Can a Klein Tools Non-Contact Voltage Tester Measure Static Electricity?

[Steven Ellet]

Would a Klein Tools Non-Contact Voltage Tester or similar be able to measure static electricity? If not what will?

Looks like it is rated to 1000v, sure what static measurements you need, but frequently static will measure >10,000 Volts. Perhaps much greater then,

Because static electricity stays "static," normal devices intended to measure AC may react to a change in position or voltage, but afterwards, they'll go off.
The two tools of choice are an electrostatic voltmeter, which uses electrostatic attraction between plates to rotate a meter, or a voltmeter which uses a vibrating reed or a moving vane to repeatedly hide and expose a surface to the voltage and measure the induced AC current. The latter device was used in copiers.
