Talking Re: An easy way to access your electrical tester

Keaton, I like the idea. I simply use my pants pocket, but this may be quicker. I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing.

Keaton, I am going to give your tool a try.

I posted a photo of my computer stand in the 'Misc' section. Take a gander. It may work for some and others... not.

Very nice Kenton....I may get all my municipal inspectors one of these and have them all do this...because they come to me for new ones about every 6 months. With budgets getting what they are.....I need them to stop losing them....lol....

I don't even unclip it. It pulls out far enough to check most outlets. Saves a ton of time.

This is the one I use. http://www.vesttechinc.com/ got the accessory pockets in which I put my TIF8800, flashlight, laser thermometer etc...
I like the camel-back feature on specially when on a big job. I add ice to it and it keeps my back cool during the hot Texas summers
It saved me a lot of running up and down stairs

Easy to unclip to check switched outlets, though.

Combining this easy-way-access-your-electrical-tester-figure_1_electrical_tester.jpg with that easy-way-access-your-electrical-tester-hands-free-system.jpg would make a very efficient Homie
