I've had at least two of them go bad within weeks of coming out of the packageI've had at least two of them go bad within weeks of coming out of the package. I've had testers from the 80's that lasted decades, and this cheap crap won't even last a month.1Did not work, despite following instructionsI followed the instructions exactly, and tried multiple times from shutting it off and starting over completely. However, it gave me 3 false positives and didn't identify the correct breaker at all. I don't know if there is something weird about my home's wiring, but it completely failed me. Also, I'd recommend choosing one with a manual sensitivity, since at least then you can dial in on the right sensitivity yourself instead of relying on what appears to be a poor automatic sensitivity mechanism.1Workes perfectly, best circuit breaker tracer I've ever used but you MUST follow the instructions and do the "calibration" passThis circuit breaker tracer works perfectly but you MUST follow the instructions. The unique auto-calibration system ensures that the correct breaker is identified every time without any false indications.Most devices like this suffer from problems with "false positives", meaning they beep at more than one circuit breaker and it's difficult to tell which one is actually powering the circuit you are working on. These false positives occur because the transmitter signal can be induced into other wires if they run parallel to the circuit under test. This occurs frequently in homes and businesses because all the wires must eventually go back to the breaker panel and many follow the same path to get there.This device uses a 2-step identification process to eliminate those false positives. When powered up, the device starts out at a high sensitivity level, meaning it will detect the transmitter signal even if it's weak from a far-away transmitter or caused by an "induced" signal. After the transmitter is plugged into the powered outlet, you slowly scan ALL the circuit breakers with the device to set the calibration level, disregarding any beeps. Each time the device detects a signal and beeps, it resets it's sensitivity threshold to match that signal. If it encounters another higher level signal it resets to that higher signal. In this way, by the time you are done scanning all the breakers the tester has set itself so that only the very highest signal in the circuit breaker box will activate it. This is what guarantees that when you make the second pass, only one circuit breaker, the one with the transmitter plugged in, is identified.I tested this in a breaker box where all the circuits were already identified. In every case the first pass through the box yielded several beeps, as circuits with induced signals were detected. But also in every case, the second pass through the box correctly identified the circuit under test, with no false positives.There is one drawback to this particular tester - the power switch is too sensitive and it takes a very light touch to turn it on. Just holding the device it's possible to turn it on accidentally and if it's left in a portable tool box it's likely to be turned on by jostling around. It will turn itself off after a delay, but it would be better if the on/off switch was not so sensitive.5Works as intended, read the instructions! Works great for identifying various wiring situations, and for tripping grounded GFCI outlets. As stated in the instructions, this will not trip a GFCI outlet with an open ground, or one that is improperly wired. Outlets places upside-down may prove difficult to read as the chart on the tester faces down in this situation. This Does not affect readings whatsoever in this position. Great device, I'd recommend it. 5Great tool for every homeCompletely worth the money! The GFCI feature is a nice bonus. That said, it's true the codes are printed on only one side, but they are much too small to be read by anyone over 50, so you'll need to make a larger version anyway and carry it in your pocket. I was having problems with a bathroom circuit and was going to call an electrician but decided to try this first -- and it told me exactly what was wrong. Saved me at least $100 house call.5The Perfect Tester for Dummies ! - Even your Mother-in-Law can use it !I bought two of these small, lightweight Amprobe ST-102B Socket outlet testers to mail to my siblings to test their regular electrical outlets and their GFCI electrical outlets.I tested both of the units that I purchased with my home's GFCI electrical outlets and non-GFCI outlets, and both testers work as designed.The GFCI outlets, (also known as GFI's), are the electrical outlets that are designed to trip, or turn off, instantly, whenever it senses electrical current passing from hot to ground. These type of outlets are required by the National Electrical Code for almost all electrical outlets that are within 6 feet from any water source, and all outside outlets. (Sometimes the normal electrical outlet is protected by a GFCI circuit breaker inside your electrical panel) The GFCI electrical outlets and GFI circuit breakers help prevent deaths from electrocution. This device is a TESTER, which is used to quickly inform you if the electrical outlet in your house is wired correctly and also to ensure that your GFCI trips when you push the little black button in the center of this tester. You must then RESET the GFCI circuit breaker (if you have one), or press the RESET the button on your GFCI electrical outlet to restore the electrical power to the outlet. If you have large fingers, you might need to use something like a pencil to push in the reset button on the GFCI outlet far enough to reset it. If pushing the black test button on this tester does NOT trip your GFCI outlet, either the GFCI outlet needs to be replaced, or, (and I've seen this too many times) the GFCI outlet was wired incorrectly (it may have been wired electrically backwards, which will allow the outlet to work, but not trip off ). In most locations, one GFCI outlet can protect one or more "normal" electrical outlets, which are sometimes located in other rooms or outside electrical sockets. If you use this tester on what appears to be a normal non-GFCI electrical outlet and push the test button, and the outlet becomes de-energized, you need to find the GFCI outlet or CFGI circuit breaker that controls the power to the outlet you just tested, and reset it. This tester has six different basic wiring result outcomes and it has a little chart, or table, illustrated on the top of the unit to inform you if the outlet is wired correctly, or if the circuit is dead or wired incorrectly in four other ways. This tests both regular 110 to 120 volt electrical outlets and the GFCI electrical outlets. The instructions state that the unit does NOT test for a missing ground wire. This tester will only TEST your electrical outlets - it won't FIX your problems. There are some good videos on the internet (youtube dott comm, and others) that will help to give you some electrical knowledge. As with all things electrical, if you don't know what you are doing, pay an electrician to diagnose and repair your electrical problems. If you can plug this tester into an outlet and compare the bright lights you see to the illustration on the chart, and if you can push a button, then you can determine if your electrical outlet is good. It's that easy!5Does the job I needed a new circuit tester and this one had the best reviews. Also this had a way to test GFCI circuits which my old couldn't. It does the job nicely, my only quibble is that one of the lights inside the tester is drooping and looks like it's ready to fall out of its chamber. Not worth returning because it still working fine. That's why I deducted a star. 4Excellent basic test equipment I've tried several of similar less expensive units sold on Amazon. This is the best one.The construction is solid. The indicator legends are highly visible. The GFCI test button functions smoothly and trips the GFCI as it should. The prongs are solid metal and the case is heavy plastic. It's a solid little chunk of test gear. The package does not get destroyed when you open this up. It is reusable and will help to keep the tester safe in a toolbox.I highly recommend this. I like it so much, I purchased a second one as a gift. 5Broke in a few months of very light useOne of the led lights stopped working after a few months rendering the tool worthless. I realize its not an expensive tool, but I expected it to last a few years. Looking to buy another one but not this brand.1Good for the price but there are better ones for more moneyFirst off it does work, BUT even though the transmitter is two prong non-polarized IF the circuit is not grounded it can t find the breaker 80% of the time. Check the receptacle first with a plug in tester. Also the receiver ON switch requires only a light breeze to turn it on, then you have to hold it down for 8-10 seconds to get it to turn off or let it time out in 6 or so minutes. It is VERY important that you don t turn it on until you are holding it near a live breaker as it has to learn the panel before it can locate.3Worth the few $ More!Someone stole my Ideal so I saw this one, and yes it is a bit more than others, but WOW... it is solid, easy to grip, and the test function works beautifully. That LED indicator is nice touch to show that it has sent the 4-5mA current to the ground to test the GFCI function. I have owned at least four different brands and this one is my favorite!5Great tester and very reliable I used this tester every day testing probably 20-30 outlets. Great tester and very reliable.......unless you drop it. I have had two break from dropping from approximately waist high. In both cases it cracked one of the plastic lenses. Both of these tested then failed to give proper test readings. There must be something that comes loose from impact. Still have not found a style that I like better. The lights on this tester can be seen from an angle. Some testers require you to be directly in front of them. Wish it was more durable. 4Works great but read my pointersWorks great. Here is what the instructions don't tell you. If you are testing multiple outlets you need to reset the receiver after testing each outlet. Let's say you test outlet #1 and using the tester you locate the breaker and turn it off. All is good and you identified the breaker associated with that outlet. You then move the transmitter to a new outlet. You need to push the button on the side of the "receiver" which looks like a remote control. Pushing the button resets the receiver (remote control looking device) After pushing the button you need to slowly scan the breakers. Scanning the breakers calibrates the device. It needs to be calibrated for each outlet. The receiver will light up and chirp at you. Do not hold the button on the receiver down. Push the button once and it will turn on the receiver. You will see the little red light turn on. After scanning the breakers to reset the receiver you slowly move the receiver over the breakers for the second time. It will locate the breaker for sure after you do this. I had my nine your old son scanning the breakers and I was in the basement on my cell phone with him moving the transmitter from outlet to out let. He was able to pick out the breaker 100% of the time. We scanned 9 different breakers.Works great! Read the instructions and my pointers and you will be happy with this tool.5It is relatively easy to use if you follow the instructionsThis is really a handy tool if your breaker panel is not marked or improperly marked and you cannot find the controlling breaker. It is relatively easy to use if you follow the instructions. Just plug the pronged tool into a receptical, then run the power tool along your breakers in your panel just once to activate the tool. After that just slowly run the tool once more over the breakers until you hear the alert. This is the breaker which controls the receptical which you have inserted the proned tool. Just remember to use common sense safety precautions when dealing with electrical elements.5Works as advertised I purchased this little device before my final construction meeting of my new home and it helped me verify all outlets were working and find the 3 outlets in the home that weren't. This helped me save the headache of finding them later after closing and having to go thru warranty for repair. Can't speak much about the specific error codes it diagnoses but it served my needs perfectly in a pocket size package. 5
