Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

Lights up to identify any electrical issues. Great tester!!

Easy to read. Works well

Apart from lights not being very bright in a sunny room, it works very well.

Its a quality outlet tester that youll pay a few bucks more for than a budget version. Works as intended. I would use this tool professionally if I were a home inspector.

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.

Definitely not the best

Easy to use.

I was happy with the outlet tester. I had 3 outlets with out power and it helped me find the problem, a GFI outlet was tripped. Great Tool... Alex.

Better than I expected

Saved the price of this unit 10 times over on the first job with GFI problems.
