Ron:
To be fair, the tester sits idle for long periods, so actual battery life is hard for me to determine. As I said, I use it for a show & tell at my Electrical trades classes at a county Vo-Tech, where I am a part time instructor. It's two AA batteries, & not a big deal.
Fluke offered a few testers at very attractive prices for instructors, so I bit the bullet. No, the school does not supply, or underwrite any tools/testers that I bring in. I have quite a few items from my contractor days, Ideal solenoid testers, strippers, handtools, and a few data/comm items from your company that I also 'show & tell'.
I always look to various manufacturers for class aids, device samples, literature, etc. It all helps the cause, hopefully training a few future 'sparkies'!!
