Unleash the Beast on Service Complaints!
For over 50 years, Arnett Industries has manufactured tools in Portland, Oregon for troubleshooting neutral issues and other utility service issues.
The Mega Beast helps utility troubleshooters identify if their service drop is providing proper voltage/load.
The efficient use of the Mega Beast will quickly identify if customer complaints are on the line side (utility) or consumer side.
An 80 amp load allows troubleshooters to identify and solve neutral issues faster than the Super Beast.
Used by over 500 utilities across the US, the Super Beast (20A) and Mega Beast (80A) testers are known for excellent reliability, ease-of-use, and set the industry standard for troubleshooting utility service problems.

- Part#: HJA-900-D | 80 Amp Conductor Tester
The Mega Beast is as easy to use as the original Beast of Burden, and it’s more powerful than the Super Beast. In 20-amp increments, you can apply an 80-amp load to detect the most elusive problems on secondary service. Total of (4) 20 amp switches give the end-user more power for finding difficult & intermittent problems.
In addition, the Mega Beast can be used to verify the installation of new service connections in order to ensure proper voltage supply. The Mega Beast features fuses and circuit breakers for user safety and comes in a durable, portable case.
Mega Beast Combo: #HJA-900-D-COMBO
The same 80A functionality as the Mega Beast #HJA-900-D, but with an added ability to use the plugin meter adapter.
The Mega Beast Combo has a different cable ending than the Mega Beast, allowing for the use of a plug-in meter base adapter OR the alligator clips.
The Mega Beast Combo Includes:
- 80A Mega Beast with connector end instead of “fixed” alligator clips
- Additional meter socket adapter
- Three clip “alligator” connection adapter
- *Additional 3′ of cable lead compared to #HJA-900-D. Total of 10′ cable lead from box.
Replacement Parts for #HJA-900-D-COMBO
Must be used with the Mega Beast Connector End, HJA-900-D-CONN
If your Mega Beast does not have this cable ending, you must modify the unit to attach this end.
You can send the Mega Beast directly into Arnett and we will replace the cable end for you, or you can purchase this part if you can replace the cable end yourself. It is very important that this is done correctly.
NEW Mega Beast Pulse: #HJA-900-DP
The new Mega Beast Pulse was developed in response to customer feedback. The Super Beast Pulse feature is popular for identifying services at a padmount transformer (using an ammeter to trace the rise/fall) and customers asked for this feature on the Mega Beast.
The Mega Beast Pulse #HJA-900-DP includes the standard 3-clip connection. Only (1) of the 20A load banks will pulse, however users can still apply all 80 amps, only 20 amps will pulse.
The Mega Beast Pulse Combo #HJA-900-DP-COMBO is also available, and comes standard with the HJA-900-D-CONN connector end and both the plugin meter adapter and the 3-clip connection adapter.
