For 240v socket testing a test plug (£5-£10) is even easier ... and a lot safer.

When I was working in Oman I loaned out my tester and the idiot dropped it from a great height and broke it.

The word got round and everywhere I went the lads were shouting "Bing bong, AVO falling" (instead of bing bong, Avon calling).

They are great for finding breaks in wires and checking towing equipment.
