Milwaukee launched a new non-contact voltage detector, 2225-20, and it also features a built-in laser-aimed infrared thermometer.
The new Milwaukee non-contact voltage detector has a CAT IV safety rating and can detect AC voltages between 12V and 1000V.
Product images showing green and orange LED lights for signaling whether live wiring is detected, and the tool also has an audible indicator.
The IR thermometer has a measurement range of -22° to 482°F. It features a backlit LCD display and red laser for pinpointing the area being tested.
There are no details regarding IR thermometer spot size ratio, but given the nature of the tool, it’s best to assume it’s meant for short-distance measurements.
The non-contact voltage detector is powered by 2x AAA batteries, and has a quarter-turn end cap for quick and easy battery changes.
It also has a durable-looking belt clip.
Price: $45
