I take the view that mains is either on or off, and that’s all I need to know – more complicated than that and I’ll get a spark, as you say Alan.
But I love
these little things, which answer the on/off question for me. I have one that’s about 40 years old, and still works fine – possibly still on the original battery
I also have a budget multimeter from the early 80’s, still going well – I think it might be on its original PP3 as well… if it has been replaced, I’m reckoning once in 40 odd years…
