I haven't 'debunked' any product, but simply highlighted issues that may arise when personally importing goods of unknown quality, which are poorly advertised.
The other indicator is from UNI-T and, while I can't comment on it's reliability, I see no reason to question a product which is manufactured to known standards, by an established company and sold through a distribution network that bears a measure of responsibility to ensure it is fit for purpose.
Is there anything else I can help to clarify?
Interesting. According to UNI-T, the product is discontinued, but as you have discovered, is available on ebay from chinese vendors. Looks identical to the one I have.UNI-T UT13A Adjustable Sensitivity Voltage Detector Pen AC 24-600V Non-Contact | eBay

Perhaps you can tell us all about what standards non contact voltage indicators should comply with, how to ensure that a product does comply with said standards, and what dangers physical or legal could result from using a non compliant product.. Because I haven't a clue, and I couldn't give a monkey's.
If that's what I'd meant, I'd have posted as much.After you looked them up, you mean

I've no idea what standard non-contact voltage testers should meet, which is why I haven't suggested any.
What I did refer to was 'manufacturing standards', meaning quality control. I even made an effort at clarifying this with the comment "Perhaps they're great or perhaps quality varies wildly from one to the next".
The Dl-Log 107 seems a decent price, and has variable detection down to 24V - and complies with EN 61010-1 EN 61010-2-030 EN 61326-1 EN 61326-2-2 LVD & EMC (for what it's worth without having copies of all those)
