Read the recent reviews, this one is pretty unreliable.

Read the one star reviews on this one. Someone tested it on a known hot socket and it didn't detect it. Also, light didn't work for some, only the sound.
Back to the drawing board.

I have a Klein one, so I'll call that the middle tier to your breakdown. More than $8 but not very expensive since I bought it in a set.
I love it, it's great and I've used it dozens of times...

Klein had a recall on some of their testers that exhibited this problem, may want to check if yours is included.

I had the same experience, which i was surprised by. While I love fluke tools I kept my klein one over the fluke.

Get a outlet tester. I prefer the smaller ones. The tester you have your pocket or electric go bag, is lot better than the one you left home.

No, this Fluke does not work like that. I have had testers that worked that way, they would signal even when they were a few inches away from a voltage source. That is fine if all you want to do is...

Any should trigger without touching the wire. You should even be able to stick it near a socket and it should go off.

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...

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the probe size on the Fluke. It is too large to fit in modern plug sockets. The Ideal one does. I've got both.

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