    Are you an electrician? The onus is on you to know if thats the case.

    My old boss made a great point years ago about phase testers, he said are you willing to risk your life on a 2 pence resistor?..as thats the only thing stopping you from being killed.

    Never use them and if i get one in a pack of drivers i bin it.

    Yes I am. And I'm perfectly entitled to have one in my toolbox. So what you heard in the pub or wherever is incorrect..

    They are banned on most building sites along with carpet (Stanley) knives. They are simply too unreliable.
    Link to legislation about this please.

    There is no such legislation, it is not required to ban something on safety grounds.
    I have one in mine.

    I suggest that you bin it immediately.

    Not really. Made a statement, refused to back it up. Simpleton.

    Believe it or not I'm not on this forum 24/7.

    You claim to be an Electrician yet you support randomly connecting conductors together until it appears to work correctly. Do you honestly fail to grasp why this isn't a good idea?

    I also note that you support the use of phase testers, yet claim to be an Electrician.

    Perhaps you are the simpleton.
