home electrical question

I need to move a junction box about 8 feet and hang a chandelier over a dining table. It's in an older home with no attic and I need to pull a couple new wires.

I remember seeing a stud finder that claims to detect live AC wires through drywall and was wondering if a tool like this could be used to locate wires running through floor joists behind 1-2 sheets of drywall and which one would be best for that task.

Looks like this one is good for 2" of cover:

I stopped looking when I found that one, googled "circuit finder tool" and got several million hits.
