I could have used one of these 2 years ago when I first got into LED Strands in 2010 and had some failures!This tool sure could have saved me a lot of time {and grief} from pulling a good LED from a good strand, then replacing each LED on the bad strand until I finally found the bad LED in the non-working one!Will definitely be ordering one of these too! Will be the most widely used tool in my arsenal for repairing LED strands, that's for certain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Cherry Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 The tool in the links is an advanced flyer to help you understand what the final product will look like.We are discussing changing the color to not confuse anyoneont what they are purchasing and need help if they call the help line.Make sense.

The LED keeper shown in the links is the nearly final production format. This way they have kept the piercing needle in a place that is fully functional, but is not out where a person can get stabbed with it. Looking at it, it would appear that pulling the trigger retracts the needle, so you can hook the wire in. Release the trigger to insert the needle, and test.. Then the rest is just like the video..

The photo of the tools I looked at in the links didn't have the "male electrical plug", one looked like a female recepatacle, no blades could be seen, so I wasn't sure if this was your final look for the tool.As for the color change, I think that would be an excellent idea as well. Currently it looks so much like the Light Keeper Pro (another reason I asked if it was your tool in the links) I wasn't sure about it.Any idea what color you have in mind for it? I think green or even a light blue would be a good choice of a color for it, that way it's opposite of what and how the LPK looks and would definitely make it a bit more distinguishable. But any color besides red would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORisAwesome Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 DennisI was just looking at a few websites 1000 bulbs, Amazon.com, etc. They list the LED Keeper, but they are not in stock.

Tim Fischer Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Saw the LEDKeeper demoed in Chicago this past weekend. All I can say is I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!! *So* much better than the "pin and wire" method referenced earlier in this thread.For those in Menard's territory - they are supposed to be getting them in. I'll wait a few weeks until they get Christmas stock out and see, otherwise I'll join others and get one online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
