Compact AC/DC Tester for Electricians

The Gardner Bender VC61000 is a handheld voltage and continuity tester built for electrical professionals. It indicates AC and DC voltage, continuity, and DC polarity across a 24 to 600 volt AC and 6 to 220 volt DC range. A non-contact Circuit Alert tip detects AC voltage from 50 to 600 volts without direct contact. Twin probes fit standard outlets for one-handed operation.

Replaces Separate Meters and Probes

This single tool combines the functions of a voltmeter and ohmmeter, removing the need to carry multiple instruments for basic circuit verification. The jump is worth it when a technician requires both contact measurements and non-contact detection in one device. Snap-in leads with 26-inch Sta-Flex cold-weather cables stay flexible in low temperatures. The unit weighs .22 pounds and measures 2.25 by .5 by 9 inches.

Steady Readings During Extended Use

The corded electric design delivers consistent indication during prolonged troubleshooting sessions without battery drain concerns. Strain reliefs on the leads protect connections from repeated flexing while moving between test points. Polarity indication and continuity beep remain reliable across the full 24 to 600 volt AC range. The compact form factor allows continuous one-handed operation in tight panels.
