They are not quite as evil as the neon based contact type, but I am not
sure I would trust them as a sole means of identifying energised circuits.

They are not bad. I trust them on T&E cables if used properly.

Yeah, although I've only ever used the MK and Fluke ones. I've seen
people with unbranded\cheap ones and they are somewhat erratic.

Just remember not to use it as a sole means of testing when your
having an NICEIC inspection.
