How can a volt stick kill you?

The screwdriver ones with a resistor can.

Your a grumpy old git stuck in his ways and wont accept tools that make your life easier

Shankey , We have a cat scanner for when using the digger and moles , although with a price tag of around 180 times that of your average volt stick , and even that will "detect" just by waving it in the sky !
I know why people like volt sticks , but it is all to easy to forget yourself and occasionally use it as a means of confirmation of isolation !

''With a bit of luck it will light up''....and with that quote I'm out.

I'm not getting how the lack of an earth will make the voltstick sing. It's probably blindingly obvious but not tonight.

 

[Marvo]

It's not just the lack of earth, you need a 'bit of luck' as well Trev.

I always have a voltstick in my pocket/ great for stirring your brew on site.

I've got one, it's great, use it for proving live, tracing circuits, finding breakers etc etc. would I ever use it to prove dead........nope, I have a T5 for that, it's like everything, it has it's place and if only ever used for that it's great.

Btw I know of a NICEIC inspector that keeps one on his person for checking if SWA's are earthed.
