don’t have bags full of testing equipment. This came in handy when one side of a twin socket started playing up, initially working intermittently and then failing completely. This showed a faulty connection and on examination ⚠️ (mains isolated first!!) ⚠️ it turned out the bus bar bridging the two sockets had burnt out (later traced back to a faulty kettle).

One had a faulty socket where we couldn't insert anything into the socket and the other had a crackle sound on the right hand socket and just wouldn't work properly. Rather than turn all of the electrics off I just wanted to make sure I turned off what I needed. The Kewtech socket tester emits a beep once inserted into a socket and turned on. Once you turn off the correct switch on the consumer unit, the beeping will stop. A nice and simple way of knowing there's no further electric running through the socket (I also used an electrical screwdriver just to be safe). What I really liked was that it gives you a really handy indication as to whether there's anything wrong with the wiring. It'll either give you 3 green lights and a constant beep, meaning all is ok, or it will give you 1 or 2 lights with a handy guide on the front of the unit to tell you what might be wrong. For the crackling socket of mine it was something to do with the neutral wiring so only 2 lights came on. It's a very simple to use unit, even for a complete novice like me. I managed to change both sockets successfully without electrocuting myself and it's thanks to this neat little gadget. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kewtech KEWCHECK103 Mains Wiring Socket Tester - Fluke 1AC II VoltAlert - Non-Contact Voltage Detector Pen CAT IV 1000V - Martindale VT12 Two Pole Voltage and Continuity Tester, Yellow --- ## 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/51612060-kewtech-kewcheck103-mains-wiring-socket-tester](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/51612060-kewtech-kewcheck103-mains-wiring-socket-tester) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
