I agree with you.  My point was that there are other volt meters, which
don't have voice, that go up to 10, 20, amps,  and even higher, with the use of
an amprobe.  An amprobe is a transformer like device which is placed
around the wire, and you never have to physically touch a bare lead.
Thus, limiting the risk of death.  In other words, why did they stop at
that point.  I also have talked to other friends of mine who are
electricians and they all say that the meter is extremely slow in
getting a reading.  I am still considering buying it, and developing my
own attenuation devices.
