Kewtech KEWCHECK103 Mains Wiring Socket Teste

We had some issues with a couple of our plug sockets around the house. 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.
