> 24 hourI have an older home (140 yrs old) and it has had a lot of work done on the electrical things. This product worked very well for my needs. I used it to complete an electrical map of all my outlets and installed electrical runs.

> 24 hourThe HTP-6 Breaker Identifier works as they said it would . Now away to label those countless breakers that does not have a Label! Will save a lot of steps, strong single at 70 feet today! Just follow the instructions that could be a little larger!

> 24 hourYES, it gets regular false positives, and NO, its not that big a deal. Almost always, you can get the result down to a few breakers (usually 1-3 in my case). Then you flip them off one at a time to see if the LED goes off on the sender. Done. Which is better--doing the flip and check on two or three breakers or perhaps the whole darn bank? I agree with the reviewer that said its biggest limitation is needing a live circuit, and, for me, thats almost never a problem.

> 24 hourWorked great for finding the breakers connected to various outlets on your own. Just follow the instructions. As others note, the power button its easy to accidentally push and drain the battery. I just pull the battery and store it in the original l packaging.

> 24 hourIt works well if you follow the directions. You must keep the arrow up and go over the wholw panel first or you get false readings

> 24 hourThis device did everything I wanted with no issues. I have a 200-Amp panel with about 25 breakers in it, a mixture of single and double pole breakers. You plug the injector/transmitter into a plug and then use the detector at the circuit panel. First, youll want to sweep the detector over every breaker. Notice that the green arrow will light up at several places, especially on any double-pole breakers. This is the calibration stage. Now, go ahead and sweep a second time -- this time around, you should only get the arrow on one of the breakers. I think some of the other reviewers skipped the calibration pass. The instructions arent entirely clear on this step - it says to do it, but doesnt completely make the how clear. Its easier if you have a friend on the intercom, but you can verify this by turning off the breaker and seeing if the transmitter goes dead. You should also lose your green arrow on the detector. I wish this device had a battery option so you could try it on dead/tripped breakers. Im giving it 4-stars, losing a star because of the lack of instructions.
