Testboy Socket tester with 2-inch LCD review

A trade socket tester with a 2.0-inch LCD reporting the connection state, and an integrated RCD test at 30 mA on 230 V AC.

What the figures leave us with The readable one. A large screen turns a stoop-and-squint check into a glance.

A socket tester designed to be read from standing up.

What the manufacturer publishes

Fast and safe checking of socket wiring, with indication of connection or wiring faults. An integrated RCD test at 30 mA on 230 V AC, allowing the important check that the protective device operates. A clear 2.0-inch LC display showing the connection state legibly.

The ergonomics are the specification

Testing every socket in a house means twenty or thirty bend-downs. A lamp pattern has to be decoded against a printed legend at the same crouching height; a two-inch screen showing the state in words is read from standing. That is the difference between a job that gets done properly and one that gets sampled.

What it still cannot judge

The earth. As with every socket tester here, a high-resistance earth lights the same indication as a sound one, and only a loop impedance test distinguishes them.

Availability

No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

What gets asked here

Why does display size matter on a socket tester?

Because sockets are at floor level. A tester read from standing height with a 2-inch screen is read; one with three small lamps and a printed legend is bent down to.

What does the RCD test do?

Testboy states it tests residual current devices at 30 mA on 230 V AC, allowing the essential check that the protective device actually operates.

Does it publish a category?

Not in this listing. The GOMETY tester in this hub states CAT II 300 V.

Who should pick this one, among measuring instruments

Checking many sockets in sequence, where a readable screen beats decoding a lamp pattern each time.

What buyers actually choose

Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 50.
