Hi
On my course we had it drilled into our heads that mutlimeters are bad and we should use one of these

If say you found a junction box/cable randomly undernearth the floor. The most hands free approach to ensure it's dead would be a clamp meter right? Is there anything wrong with using one for this purpose?
Would it be safer than a multimeter since you're never in contact with the circuit. IT uses the emi the cable gives off to determine it's voltage.
