I agree with the safety aspect and would buy one also.

I don't agree with the capacitive sensing though, no matter what they claim.

The capacity of a plastic cased weiner is a lot lower than a 3/4" sheet of
damo fir plywood ebing held by a human on a huge mass grounded steel table.
Somebody is protecting their non-patent with some BS.

I had originally heard it was moisture but the demo sort of disproves that
also.


Well, I'm not sure about plywood 'ebing', what things other than
humans operate machinery on this planet, or the capacity of a weiner
(sheesh), but the word is:
capacitance (kəˈpæsɪtəns) -n
1. the property of a system that enables it to store electric charge
2. a measure of this, equal to the charge that must be added to such
a system to raise its electrical potential by one unit

Were you asleep that day in the third grade when they made a potato
battery?

You don't know the word, you don't know they got it patented, but I do
know you are dangerous with a keyboard. You assault people's
intelligence on a daily basis with it. Put it down and step away.
Thanks.
