I saw the guy an Indian electrician bring it when he came to turn power on to our panels on a job
He was a bit bemused that I wanted a photo of it as it's either one of these or a neon screwdriver for them

He looked at them and said "How is it working Sir"?
Gave him a quick demo and for the next few days he kept bringing his mates round for a look and I had to repeat the demo and let them all have a go!
