    Hi-Tech HTP-6 Circuit Detective Breaker Finder (seems same as the Reliance) 10/20/1016 Ive had this now for five years. Not a lot of use, but glad I have it. Some notes: - gotta follow the directions. - you must do the pre-scan. - you MUST have the power button on top (I almost gave up until I followed the instructions exactly) - the power button is easy to bump in storage. I wrapped a twist-tie around it to stop it from accidentally turning on (plastic covered is better than paper). A commenter inspired this by suggesting using an o-ring. - its helpful to have a light socket adapter to plug the sending unit into to test light sockets, and an alligator clip adapter for testing light switches. They are available in several brands as a kit in the test equipment section at Lowes and Home Depot for about $10 and and also here on Amazon- see Klein Tools 69411 Circuit Breaker Finder Accessory Kit or search circuit breaker finder. Or you can buy just the light socket adapter by itself in any hardware store.

    I used my HTP-6 Circuit Detective for the first time yesterday. The instructions seemed simple; however, I went to the web site and watched a video demonstrating how to use it. I thought things were progressing well until I checked the circuits by closing the breakers involved. The HTP-6 was wrong as often as it was right. So, what is the point? Perhaps I have a defective unit. Still, now that I have done the legwork and identified all of the breakers associated with all of the outlets and fixtures in my home, does anyone want to buy a once-used HTP-6 Circuit Detective which may or may not get you electrocuted?

    For me this circuit tester works occasionally, but not on most circuits in my house or my daughters house. Theyre both 40-year-old houses with a mishmash of wiring and lots of cheater circuit breakers (two breakers in a space made for one), so maybe that has something to do with the poor performance. I did follow the instructions very carefully, avoided the user errors that other reviewers have mentioned, and retried several times with each circuit. Amazon, as usual, made it quick and easy to return the tester for a refund.

    I purchased this model circuit detective in Nov.05. I have yet to see it find a correct circuit after following the directions to the letter. I recently returned it to the company (Hi-Tech), asking for a replacment under the lifetime warranty only to have them return the same unit to me stating that there was nothing wrong with it. I guess I believed the hype about the different technology and it cost me $30+. My recommendation is to save your money and find a helper to hollar when the power goes off for a particular circuit as you flip the breakers in the basement.

Simply plug the Circuit Detective’s transmitter into a wall outlet on the circuit you’re trying to locate, then run the receiver over the circuit breakers or fuses in your box. When the receiver beeps and flashes, you"ve located the right circuit. Receiver operates on one 9v battery (not included). UL listed.
