Just give us a call at 408-244-SAVE (7283) or email cutcosts@siliconvalleypower.com to find out how to borrow one of these tools.
PLEASE NOTE: The Tool Lending Library is for Santa Clara residents and businesses only.
Tools Available
Etcon GFI Tester
A quick, easy and safe way to test and identify faults in 3-wire, 120VAC outlets without the need to use probes or meters. Model CT102 tests for correct wiring, open ground, reverse polarity, open hot, open neutral, hot and ground reversed, hot on neutral with hot open. Model CT101 also checks GFI-protected outlets against trip at minimal leakage current of 2mA, and tests their mechanical operation (with the push of a button) by intentionally overloading the GFI breaker with a 6.8mA current through the ground blade. Both testers are constructed of tough, impact-resistant plastic and feature super-bright colored lamps, easy-to-read test chart, and convenient “push-pull” shape.
Kill A Watt Electric Meter
Connect your appliances into the Kill A WattTM, and assess how efficient they are. A large LCD display counts consumption by the Kilowatt-hour just like utility companies. You can figure out your electrical expenses by the hour, day, week, month, even an entire year. Monitor the quality of your power by displaying Volts, Amps, Watts, Watthours, VA, Line Frequency, and Power Factor.
Triplett Breaker Sniff-It
The Triplett Breaker Sniff-It is a digital circuit breaker identifier. It's easy to use. All you have to do is plug the transmitter into the target 120V outlet, turn on the receiver, hold the probe tip parallel to the circuit breakers, then just run the probe down the panel.
The correct breaker is located when the highest LED is lit and the loudest “chirp” is heard. Includes receiver and 120VAC transmitter. Requires one 9-volt battery, not included.
EMF Meter
The Model 4090 is designed to make accurate spot field measurements in the ELF power frequency band. After the unit is switched ON, the field strength is accurately displayed in milligauss on a digital LCD. The reading is unaffected by directional sense or orientation of the meter.
The unit will automatically adjust to the proper scale yielding a wide dynamic measurement range of 0.1 to 1999 mG. True 3 Axis (Vector Magnitude) Display of Magnetic Field Level.
- Easy to Read Digital Display
- Autoranging Provides 0.1 to 1999 mG Measurement Range
- Measures Emissions from Common Magnetic Field Sources
- Typical Accuracy of 1%
Stud Locator
If you are trying to hang a picture this tool will help save time and frustration in finding that elusive stud. It can detect if you are going to nail or drill into hidden electrical wiring.
- Detects studs and joists
- LED display and audio horn
- Automatic calibration
- AC Voltage Finder - Locates unshielded wire and those in plastic conduit
Lascar EL USB 2 Data Logger
Save yourself the time and hassle of manually recording the air temperature and humidity levels in your coolers or storage rooms by using the reusable Lascar Data Logger. Reviewing the data is simple and easy. Record and archive the temperature data of your perishable products as they are shipped on your internal fleets from the DC to the retail facility, to gain additional control of temperature information and logistics issues during distribution.
