## Why choose this product

**Accurate Magnetic Field Identification** — The General Tools AMY6 Magnetic Tester provides reliable identification of magnetic poles. Its dual-color LED system and audible buzzer offer clear, unambiguous feedback. This precision ensures you can quickly and confidently assess magnetic properties for various applications, from educational demonstrations to material sorting. The tool's design prioritizes user-friendliness, making complex magnetic detection accessible to everyone.

**Ideal for Field Use, Skip for Live Voltage** — This tester is perfect for hobbyists, educators, and DIYers needing to identify magnetic materials or poles. Its portability and ease of use are key benefits. However, it is NOT a voltage tester and cannot detect live electrical currents. If you need to check for live wires or electrical outlets, a dedicated voltage tester is required. This tool is for magnetic properties only.

## How to use

1. Ensure the tester is powered on. It comes with 4 LR44 batteries included, so it's ready for immediate use upon arrival. — Prepare the Tester
2. Bring the tip of the tester close to the object you wish to test. Move it around the object to scan for magnetic properties. — Detect Magnetic Fields
3. Observe the LED indicators: red light signifies a North pole, and green light signifies a South pole. The buzzer will sound when a pole is detected. — Identify Poles
4. Utilize the built-in pocket clip to keep the tester easily accessible. Store it in a dry place when not in use. — Carry and Store

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I use the General Tools AMY6 Magnetic Tester?

Simply bring the tester near an object. Red LEDs indicate a North pole, and green LEDs indicate a South pole. A loud buzzer sounds when a pole is detected, making it easy to pinpoint magnetic fields.

### Can this tester detect live electrical wires?

No, the General Tools AMY6 Magnetic Tester is designed specifically for detecting magnetic fields and poles. It cannot detect live electrical voltage or current. For electrical safety checks, a dedicated voltage tester is required.

### What is the accuracy of the magnetic pole detection?

The tester provides clear visual (red/green LEDs) and audible (buzzer) alerts to distinguish North and South poles. While specific accuracy percentages are not provided, its design allows for straightforward identification of magnetic properties.

### How long do the batteries last in the AMY6 tester?

The tester uses 4 LR44 batteries, which are included. Battery life varies with usage, but they are designed for practical field use. Replacements are readily available.

### Is this tester suitable for use in India?

Yes, the General Tools AMY6 Magnetic Tester is suitable for use in India for its intended purpose of detecting magnetic fields. All customs duties and GST are included in the price, and it ships via ExpressBox tracked delivery.

### How do I know if something is magnetic with this tool?
