Is this for professional use?

It is, but it only needs to develop a few hundred V at a few mA across
a high resistance. That's why there's such a differnce in price
between it and those which also do continuity.

I think Harry B was asking me if it is for professional use!

The answer is no - just an additional DIY comfort factor and occasional
fault finder (I had to borrow one recently).

Thanks everyone for your comments and advice - I shall ponder upon my
requirements a little longer.
