> 24 hourI needed an extra receptacle tester because I always misplace mine. This one works, and does what it should and so I am giving it 5 stars. One thing it lacks, which I didnt notice before ordering is a gfci tester button. You can get one that includes this feature from other name brands for a lower price. Ill keep this one in my toolbox but probably order one that has the gfci button.

> 24 hourThis tool is very handy to make sure the outlets are wired properly as well as make sure GFCIs are in working order and the Test and Reset buttons work. I would recommend this item to all DIYers as well as apprentice electricians. This tester gives me confidence that I correctly wired up all my outlets including the GFCIs! The lights work and are easy to read indicating if it is wired correctly or if it is improperly wired. The is comparable to Klien, 3M or Ideal outlet testers.

> 24 hourThis very handy tool does an excellent job at indicating whats what with electrical plugs. I am so glad that I found it, as it saved my bacon when I used it to make sure a socket was cold that I thought I had flipped the breaker on so I could change it, only to find, after plugging this grand device in, that the plug was still hot. Whew!

> 24 hourThese are great for the experts and for the homeowner, even if you know nothing about electric circuits. Simply plug into the socket and see what lights up. If you get two yellow lights all it fine, if not, the chart on it will tell you whats wrong. Its that simple. Test every outlet in your home, top and bottom, inside and outside, some can be wired right, some might be wrong. Or just use it to see if you have power to the outlet. A book from your local home store can teach you how to wire them up if your a handy do it yourself person, or at least be able to tell a repair person what the problem is and let them correct it. Great tool but not a great deal of money

> 24 hourSeems to work well enough, but something is inside the casing and it rattles when you shake it. Call me old fashioned, but I dont like loose things inside my electrical equipment. Not sure Im totally comfortable using this on the regular.

> 24 hourThis continuity tester is easy to use to test my grounding products. I like that it uses 2 AAA batteries, which are easy to install. And I also like that you can plug the end of the wire into the side of the tester to test the wire itself. Great product.

> 24 hourThe first one I got was defective. It kept saying that my neutral was open which I know was incorrect and I even went through the trouble of verifying the house wiring. So I think it was just a dead bulb in the tester, or some similar defect. I sent it back and got a good working one. You can see in the picture how the Klein tester shows that there are no issues with the outlet while this product indicate that there is an open neutral. Quality Issues is not what you want on equipment you use for testing, so my recommendation is to just pay a little more for a well know brand one like Klein.

> 24 hourThis three prong receptacle tester is easy to insert and remove from an outlet, has easy to read LED indicators and looks like it rugged enough to handle being in my toolbox. The only downside would be the sticker (what each LED combination indicates). I dont think the sticker will hold up unless I put a piece of clear tape over it or perhaps spray it with a coat of clear paint. Otherwise, i really like the tester.

> 24 hourThis tester is a must have for any homeowner. Dont rely solely on a NCV tester when dealing with outlets. This will let you know at a glance if your outlet has power and whether its wired correctly. This is as basic as you can get for an outlet tester but most of the time thats all you need. It doesnt have a GFCI test rip button (although it will test a GFCI outlet just fine). Ive had one of these in my toolbox for many years. Recently the ground prong broke loose so it was time to get a new one. This one did the trick.
