Which voltage tester is best for a apprentice

[Engineer54]

Any voltage tester from a decent manufacturer, with an actual voltage reading, rather than a voltage band indication, based on led lights!!

For an apprentice, (as indicated in the OP) it doesn't need to be the ''best'' or a ''top of the range'' unit either!!!

it says use any know source.

quicker to use tails if you have access to in db

prove on incoming, test outgoing, reprove. job done. quicker than using proving unit

If a voltage tester can't display the actual voltage at the test point, you might as well use a neon screwdriver!! lol!!
