Those "gadgets" are junk and a safety hazard IMO
Just use a wiggy and they NEVER give false readings

I use a fluke, I lose them to once in a while. I've got two of them right now, I lost one and replaced it then found the one I lost in the sock drawer.
I also have a greenlee, at least I think I still have a greenlee, havent seen it in a long time.

Here's the only tried and true, handy-dandy voltage tester ever made. Works all the time, is always handy, never gets stolen, never gets borrowed....

Here's a link to the new always ON version with optional battery test button: http://us.fluke.com/usen/Products/Fluke+1AC-I.htm
Don't get confused here, this one isn't out yet, end of the month, they say.
