Q: Does it need batteries
a month ago1 Answer
- AI-generated, Human-approvedA: No, this voltage tester does not require batteries. It is designed to operate by drawing power directly from the electric fence or energizer during testing.a month agoHelpful?
Q: Is it water proof. I want to leave it all the time to see that the fence is working
2 months ago1 Answer
- A: The American Farm Works 8-Light Electric Fence Voltage Tester is designed for temporary testing use to check fence voltage. It is not intended to be left on the fence continuously or exposed to the elements long-term. For best performance, use it to test the fence as needed and store it in a dry location when not in use.2 months agoHelpful?
Q: Does it work on solar powered hot wire
9 months ago1 Answer
- A: Yes, this product does work on solar-powered hot wire systems. It is designed to test voltage levels on your fence line and fence controller, and is compatible with low impedance and standard duty fence chargers.9 months agoHelpful?
Q: Does this fence tester have built in battery? No changing a battery??

- A: This tester can be used with any pulsating output energizer. Please give us a call directly with any further questions, we're happy to assist!3 years agoHelpful?
Q: How would I know what the high voltage out put to line should be ? Isthmus output voltage anyway proportional to the chargers "joules" rating ? If my tester is measuring 600v -7kv...howdy I know ifmycharger is performing ?
3 years ago1 Answer
- A: The energizer's no load voltage will fluctuate +/- 20%. If all the lights on the tester are illuminated during a no load test, that is showing the energizer has a great output and is working correctly.

Works as it should
6 years ago
I bought this today and used it for the first time, seemed to work as it should, but was difficult to see the flashing led's. It was even a cloudy day, had to cup my hands around it to see them. It think I will exchange it for a digital model.

Shockingly terrible at its only job!
3 years ago
This does receive voltage, but it keeps this a secret from you during the daytime. It is only when it is so dark outside that you cannot read the voltage levels written on the side, you will be able to see the indicator lights. After meticulously setting my electric fence up, I used this voltage tester to test my handiwork. I was completely deflated when I saw no blinking lights. I am new to electric fencing, so I assumed I must have made a mistake in my wiring. I wasted at least an hour checking all my lines and connections - until it dawned on me that maybe the tester was at fault. After reading reviews that the light was extremely dim with this device, I retested my fence - with a cupped hand, hunched over it and my eyeball just right up against it - it was daytime, but late in the day and not overly sunny at all - and I could just barely make out that there was an anemic blinking happening...I wouldn't even say it was a light, just a whisper of flutter in there. I might try to make some kind of dark box I can fit over it, so that I can actually use it. But for the price, it is absurd that anyone would need to do that. Not only is having to put my face so close to it in an attempt to see the faint indicator light incredible annoying, but it seems like a perfect recipe to get shocked one day. I would not recommend this product at all.

Ridiculous. Spent about $30 on this tester and right out of the package it failed to work. I spent approximately an hour finding different solutions and it still did not work. I tested this device on two different fences and both times it failed to work. I will note, both fences were hot so that was definitely not the problem. Will be returning this product immediately.
No, I do not recommend this product.

We're sorry to hear the voltage tester did not work as expected right out of the package. Before using the tester, make sure the batteries are installed correctly and fully charged if applicable, and verify the tester is being used on an energized electric fence. If it still does not indicate voltage after these checks, it may be defective. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the inconvenience.

Piece of crap

Biggest piece of crap and the only option in store! And not cheap either!
They should pull the product from shelves.

We're sorry to hear the voltage tester didn't meet your expectations. This tester is designed to quickly indicate the approximate voltage present on an electric fence, but if it isn't working as expected, we'd like to help. Making sure the tester's ground probe is inserted into the soil and that the fence is energized can help ensure accurate readings. If you're still experiencing issues, we'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about what happened so we can help troubleshoot the problem and improve your experience.

Extremely dim indicator lights
Response from Woodstream Team:
a month ago
Woodstream Team
We're sorry to hear the indicator lights are difficult to see. The brightness of the LEDs can vary depending on the fence voltage and ambient lighting, so the tester is easiest to read in shaded conditions. To verify the tester is working properly, try testing it on a fence with a known voltage and make sure the probe is inserted firmly into the ground while the tester tip makes good contact with the fence wire. If the lights still appear unusually dim under these conditions, the tester may not be functioning correctly. We'd like the opportunity to help determine the cause and get this resolved.
