Contact and non-contact detection answer different questions with different certainty. A contact tester touches the conductor and confirms voltage is present. A non-contact detector senses a field near it, which finds a live cable without exposing it but does not prove a circuit is dead. Both have a place, and most electrical work ends up using each at a different stage.
That distinction matters because proving dead is a different operation from finding live. A non-contact detector showing nothing is not a proof, and the contact testers here are VDE rated at 140mm and 190mm for the work where a proof is required. A detector is used to find something quickly; a tester is used to prove something before work starts.
Voltage range has to cover the circuit, and the non-contact detectors here run 80 to 1000V with CAT III forms at 600V and 1000V. A socket tester checks the wiring at an outlet rather than the supply, which finds a reversed or missing connection. Reading the category alongside the range is what makes the instrument suitable rather than merely capable.
Detection beyond electrical covers what is inside a wall. A combined metal, voltage and stud detector finds a joist, a cable or a pipe before a hole is made, and moisture and wood testers read damp in material rather than on its surface.

ActiveFinder and AC/DC voltage testers sit between the two approaches on the same leaf.
