Triplett AC Line Splitter and GFCI Outlet/Receptacle Tester with 5 Visual Indicators (ET200)

Its not a very stylish design, unlike some others, but on the other hand, it works perfectly, first time, every time, unlike many of the competitors. The lights are clear and bright, the button wont get pushed on accident, but is easy to trip when you want, and the GFCI LED is undeniable proof when the outlet isnt working right. Pushing the button instantly trips working GFCI outlets before the LED can light-up, and makes it incredibly quick and easy to go through an entire house and check out every single outlet in record time, easily making it worth the purchase price in just the first 10 minutes of use. Even if youre tired of the proliferation of specialty tools you need to carry around, like I am, this is one to get, as a multimeter takes so damn much longer. Dont bother with other models, just because they look sleeker... They got it right with this one.

Well, it’s super tough to get a heirloom quality tool these days, so don’t expect that. But this essential tool works well enough. 4 stars for accuracy. Both the 1X and 10X slots should read the same (decimal point should just be moved over 1 place), but they are 3/10ths of an amp off from each other at 12 amps. That’s not too bad, but it’s not what it should be.

This works great. I too was worried about the size of the 1x area being too small for my amp meter to fit into it. I have two amp meters and they both work fine. This is an inexpensive tool and for the average person will work fine. It feels and looks great. Most typical amp meters will fit both the 1x and the 10 x . It allows you to read amps, check ground fault ,location for volt readings and any polarity issues. I took a chance with it. Knew that I could always return it for a refund. It has worked fine for me and went ahead and ordered a second one for a another electrician that doesnt have one. Glad I got this.

A must have at home!

This appears to be substantially the same as several similar units I have or have used. The new thing (to me) is the GFCI testing button. If its not apparent from the picture, the thing that looks like a guard around the GFCI testing button isnt. Im not really sure why its there at all; the button protrudes a few millimeters and takes very little force to depress. So far, Ive successfully tripped a known working in-wall GFCI... and proved to my satisfaction that a GFCI-protected extension cord I bought for cheap from Wal-Mart is probably unsafe / defective(?). (If the GFCI light comes on, probably even for a moment, while connected to a GFCI-protected circuit, its probably time to get a better GFCI. In the case of the extension cord, the GFCI light stayed a bright, solid, ominous red for as long as I cared to hold the button down.) I dont have any out-of-code outlets or appliances Im aware of, so theres a slight question mark about the other functions; it does light the completely correct pattern for all of my known-good outlets, extension cords, etc.

This is one of those where have you been all my life tools. Combined with a good clamp meter its an indispensable tool for an electrical DIYer or pro.

This thing works great for me. I can easily get my clamp meter around both the 1X and 10X areas no problem. As an added bonus it will measure 220V lines and says it can go to 300V. Its the only one Ive been able to find that does 220.

Great way to check your electric plugs

Ok

A replacement for an older Triplett meter. Works okay with an old analog Triplett meter.
