Important — about the word "insulated"
The listing calls this an insulated electrical tool. Unless the product options confirm a VDE 1000V rating with individual testing, a plastic handle is not electrical insulation, and a neon tester screwdriver works precisely because the shaft conducts current through you to earth.
Safety warning — please read
Never use a neon tester screwdriver as your proof that a circuit is dead. These are the least reliable voltage indicators there are: they miss live conductors behind shielding or in conduit, they need a current path through your body to light at all, and they give false readings from induced voltage.
Always prove dead with a two-pole voltage tester, and prove the tester on a known live source before and after.
Isolate the supply and lock it off before working. Mains electrical work is regulated in many countries — if you are not qualified, use an electrician.
