This isn't advertised anywhere and not even advertised in store. In store purchase only and YMMV. Needed one and went to checkout and was surprised it ran up as $15.
Product Info
Product Description:
The Milwaukee 10-1000V Dual Range Voltage Detector is the first Non-Contact Voltage Detector with the ability to Light Up, Detect, and Differentiate Automatically. The expanded sensitivity ranges of 10-49V offers the ability to detect voltage in common systems that would normally go undetected when using a standard voltage detector. These systems include: LED Lighting, Fire Detection and Suppression Systems, HVAC Controls, and Security & Access Controls, along with many others. The 10-1000V Dual Range Voltage Detector not only detects, but also differentiates 10-49 Volts from the standard voltage range of 50-1000-Volt. It does so by using a uniquely colored LED indicators and audible tones, delivering the clearest indication of these two voltage ranges. A built-in LED work light allows for increased visibility in low-lit areas, and automatic shut-off after 5 minutes helps preserve battery life. The 10-1000-Volt Dual Range Voltage Detector is a best-in-class voltage detection solution for any Electrician, HVAC Technician, or Facilities Maintenance Technician.

Thanks OP, not sure if Brickseek is accurate for this item, didn't see any on sale in my area, but here's the link for those that are curious. https://brickseek.com/home-depot-...=205441488
how does this help you? why would i need one as a new homeowner?
It will tell you if a line is live without having to make physical contact with it. You just hold the probe near the wire or touch it to the outside casing and it will tell you if it's hot.

It helps you to not get electrocuted. Place the probe where there's live electricity, go to circuit breaker to try and find the right switch & turn it off, go back, if it's still beeping, try again. Repeat until it's silent (no live electricity), change out whatever you want to change out.
Two examples of what I used it for recently also as a new homeowner: changing out a GFCI electrical outlet, and replacing a regular light switch with a dimmer.
As you can guess, reliability on these things are really important.
Good for finding a fault if a line is out in prelit Christmas tree lights?
Ooooh.... say more. I like where you are heading. I have always struggled finding where the disconnection is when half the lights go dead. Will this help??

ETA - Just checked Brickseek and can confirm that the store I saw them at for $15 shows them at $30 on brickseek.
ETAA - Nevermind. OP has linked the wrong item. This is the one on clearance (and its only 25% off so far). It's the cheaper model

Spend the gas money huting or pay for shipping? I guess I'll toss a coin.
