Would this work to apply on some alligator clips for testing live wire?

I would use the proper insulated Alligator Clips. I would not use this for insulating for Safety.

read the extensive review done by www.the wire cutter . Com that should have your answer

It depends. This stuff works well with very small diameter wires that will not be under tension. If they are large wires or if something will push or pull on them, this will probably not work. I used it to re-wire a small switch in a small clip-on light - tiny wires and small space - worked fine. You have to find a way to hold things in place while it dries and make sure to stir it well just before using.

Hi, It is strong enough to do this job, but it is not designed for this purpose, it is for testing fuses. Depending on wire thickness, I believe it will help as the tip is sharp.

If you're asking about stripping it to the copper wire, definitely not! That'll be very dangerous. The clips go over the insulated wires, one on each wire. A normal house has just two "hot" wires. Be very careful when working inside a live panel, if you have any doubts, get an electrician.

I would tape a ampule to a cheap mouse trap, and try to rig a trip wire off of the catch on the trap. I hope that it helps you.

I am not sure. The issue I had with the kit was only connecting the alligator clips to the test leads. I ope this helps. Sorry I took so long in the reply. Regards

I'm not sure. We tried to use it to strip small wire and it didn't work for that.

I don't believe this type of tape would work for your project. This is more like masking tape--not duct tape. I would try some of the Duck Tape brand tapes. They come in different colors and designs. (Unless you just need a design for show and not for walking on)

I used the product to re-insulate frayed wires and it holds up pretty well. It will probably do the job for you but I would apply, let dry and then reapply. Do this a few times and it should do the trick.

I suppose that you could use alligator clips but why would you. They can't handle the current the battery is able to deliver. The battery is designed with lugs that handle larger machine screws and nuts (e.g., 1/4-20 or bigger). If you only need a temporary connection and draw low current, any clip would do.

worked great for me and my wire was not coated --- probably doesn't matter. Make sure your wire size and anchor size match.

I need to tell you first that I am not an expert at this. According to the small manual that came with the Sperry Instruments ET64220 Lan Tracker Wire Tracer, you can use it for "TRACING WIRING", see the bottom of the front page. There is a statement that reads "WARNING Electric Shock Hazard. Trace only unenergized wiring" before the instructions describe how to perform "TRACING WIRING." I haven't used the tool for this yet. It appears to me to be similar to a continuity test that can done with a test meter but with the "Lan Tracker Wire Tracer" you don't have to have both ends of the wire in front of you.

Yes it works for testing GFCI outlets (simulates a 'trip') and also checks any other type of outlet for proper wiring (hot/neutral/ground in the proper wiring spot)

I can only suggest testing it on some scrap wires soldered together. I used it to repair a cracked, leaking plastic antenna mount, so it bonds well to metal and plastic, and might use acetic acid like silicone caulk does to cure.

If your wires are in wire harness and bundled up, then I'm going to say no. This may be good for tracing wires but not good for finding open circuit because the transmitter is too strong. I would not recommend this one.
