Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

I purchased this because the bone headed electrician who wired our home (built in 1976) didnt bother to label the breakers. There are 20 breakers in my main panel and this device found all of them with no errors. It saved a lot of running around the home to find the lights and outlets served by a breaker. I do not know why any others had a problem with it but for me it certainly was well worth the money!

Read the use guide and it works fine. Have not tried from our 2nd floor yet but so far it is a great product.

Love this device. No need for a second hand to help identify circuits when you have this.

It works good, I still have problems but is not because of these equipment

It worked as advertised. I would have given a fifth star if I hadnt discovered that it sometimes gives false positives--when the sensor is over an adjacent breaker and not the correct one. I found that running the sensor around the panel a second time gave the correct signal.

I dont understand the negative reviews. Ive used this product in many different locations both at work and at home and its always worked great.

I was a little hesitant to buy this based on one of the reviews. But, I had walked about ½ mile back and forth between the breaker panel and the other end of the house trying to identify outlets to breakers by myself. I figured that for $20 I would give it a try. It worked great! I put in a fresh 9V battery, plugged the transmitter into an outlet I wanted to identify, and walked to the breaker panel. I did the first pass calibration scan, followed by the identification scan, and bingo - breaker identified. There was no question which breaker it was. Not being too trusting, I tried it several more times moving the transmitter around the house - just to make sure it was really that simple and accurate - and it is! This is brain-dead easy to operate, and worked flawlessly for me. I should have bought it before I did my last re-model project; I would have saved several hours and a lot of walking.

Case is cheap plastic and the battery door is difficult to close after battery is installed. The unit does identify as advertised. Reading the instructions is a must.

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.

WORKED JUST FINE
