The IDEAL 61-627 is CAT IV 600 V AC, UL Listed, single range non-contact voltage tester that automatically detects and indicates the presence of voltage within range of range of 50-600V AC. The tester provides non-contact detection of voltage through an antenna enclosed in plastic at the tip of the tester which senses the presence of the electromagnetic field present around live conductors. The tip is illuminated by a green LED when powered on and switches to a red flashing LED, and audible beep that increase in frequency as this the voltage level increases. The tester is powered by two AAA batteries and features a lanyard tie-off point, an auto power off function and a low battery indication.
UL Certified CAT IV 600V AC, 50 to 600 V AC

Auto power off after 10 minutes of inactivity (no button pressed and no signals detected), the tester will emit one long beep (~0.5s) and then shut off note: if the flashlight is on, it will be also shut off

Low battery indication if battery voltage is less than around 2.4V, the green led in the tip will flash 3 times and the buzzer will send out one long beep, then turn off the device

Sensor does not work with DC circuits

the problem with that cheap crap is the possibility of a false negative or that it will crap out in a year or 2 when you need it.

ideal is a quality brand, but its up to you if you wanna save a few dollars.

I use this NCVT a lot for quick 120v work. Always been reliable and the flashlight in it is something I end up using a lot.

So the electricians I've talked to call these devices widow makers. Don't cheap out on these. At least The name brand ones are designed to give you false positives not negatives.

Do Klein NCVT-3P or this IDEAL falls into widow maker category?

Don't get me wrong. These are very useful and should be part of your toolkit. But they don't replace a meter. Any stray or low voltage makes the light go on. Because they are designed to give you false positives it errors on the side of safety. If it tells you that there is no voltage there is 99% chance that you have no current on the wire.

Yes, same catagory. Never use these to check and see if there is voltage if you plan on working on something. A quick check to see if it has voltage or not is ok but this is not a tool that tells you whatever your working on is de-energized.
