- Banggood.com very kindly supplied this Habotest HT106E socket tester for me to review, many thanks Banggood 👍👍
You can use the Habotest HT106E to test new and existing mains sockets to check for correct wiring. I also use mine to test new extension leads and extension leads that I have modified to ensure safe operation.
In this review I show you how to use the Habotest HT106E and demonstrate all of the faults it can display. The Habotest HT106E also has a voltage readout enabling you to confirm correct voltage in the wiring.
** Working with electricity is dangerous! All testing seen here was under strictly controlled conditions. DO NOT remove mains sockets from the wall as there is a danger of electrical shock or death. Please leave all electrical work to qualified personnel! Thank you. **

Clear and concise demo, well done Mr. Rathbone. I wasn't sure of that last scenario, now I know, thanks to you.
I purchased one of these units for testing Live/Neutral reverse in the caravan as I am lead to believe that some camp sites in Europe may have this situation. I wasn't 100% sure what all the 'electrical terminology' meant in the rather concise instructions that come with the unit. Many thanks for a very helpful video Nash. I now have a better idea of what I am doing!
I just bought one of these off Amazon and have been testing the sockets in my step-mother's house. Good to know that it works.
Clearly explained .Thank you. I have one similar tester. A friend showed me his socket tester and all lights lights up when its "Correct" but in this model only two red lights up to indicate "correct". However, in this model "All" lights up to indicate faulty ground connection.
I use the same style as your old one, great peace of mind for a few quid.
i purchased this identical PAT Tester the other day and tested today and all plugs sockets are ok except 2 in kitchen that i have never used as no power. After using this device showing no lights - im now aware that my Live/Red wire must be disconnected.
As i have no Electrical knowledge I never touched it but now I have a basic knowledge in the home!!
Superb video!!
Ive got me a basic Multimete3r 830b coming, just so I can know how to use one but moreso to test Computer cable ie Cat 5/e or 6 types and batteries and other stuff as always wanted to know these kinds of things.
Great job. Enjoyed it. I have one at work that I've just started using.
Great video! Very professional! Thank you!
Perfect video, you have done great explanation. Thank you so much
Got one coming tomorrow from Amazon as I am busy wiring in an Electric Hookup to the campervan conversion I've done (Vivaro). Just to be on the safe side! It will also be useful to see whether there are any faults from the campsite hookup posts themselves.
Thanks for explaining this taster sir.
Thanks for this test, just ordered one from Amazon
Thanks for watching 👍
I owned one and it's a nice socket tester and firmly made.
Thank you for explaining
Great video! Thank you!
Thanks for that useful review. 👍
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video =)
Superb video! Just bought one of these as wanna test sockets around the house, as suspect one in kitchen may have a fault.
Your video has really explained how to easily understand this essential piece of kit.
Thank you.
Just got a shock (long fuzz rather than a pop - apparently open ground from reading forums) from the back of my PC and from a metal desk fan!
So I removed the extension lead and relocated the PC nearer a mains wall socket. I dare not 'test' the back of the PC now, so iv ordered one of these instead!
I hope it is just a crappy extension socket
Great vid
best video ever thank you very much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very good review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and stay safe 👍
@@cOMM4ND3R a return path for voltage on your earth phase. You quite possiblely have a switched earth neutral somewhere. Check for a loose neutral too. Usually back in the distribution board or behind a terminal. MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS DE-ENERGISED BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RECTIFY.
I should get a US version of this, because there are a few questionable sockets in my house that I always wondered about because if two devices are on at the same time, it blows the fuse in the breaker panel. So something must be wired incorrectly.
What about earth and neutral reversal
No plug in tester will determine N&E reverse as it the same return path like - on a battery. Earth is for the flow return path for dangerous over current to ground.
It is almost impossible to detect. Almost none of such simple testers detect it. If you have an RCD then it will trip on such cases immediately on use.
Great review..
I've just taken delivery of one..
Even when the socket is switched off the 3rd light is illuminated but dim, any ideas??
Cheers
Will have to pick one up. Need US version.
Hi, please if is phase (live) in socket or left side (not righ side), then work RCD test button?
An RCD is detecting the balance between phase line and neutral. In most cases is is 30 mA but can be more. Once the button is pressed is sends a short between the two legs. Even if they're cross connected they should still trip.
@@rayc1503 It puts a resistor between the line and earth. If the socket is miswired it should not work. Though it could put a resistor also between neutral and earth.
It works differently from the rest button on the RCD which has access to the internals.
Hi, I don't know if you or anyone can help out. I am testing couple of sockets and the right most LED is dimly lit no matter if the socket is on or off. When on, the other two brightly light up as they should but the right most LED still stays dimly lit. What is causing this?
The box it comes in looks like it’s from the 1930’s.
Don’t like it for one reason... I usually use a socket tester that has a audible noise, I like to hear it as I am flicking through unidentified breakers.
May 2021 - Habotest HT106E is superceeded by HT107E - with more functions - Bangood sell the new model.
Please how does this tester indicate a high earth electrode resistance
Would have been a good idea to cover the screw when you had the live in the earth terminal. Your finger looked pretty close at times.
Did you choose a single pole switching socket on purpose?
Yes, it was on hand in my workshop.
So if I press the RCD button on the tester without the RCD protector on the main socket, the whole house will power trip?
No, just nothing happened.
How do those that show all lights on when correct work? The ones that show two have just the lights wired between the prongs. That is the left is line-neutral, the middle line-earth and the right neutral-earth.That is why the right should be off.
The other tester needs some more complicated circuits to turn the third light on.
What is the RCD tester button for? Can we just plug it into any socket and press the RCD button without the device at the back? What will happen?
The RCD device I had in the background was for demonstration purposes, the button is there to test any RCD in the electricity circuit. Thanks for watching and stay safe.
Nothing will happened. If you haven't RCD then that's button have not any function.
Greetings.
on mine, the right LED is lit even though i haven't switched the socket on yet. And the other two on the left is faintly lit. WHen I switch the socket on, it shows normal wiring. Any Idea?
Sounds like a serious problem. If you cannot fix it call an electrician. Looks like the ground wire is put on the switch.
Great video, very well explained and 100% tested product.
But i'm curious about another tool you have. Your RCD Protector Plug.
Is there a link that you can give for me to buy one as yours?
Thanks.
Hi and thanks for watching. It looks like my Flymo Protector Plug is no longer available. However if you Google RCD protector adaptor you should find lots of alternative products, I hope this helps.
@@NashRathbone, hello...again.
I'm from Portugal, and here, our electric installations are by law forced to have a RCD in the Electric Panel tha protects all the plugs. I have this doubt, does your Flymo Protector prevents the principal RCD to turn off on the the home Electric Panel when you do the test on the Habotest HT106E?
Thanks for your attention.
If you have an open ground AND an open neutral at the same time, it won't start, just like an open live, right?
correct. as it will be a broken circuit.
Hi, Very useful in fact just purchased one, all sockets in house ok except one which shows all 3 lit but the 2 on right are dimmer than led 1 which is brighter, you don't cover this scenario so any ideas ? (uk)
Maybe a loose neutral in your panel box, tighten down the neutrals on the neutral bar, i was on a service call a few weeks ago and that was the problem
@@ezequielfuentes1823 Thank you I will get someone to take a look.
@@kaine1234100 you can do it yourself, very easy just get a screw driver with a rubber grip and tighten them, save you sone money
@@ezequielfuentes1823 Thank you will give it a go
👍👍👍👍😍
Recently had trouble with my boiler.. British gas came out did some safety checks... Plug somthing very similar in to my socket that feeds the boiler.. The 2 first red lights came on and he said my boiler was not getting earth because all 3 should be on! He did similar checks on my sockets and said my house wasn't getting no earth because all 3 lights should be on.. Bought one of these and all sockets showing correct! Goodness I've lived here 20 years with no problems.. Then to scared by this!!
BG engineers are driven by sales managers/targets in the background!
Showing NUTRAL OPEN what is the problem i don't understand because my devices all working fine
Dead LED for working correctly lol. Love it.
It is the LED between the neutral and the earth that is dead as it should be. The way it works is very simple.
Voltage ACCURACY??? (FCOL!!!) Down-voted.
