Digital Voltmeter Fence Tester - Suitable for Testing Electric Chicken Fencing, Fence Energizers, and Batteries

It works well, easy to read and is worth the money í paid. It is a good piece of mind to know your fence works.

Works well

Much better than the less expensive simpler unit. This one is clearly visible in sunlight and has the added function of displaying voltage of your sender unit. Don't waste money on the cheap one!!

Works just sometimes. No good

Easy to use. Reputable and reliable. Works every time I use it.

Needed this as a back up and we are not disappointed. It works great! It does take a couple seconds for it to read voltage. But it’s accurate and sturdy. That’s what I hope for in products that we need on the farm.

Good product. Works as expected. It allows testing higher voltages that other brands don’t.

Works just like it shouid....

This is a great tool.

Works fine on a Tractor Supply electric fence

Working as its supposed to check my electric fence

Works great! Was able to find unknown issues in the poly wire by noticing a slightly lower kV reading in certain spots. For instance, due to grounding or poor connections that were limiting the kV strength further down the line. Likewise, it has a nice quality of build which seems it will last for years. Overall, it was worth the extra money to finally have the confidence knowing the electric fence system is working properly. Thanks, Rent-A-Coop!

Work’s great. A must have item. Easy to use.

Simple to use

Tried 2 of the electric fence testers with the light up scale. Did not like either of them. Could not see well even in the dark. Not accurate. But this tester is easy to see in the daylight and soooo very accurate. Love this electric fence tester ! Now I know the condition of my fence quickly and easily.

Received as promised. Waiting on fence to arrive so I can test it.

I live on a farm and have goats, which if you know anything about goats you know they can be rascals to keep in. We have a lot of electric fencing to keep them off the fencing, as well as keep my horse from leaning over to eat on the other side. Before getting this tester I was the tester and I did not like it at all! This tester is very easy to use and read. All you have to do is install a battery and you're good to go. I love the carry case it comes with, it helps to keep the wire protected.

although the meter works perfectly no complaints there, I wish it looked and felt tougher. I am so used to regular multimeters like a Fluke or Klein that just are better put together with better materials and sturdier housing to protect the tool. This Rentacoop just feels a bit flimsy. You know how it is you are out there running wire for miles, you are in the dirt on rocks bending over, climbing things, and many times you just throw the tool on the ground. Better protection would be nice. That said this meter does what regular multimeters cannot do, that is to measure the voltage that comes in via the contact in spurts meaning not constant voltage. This meter activates itself the moment the contact touches your fence wire, it takes an average across three readings and displays the result. This happens instantly so there is really not much of a delay. the reading is continuous so you can leave it on and monitor the voltage for as long as you want.

Prior to this meter, I would just use one of those dummy light testers that just showed you a flash of light every time the energizer sent voltage thru the wire. But what I really wanted to know was the actual voltage number at the start, middle, and end of my wire run. I wanted to see if I was losing voltage due to distance or vegetation and how much actual voltage I was losing. This meter gave me all the answers by showing me exact voltage values not just a flash of light.

A nice bonus is that you can use this meter as a regular volt meter too, so if you need to quickly check the voltage on a battery to your car, solar setup, mower, etc, If this unit had a continuity tester it would be golden, but too bad it does not.

Comes in an ok soft case and a tip cover which will probably just get lost but you really don't need it.

Overall the tool does what it is supposed to perfectly. I wish it was tougher. I would recommend this tool. to anyone that runs electric fence wires.
