LED Keeper® - LED Holiday Light Set Repair Tool

Sliced Bread has nothing on this thing. Best thing EVER. If you use LED Christmas (or other holiday) lights, they WILL go bad, and you WILL spend hours and/or money fixing or replacing them. Unless you buy this thing. Ill just give you the punch line first: Those repairs that normally take 20 to 30 minutes to find/repair --- you can do them in about 2 minutes with this thing. (If youve done this before, you probably dont believe that it can be done this quickly, but its true! I have one of those crazy light-shows: hundreds of strands of lights, almost all of them LED, timed to music. As you may know, the bulbs start to corrode/rust/fail after a year or so of use. Most consumer grade strands dont have a stay-lit feature when a single bulb burns out, and even the ones that do, dont always work as expected. When a bulb burns out (or more likely, the leads have rusted or corroded) half of the strand goes out, and you have to pull out every bulb until you can find it, often snapping off the leads to other bulbs in the process. If youve got more than one failed light, youll probably never fix the strand. I normally have 5 to 10 failed strands per year, replacing them costs about $10 per strand; fixing them takes about a half hour per strand, unless I get really lucky. Ive fixed about 8 to be repaired strands from years past and 5 strands that I was going to replace this year, in less time than it would normally take to repair one strand. You can read the instructions for the thing, or watch the online videos, but here it is in a nutshell: First you plug the strand in to an outlet to see what half (if any is lighting) you use a little marker clip to remind you which light was the last working light. Next you plug the strand into the outlet on the tool, and you use the tool to hold and pierce the light cord about half way down the burned out part of the strand. The half that doesnt light up has the bad bulb or bulbs, you mark the spot and keep finding the bad half usually in about 3 to 5 checks, youve isolated the bulb, and can replace it, and youre done. After youve done it the first time, youll be fixing them in under two minutes. The tool even has little, easy to use sockets to test the lights individually, and to test the tiny fuses that the lights come with. It also comes with a couple of easy to use jumpers in case there is a problem with the wire or socket where the light is showing failed. (Not a common problem...) I wish the little cord were a bit longer to make it easier to fix lights that are in the deployed position without having to take them down, but a decent extension cord actually does the trick. Its so fast and easy, youll enjoy it... This is a MUST HAVE if you maintain LED Christmas Lights!

Pretty easy to use and it will save you a ton of money by not having to replace lights every single year. Me and my husband put up a large Christmas display and spend hundreds on lights every year. This will help us cut down on what we spend on replacement lights.

Got this yesterday, have fixed two long strings of light and one string of lights on an animatronic reindeer. Paid for itself in under thirty minutes of use. I highly recommend watching the how to use video on the companies website. I had previously tried multiple fixes to include a multimeter and a non contact electrical tester with no luck. This thing is awesome and does what it claims to do.

Got an LED string of lights or icicle lights that decided to quit on you? This tool is great! Do go online and watch the repair videos as the instructions are not great. Once you learn how LED lights work and what makes them go bad, this tool shows you exactly how to diagnose and repair a dead portion of a string or a whole string. Well worth the price as lights are bloody expensive.

We have the gun to fix incandescent lights which is a wonderful product and has saved countless hours, frustration and $$$. This gun does exactly the same thing for the led lights. Super easy to use and saved us a lot of time and $$$ in fixing 3 LED strands that went out this year (due to multiple lights being out in the strand). This tool made it easy and fast to locate the issue to fix! A must buy!

I received this yesterday. After reviewing the instructions I was able to repair a strand of lights within 20-25 minutes. The repair of next 5 strands went much quicker. Well worth the money to salvage lights, otherwise theyd of went in the trash.

Makes finding the problem spot so much easier.

You still have to check every light. Haven’t taken the time to figure out how

USED TO REPAIR 6 50 STRINGS OF LIGHTS. tHE FIRST ONE I RECEIVED WAS DEFECTIVE AND THUS FRUSTRATING, HOWEVER AFTER I DETERMINED THAT THI PIERSING PIN WAS NOT SUPPLING THE VOLTAGE NEEDED TO LIGHT LIGHTS. I RETURNED THE DEFECTIVE ONE AND WAS SENT A REPLACEMENT WHICH WORKS GREAT. ONLY NEGATIVE IS ITS A BIT CLUMSY FOR AN OLD 78 YR OLD TO USE. AFTER A BIT I GOT THE HANG OF IT. LOVE IT!
