RIQINXIN Socket Tester Electrical Receptacle Tester AC Outlet Plug 3 Prong Circuit Tester Pack of 1

The AC Plug 3 Prong Electrical Socket Tester by Riqinxin is an effective and easy to use little tool. I often simply use it to verify that the power is off to an outlet prior to removing the faceplate cover. But at the same time, it tells me if the outlet is wired correctly or do I have the potential of getting into electrical trouble. Trouble readings are pasted on the unit for easy viewing.

Its a down and dirty little outlet tester. It does the job at a great price. I am happy with the purchase.

These 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

If you do any kind of electrical work, you must have one of these. The professional use them so if youre a home DIYer, you should too. Its invaluable to let you know if youve done the wiring work correctly or if youre trying to track down a problem. Like me, I just bought a house and used this to find that whoever had been doing work on the electrical here, didnt know what they were doing. I was able to track down some issues and correct them before a fire started or someone was electrocuted. Always keep one of these in your tool box.

This 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.

This 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!

Seems 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.

This 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.

I replaced my old one with this one as the case on my old one was broken. I tested it on all my sockets and it worked as expected even mis wired one and it caught it. Every home should have one of these they could save your life I use mine when I’m RVing too.

The 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.
