Worthwhile Gadget 
2001-07-09
This non-contact tester is well worth buying, especially if you do any home rewiring or otherwise poking around inside walls containing wiring. It will detect active current in lines, sometimes from 2 or 3 inches away. No more guessing if you turned off the right circut. This tool lets you check and know for sure whether or not a wire is hot. Thanks, Amazon!

I saw some negative reviews of non-contact voltage testers of varying brands, so I was worried. So far, I haven't had a problem with this tester. Some outlets trigger the alarm within 6" and others need to be within 1", but that is still good in my book!

It does alert you if there is power in an exposed wire before you start working on it. you have to get the pen tip about half an inch close to th wire, much easier and faster than using a voltmeter. but it could not detect electric wires behing a drywall.
wonderful tool !!!!! 2002-10-08
This tool has saved me many times!! I have discovered that my lights in my living room are on TWO DIFFERENT circuits even though there is only one switch for them both. I turned the breaker off for the lights and one of the light sockets still had power going to it! I would have been shocked for sure without the Circuit Alert!! It is SO helpful because you don't have to actually touch the live circuit to test it, you only have to touch the wire, light switch or even the light socket and it will tell you if there is power going there. If you do any electrical work, it is a good tool to have on hand!!
A good product 2001-12-29
This thing works and is really handy to have. I really appreciate its buzzing before I get "buzzed." Now I can be sure that the juice is off before I go working on the electrics.
