Had this volt stick about 3 months now and I find it a very handy t00l. Its always in my pocket ready to go. When it detects a voltage between 200 - 1000Vac it glows red at the tip it also bleeps (you can disable the bleep if you want).
I'm not saying this should be used as your primary voltage detector as you can't beat a good old prod at the terminals.
I am surprised with how robust it is also, I've dropped it a couple of times from waste height with no damage. What impressed me the most is my girlfriend washed it in the washing machine the weekend which I thought would finish it off, but no! I turned it on and it just bleeped at me, so I took the battery's out and left it in the sun for half hour and the old stick came back to life, get in.
Tip: When using it move the tip all round the cable to make sure you get the phase, if you put it on the wrong side of a twin you might be on the neutral and not detect a voltage.
