Don't think that will be big seller, way overpriced for what it does and the accessories are priced to match
It might appeal to those who are easily parted from their money when the latest "must have"gimmicks come to market
 
I was thinking it would sell for £60 max !
That is the price point I was thinking
I do wonder what they cost to manufacture, a lot of products like this are not manufactured in sufficient quantities to bring them in at a sensible price, although some are manufactured in bulk and badged to each buyers requirements
 
Their website suggests they'd like to sell plenty to the DIY market.

Got to admire their optimism.

Yeah their competition which is what I use is a LAP plug in voltage tester that screams like hell.. Can hear it no problem in pretty much any house, commercial you might have to walk to the stairway to hear it but at about £10 so much cheaper... Nice idea but for me compared to my plug in voltage tester its too big so would not keep it in my tool tote like my tester and way to expensive for the 1% of times it would save time over my plug in tester, but then the amount of time to go dig this thing out would negate any time saved anyway...
 
Doesn't seem to meet regs in that it is not BS standard for the type of device. At least they don't mention that. I would not trust that device for safe isolation as it is RF, things could go wrong and get a false negative/positive. The price, yeh the price pffft!
 
MY plug in socket tester was loud .But no way can you hear it across a 2 bed flat etc .
