Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

Easier to read

I wanted to add this item to my diagnostics kit. It should be helpful when I get to use it.

Works great handle is a bit flimsy but overall a great product.

Works perfect

Excellent high quality product with LED table which makes it crystal clear on whether your GFCI outlet is functional or has any issues. Definitely a bargain at the sale price.

Ideal check for power in unknown outlets before plugging truck in overnight

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.

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!
