Crossword Genius

Investigators clumsily test device (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detectives

'investigators' is the definition.
('detective' can be a synonym of 'investigator')

'clumsily test device' is the wordplay.
'clumsily' is an anagram indicator.
'test'+'device'='testdevice'
'testdevice' is an anagram of 'DETECTIVES'.
