Just picked one of these up. I'm more of a hands-on visual learner than a manual reader. Thanks for the instructional video.

Your welcome.

I am fascinated by the knife.

@JimMcLaren1950 Жыл бұрын

The knife cut the package easily. The blade is definately sharper.

Good video! The only thing I’d recommend is the small zipper bag to keep the entire kit together. Klein does offer one for $16 bones.

Already have one that checks polarity. And the one from Lee Valley which just helped me find the breaker for my outdoor plugs! Mine predate having to have a separate breaker. But I still want to replace them with the gfi outlets I bought. Might only need one gif if I can figure out which plus is first in the run. Then I'd put the other on my outdoor a/c rv receptacle.

Could they have made that light socket into a three prong connector instead of two prongs?

@eddiemarano9998 Жыл бұрын

Good job Jim! Do you have any idea why in the accessory package you bought they include a 2-prong socket adapter and not a 3-prong given the transmitter is 3-pronged? Seems like the 2 to 3 prong adapter is an unnecessary step if they went with a 3-prong adapter.

@JimMcLaren1950 Жыл бұрын

Yes I was wondering why myself they just didn't make the 3 prong adapter

Great review. Anything you didn't like about it. How did it compare to the other testers you've reviewed?

@JimMcLaren1950 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Its easier to use than the last Circuit breaker tester I reviewed. Just hit power button and scan panel, I like the transmitter it tells you if wiring is correct. The socket adapter was not included. Only think I didn't like was the beeping when I was doing the video that gets annoying.

does it work if there is no power to the transmitter?

@Noemailads 8 ай бұрын

No one ever answers this question, such an important basic question and no answer.

@Noemailads 8 ай бұрын

But the answer is no, it does not detect or identify an outlet unless it is not tripped. If it’s tripped at the panel or a GFI you have to reset it first.

@@Noemailads since no one’s answered my question, I purchased the circuit breaker and find out for myself. It does not work if the power outlet has no power.

Does anyone have experience using this tool with an electrical panel that utilizes tandem breakers? Can it pinpoint the correct individual circuit on the tandem breaker device (hope this question makes sense :)?

@wmf1595 2 жыл бұрын

can this be used to find what breaker controls a switch? The switch controls an outdoor light which has stopped working. I'd rather not work on a live circuit (I'm just a home owner, not an electrician). It's kind of a catch-22 - I can't find the breaker since the lamp has stopped working, and I can't get the lamp working without removing the device and testing. (it's an LED lamp where the bulb is permanent).

@JimMcLaren1950 2 жыл бұрын

This Breaker finder will work but you need to put the transmitter in the socket of the light. You could shut your whole electrical panel off to remove and check it.

@@JimMcLaren1950 thanks. There is no socket for the light. It's in soldered on LED bulb. I could disassemble it and use alligator clips to the leaves, but I think it would be more prudent to turn off the main panel, as you suggested
