Probably so is the voltage pen - hence it needs a proving unit!
 
The links broken Pete
Sorry Rod I'll get the sender to sort me out a better picture, basically it's thingy you hang on your belt with a test point it's a KTP-1 I think or KT1-P think it's the first one KT???? makes you wonder.
 
This thing:
KEWTECH-KTP1 - https://www.shop.niceic.com/non-contact-voltage-tester-proving-unit

I'm not convinced. The reason I carry a volt stick around is so I can get an indication of whether or not there's voltage present, then if in doubt I can get my approved voltage tester out. I use a Fluke 1AC which has a kind of built in self-test so there's no point forking out an extra £45 for this thing, which appears to be attempting to 'legitimise' use of a non-contact indicator as an approved voltage tester.

You mean a manufacturer is trying to sell a product without thinking of the safety implications....... it would never happen......:tearsofjoy:

I reckon Spoon classic aint it? a bloody proving unit for something that is as much use as a hand brake on a canoe.
 
Nowt wrong with volt sticks use mine everyday but a proving unit which costs more than your average stick, not that mine is average of course is crazy. In fact any proving unit is a waste of money.
 
I use me volt stick then drop a bit of wire wool across the terminals as my old gaffer showed me:D
 
We had volt stick with a proving unit, as a polarity checker, not to prove a supply was live or dead. For that we had Drummond tester, again with proving unit.
