This is my favorite non-contact voltage tester. It's always-on and the battery lasts literally for years. I always have it in my backpack, and I have been using the same one since 2014.
Some people complain that it doesn't beep but I can't hear the beeps anyway in industrial settings. I have used other NCVT makes and models, but they always turn themselves on in my bag or toolbag and the battery is dead when I need to use it. The one in this deal is the best.
It only works on 90-1000VAC, it cannot do DC or lower AC voltages.

Is this true? Wondering if I should get the 1AC ii or 2AC as a DIY'er trying to learn electrical

From review

"With the 1AC I was able to easily sort out which wires were live inside of a cabinet, but with the 2AC, it lights up within up to multiple feet of the connection (making it useless if you have multiple potentially live connections close by.

For very spread out connections it'll do what you want, but the description is extremely misleading-- the fact that it's so completely different from the 'old' 1AC model is crazy."

That has not been my experience with mine. It turns on when held alongside the wire. Sometimes in a bundle you have to separate them to tell which ones are hot.
The only time mine has turned on from feet away has been near ignition transformers, which are in the 1000s of volts.
If I were that reviewer, I would return it under warranty. As described, it sounds defective.
