1 Answer
  • Woodstream Team
    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.

  • Woodstream Team
    A: Thank you very much for contacting us. It would be our pleasure to assist you. This fence tester uses neon lights to indicate voltage levels ranging from 600 volts to 7,000 volts. It does not require a battery, as it is powered directly by the electric fence current during testing.

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 ago
1 Answer
  • Woodstream Team
    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.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re sorry to hear the electric fence tester did not work as expected right out of the package. We understand how frustrating it must have been to spend time troubleshooting the tester and still not get a reading, especially after confirming that both fences were energized.

We appreciate you taking the time to test the product on multiple fences and share these details. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this experience caused, and we appreciate your feedback.

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.

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

Woodstream Team
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:
2 months 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.
