When it became clear I'd have to do a fair amount of electrical work on our "new" old house, I picked up a Greenlee combo that includes a cheap digital multimeter, a non-contact voltage sensor like the one you mention, and a simple outlet wiring checker (unfortunately, without a GFCI test button). That little non-contact thingummy is great, I love it to bits. When I bought it I thought it might be over-indulgent but now I'm convinced it's an essential tool.
