    What's the proper term for the type of Phase tester that works by touching the outside of a cable rather than having to touch the copper core.

    Cheers J.

    Depends on the type of tester, and the type of test.

    If it's the Fluke one then it's known as a Volt Stick.

    Really you want to use an approved voltage indicator/test lamps with two probes.

    I have one with a loud beeping indication. Very useful for indicative tests. A volt tick vt10.
