Product description

Product Description

Make sure all your wiring is correct with the Power Gear Receptacle Tester. This 3-wire tester detects probable improper wiring conditions in standard 110-125 VAC outlets. Testing to make sure wiring is correct saves you time and prevents double work. The tester displays different lighting patterns to indicate what wiring problem (if any) is detected. A lighting chart is included on the back of the packaging to help you identify which reading you are receiving. Please note that this tester does not indicate ground quality or reversal of grounded and grounding conductors. This product is UL listed.

Handy, necessary tool!

For less than $8, it's a good idea for every DIY'er to throw one of these in your toolbox. Light, durable, and easy to read the lights with the corresponding labels. My scenario: A strand of outlets stopped working. I plugged this in and only the far, right light illuminated. The sticker chart told me I had an open neutral. I traced the power to a junction box and sure enough, found loose wire nut that allowed a neutral to slip out! Helped save time as I knew exactly what I was looking for to correct the problem.

I also recently added a new outlet in my shop piggybacking off another outlet. Plugged this tester in and it showed me that all of my connections were correct! Great little tool!

This is what the electrician used.

Had an electrician come out to fix a T8 fluorescent ballast I had never done before and watched how he did it so I can now replace one myself. But he was testing a breaker that we often tripped when the microwave and the George Foreman grill were going and he used a tester at the outlets and fund one that was installed incorrectly in 1982. In fact he has never seen that type of particular outlet when it came time to replacing it. If you remember the old push the wire in quick and go type outlets you know what I am talking about. I laughed as I watched this young'un finally figure out how to remove it. Anyway I decided to test the rest of the house because he would test each and every outlet but for 10 times what this tester costs. Found another original outlet installed incorrectly in 1982 and it is fixed. The only thing I wish this one had was a GFCI button to test those. It is also good to know you got the right breaker off.

Easy to use

Bought the tester to make sure the outlet I wanted to use for my new earthing mat was properly grounded. Just plug it in and use the key on the tester to determine the results based on the colored light patterns. All of my outlets showed as being properly grounded. May need to test on an ungrounded outlet just to make sure the tester doesn't always read as properly grounded.

I install electronic devices in residential homes and need to verfy quickly the state of electrical outlets and this fits the bill nicely.

A must have for any DIY'er

This thing is great! I've been replacing a lot of our GFCI outlet plates in my home as of late as they're a bit outdated and some of them are loose or no longer even worked half the time. This thing will tell you based on the color coded lights whether or not the job was done correctly, or if the outlet has power (which is important if you don't want to get zapped).

One thing to note is that the reverse hot/ground error light is a bit misleading. I received this error code after hooking up an outlet in the kitchen and was a bit purplexed. After surfing the internet other people has posted similar issues and it was discovered that this meant is was an open neutral instead. If you receive either of those error codes you should turn off the power to the outlet and check the connections. In my case when I stuck the socket back into the wall, the ground connection was a bit loose and after I tightened the screw the light went away.
