Let me get this right. Most you people would stick your hand on a 600 volt motor starter or whatever as long as the volt pen said it was de-energized. And your sure it worked because you rubbed it on your shirt?
The answer to your question for me is yes, without a doubt.
I ask again, what is a non-contact voltage checker for if you can not use it to check for voltage.
I also would like an explanation why some feel a typical digital or analog multimeter is a more reliable method to check for power?
In my mind the most common problem with meters is broken leads. Not a problem with a non contact tester.
Next we have complexity, the more complex an item is the more likely it is to break.
I can see no reason to 'trust' a multimeter more than the non-contact tester for simple "is it on or is it off" type use.
Do you all 'trust' your amprobe?
It is a non-contact device that is very reliable.
