Does anyone have experience using "Volt-Sticks" ? What is its theory of operation? Is there another tool/device that does the same thing?
Thanks

I found some discussion on their operation here:
http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5730554_do-volt-sticks-sense_.html
I also found an OSHA report that seems to disapprove of them:
https://www.osha.gov/dts/hib/hib_data/hib19911218.html
It was issued in 1991 but a newer report didn't popup so that may tell you something.
