I have 3 of these never had a problem with any of them.
The small flashlight is very handy as I primarily use it in attics.
I did have one with a laser pointer that broke easy though.

Southwire is shit tier, made in China and it shows. No self-respecting professional electrician would even mention it.
Klein is made in USA. Good value for dollar if you don't *need* Fluke.
Not everything made in China is junk however, it all depends on the manufacturers specifications. So just saying made in China is junk is just wrong.

Lol.
I've known electricians who skip all that and just jump to the screwdriver to short the circuit which pops the breaker. Quick and easy, but not exactly safe or good for the homeowner's equipment.

I own this set, though haven't used it yet. Is this tester as bad as the OP?
But I own this set (or a similar one that came with 3 items) and they're fine. Maybe not pro grade, but for a DIYer like yourself maybe it's fine for $25.
I've never experienced the reported turning on by itself and eating up batteries.

vs. 12 to 1000 V on the Klein.
The lower voltage detection is useful in my experience — HVAC, doorbells, and more uses 12-24 V.
