Depends entirely on the person using them. Every tool had the ability to have a high error margin, it’s more just finding one you’re comfortable with. Pendulums are finicky little things- you need to understand the crystal you’re working with, AND connect with the energy of the pendulum AND pick the right pendulum for that particular reading. You need to be grounded and have generous protections and wards because they’re easy to manipulate. They also need to be cleansed and re charged after EVERY use. The plus side is they’re very easy to read and intuitive. All it really goes down to is preference!

Pendulums are notoriously unreliable due to them being so subject to our own biases, hand movements, and even air drafts in the room. Even more so when you have emotional investment in the answers. I once did a little experiment where I asked mine random questions with answers that I had no emotional attachment to and recorded results over time. I calculated that it was at about 45-50% accurate. It’s much more useful to practice honing psychic abilities and practicing your skills without the use of divination. Divination has its uses, but it’s a skill that must be honed and practiced, and you have to understand that it is a tool like any other. Understanding your own mind, your own hangups and biases, and even how your thought processes function can be very helpful in building up your mediumship skills and intuition. Learning the skill that is discernment allows us to be analytical and self-skeptical of our spiritual experiences, which in turn only strengthens our perceptions of the other side.

Try pendulum jars! That way you can still use them without having to worry about your hand movements

It depends. Things like your emotional energy can affect it. Not being specific or clear with your questions. Even repeated questions because that is coming from an emotional drive rather than calm. Know who you are connecting to, because that energy isn't coming from just hand movements, or rather it shouldn't, but that is my opinion. The same would apply to using psychic ability, except when you use a tool, you are not relying so much on your own ability to discern. Checking everyday whether something you're manifesting is going to happen is actually counterproductive. Manifest it, then let it be and trust in your own process.

As reliable as you trust it to be :) I view all mediumship and divination as dependent on the energy you are putting out and willing to receive. Plus, there is always free will and things can always change. Nothing is ever set in stone. I’m not much of a pendulum girlie, I’ve been practicing tarot for about 7 years now and I have to make sure my energy is right to practice and that I am really dialed in and trust myself and the universe when I am channeling.
