False alarms from the contactless voltage sensor

Today I tested both devices. Socket tester met my expectations. The non-contact voltage sensor did not meet my expectations. After some random testing, I concluded that the proximity sensor is likely detecting the presence of voltage. However, it seems to send a false positive signal to almost anything metallic. A watermelon and a screwdriver squeaked for me. How can I trust that to tell me something's wrong when fresh food creates a signal?

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
