mine will show both voltage and on what probe it is on, if you have 2 reference points, ie, N&E, it will show on what probe the voltage is present.

well why cant it,?
it can show phase rotation with two points of contact too.
even my multimeter [an old Fluke 77] will show on what probe the AC potential is present.

maybe you should invest in a NEON !

yeah andy i have used a tong tester in past forget which and it does warble when only connecting to live.
but the theory is it cant such as you/me touching a live and nothing else we wouldn't know/feel anything

p.s i know they do warble but its just wrong lol editah here is my error, yes i meant a dilog and other testers will warble with only one probe connected)

the phase rotation is kinda irrelevant here. all the tester needs to do is figure out which way the shortest peak voltage between the 2 is and give a direction.
not sure on the old fluke 77 being able to tell you which probe the AC voltage is present on though.
eh?
have you ever used a neon?
you make the circuit.!

a simply voltage tester

yes thats why i said what i said lol:slap
correct and the warble type do it with NO circuit

well, thats the first time Ive ever heard of a light source making a noise!
ah, I think you are mistaking a NEON with a voltstick!

of course they do, basic priciples of electricity.
