August 28, 2018 (Lincolnshire, Ill.) – Klein Tools (www.kleintools.com), for professionals since 1857, introduces the Dual-Range Non-Contact Voltage Tester with Laser Pointer (Cat. No. NCVT-5) and the 200A AC Open Jaw Fork Meter (Cat. No. CL360), which augment Klein Tool’s existing test and measurement product line with innovative capabilities. The NCVT-5 not only detects AC voltage but also can be used to identify objects of interest at a distance using the integrated laser pointer. The CL360 features a wide jaw to make measuring current in thicker cables possible. This line extension offers new solutions to measuring common electrical parameters.
Dual-Range Non-Contact Voltage Tester w/Laser Pointer (Cat. No. NCVT-5)
- Provides non-contact determination of AC voltage in cables, cords, circuit breakers, switches, outlets and wires with visual and audible indicators
- Easy-to-use dual-range measurement modes detect AC voltages from 12 to 1000V or 70 to 1000V AC and easily determine the currently active range
- Bright integrated Class IIIA laser pointer helps identify objects of interest at a distance, such as electrical boxes, light fixtures, conduits or other jobsite activity
- Auto power-off conserves and extends battery life
- Screw-thread battery cap
- Lightweight, compact tool with pocket clip enables convenient storage and easy access
- Built to withstand harsh jobsite conditions with 9.9-foot (3m) drop protection and a CAT IV 1000V safety rating

- Easily performs essential measuring functions, including:
- Wide jaw measures AC current up to 200A in cables up to 3/0 sizes, accommodating cable diameters up to 0.58-inch (14.7mm)
- Test leads measure AC/DC voltage up to 600V AC and 1000V DC, resistance up to 60MΩ and continuity
- Non-contact voltage tester integrated into the jaw detects voltage greater than 70V AC
- Backlit LCD display provides easy-to-read measurements in low-lit areas
- Built-in test lead holders on back of meter enable one-handed use
- Auto-power off after 15 minutes of non-use conserves battery life
