They're also notoriously unreliable. Fine for casually looking for powered circuits, but if you're going to touch the conductors at all, use a meter.

As an electrician; it's drilled into your head to use an actual physical-contact meter that you've just tested for function on a known good power supply.

Some courses even demand you re-test the meter after you've checked the circuit you're testing.
