Can anybody recommend a voltstick type live wiring detector that isn't too sensitive and can pinpoint hidden live wires behind plasterboard fairly accurately.

I do have one that I use at work as a quick checker to see if the windsreen heaters on the Aircraft that i work on are working, but it is too sensitive, if i use it to try to pin point hidden wires it seems to start buzzing and lights up when i get within a foot of a live circuit , OK for what i bought it for, but not very discriminating when a bit more accuracy is needed.

The Bosch is very good. The best of its kind that I've used. (So long as you read the instructions carefully and appreciate the limitations of such devices.)
