Triplett AC Line Splitter and GFCI Outlet/Receptacle Tester with 5 Visual Indicators (ET200)

I use this for work and it is very important to be accurate. I have used at least seven or eight different types. This is the one.

If your looking for a cheap good plug tester, this works great. It is a simple device and there isnt much to it, but mine has taken a beating over the past week an it works great, even after 15ft falls.

The tester part reduces the size of the 1st hole and my clamp meter doesnt fit it.

Saved a lot of time replacing all outlets in house

A must have at home!

This appears to be substantially the same as several similar units I have or have used. The new thing (to me) is the GFCI testing button. If its not apparent from the picture, the thing that looks like a guard around the GFCI testing button isnt. Im not really sure why its there at all; the button protrudes a few millimeters and takes very little force to depress. So far, Ive successfully tripped a known working in-wall GFCI... and proved to my satisfaction that a GFCI-protected extension cord I bought for cheap from Wal-Mart is probably unsafe / defective(?). (If the GFCI light comes on, probably even for a moment, while connected to a GFCI-protected circuit, its probably time to get a better GFCI. In the case of the extension cord, the GFCI light stayed a bright, solid, ominous red for as long as I cared to hold the button down.) I dont have any out-of-code outlets or appliances Im aware of, so theres a slight question mark about the other functions; it does light the completely correct pattern for all of my known-good outlets, extension cords, etc.

This is an excellent splitter for use with most any over wire meter. It gives consistent, accurate readings regardless of load.

Thanks

Well, it’s super tough to get a heirloom quality tool these days, so don’t expect that. But this essential tool works well enough. 4 stars for accuracy. Both the 1X and 10X slots should read the same (decimal point should just be moved over 1 place), but they are 3/10ths of an amp off from each other at 12 amps. That’s not too bad, but it’s not what it should be.

Very good Quality, Thanks.
