Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

So having just replaced a flaky since we moved in over 20 years ago gfci receptacle in the garage (due to loose wire, but also it turns out due to the top plug-in failed when the plug was plugged all the way in), I wanted to be sure everything is now okey-dokey out there. And it is (checked all the plugs inside the garage and outside). Before that I had also tested all the plugs in the master bathroom (aok) and in the kitchen (aok). Also unfortunately I had tested the guest bathroom plugs. It turns out the only (2-plug) receptacle in there did ground fault when tested, but there is no reset button… so now there are no usable plugs in the guest bathroom. At least the lights and fan in there still work. And in this adjacent bedroom I am in, which shares the same circuit breaker, or so I thought. Hmm… where oh where is the reset button (or breaker (nothing looks amiss in the breaker box))? Edit: Following up, I found out that the guest bathroom and the master bathroom (and all the houses exterior plugs) are all tied to the one gfci plug set in the master bathroom. Also figured out what the two kitchen gfci plug sets were tied to circuit breaker wise, and which other plugs went with which gfci plug (not all of the kitchen plugs it turns out are tied to either of the two gfci plugs). So my mapping of all the plugs and light switches for the entire house is now (even more) complete, helped along by knowing which ones are protected from ground faults and which are not. Great investment. I feel a lot safer.

No problems at all. Quality product.

Works great, and great value

This is awesome! Even if you dont wire outlets yourself, you should check your outlets. This tool helped me to see there was an issue with a ground wire. The ground wire had a small hidden break in it and I was able to locate it and fix it. Without this tool, the outlet would work, and I wouldnt have known that it could be a shock issue. Very helpful!

Got it for home inspection and it worked as expected.

Does the job

Easier to read

This works just like it should. I dont have a hard time seeing the lights. It was a good price and gets the job done.

Worked as promised to check the wiring of a gfi outlet and to test the ground fault mechanism.

Works as advertised!
