Voltage tester - screw driver

This colorful screwdriver is not Dr Who's ultrasonic screwdriver, however it is still an interesting device. Already when i still was young i had screwdrivers with voltage testers. However his modern version can not only detect mains live but also the neutral !  

It is advertised as "Intelligent Voltage Tester Pen AC Non-contact Induction Test Pencil Voltmeter Power Detector Electrical Screwdriver Indicator" . (The price in Q4 2023 is around one euro ).
In contrast to the classic voltage tester they contain a battery,
Below some text and screenshots from the vendor website on AliExpress with the specifications ans explaining how to use this voltage tester/.
