Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

Works properly.

worked just right as around house DIY

Definitely not the best

I have tried all sorts of brands, extech, Klien, you name it. This is the only one that the ground does not push in or pull out after a lot of use. Thank you for making a quality product. Highly recommend

Great little device. Helped me locate a bag GFI in my house and a neighbors house.

I set out on the adventure of replacing the old dark brown AC receptacles in our den, which used to have dark wood paneling on the walls. The room is now white, so the dark brown switches and AC outlets stick out like sore thumbs. This outlet tester has been an invaluable tool in the process. Not only can I make sure that I turned off the correct circuit at the breaker box, but it also let me know that I didnt properly secure a neutral wire on one of the receptacles, which made all of the other outlets in the room read as hot/ground reversed. That would have been difficult to diagnose for an amateur like myself if it werent for the tester readout. I also got a contact-less tester, which has been a huge help in making sense of the puzzling wiring decisions that the builders made in parts of our 40-year-old house. Between these two tools, Ive been able to safely and (somewhat) confidently meddle with the AC outlets and light switches in our house.

Quick, uncomplicated way to check electrical outlets.
