          I don't have the harbor freight one, but a craftsman, but even if it was Fluke brand, I would still test it on a known live circuit.

          What is the problem of the outlet when the detector detects but the outlet doesn't actually provide any power?

          The "shills" that you're referencing are SDers with long term accounts with posting histories that don't support your claim.

          Probably a switched outlet and they broke the wrong one.  You break the hot, not the neutral. 
 
If you touch the hot and then a ground, you'd get shocked. 
 
Could be the ground is energized somehow...

          Fluke is definitely the leader, but how does it compare to say a harbor freight one for like 8 bucks? 
 
Still seems pricey when it's such a simple device.
