Gardner Bender GRT-3500 Outlet Receptacle Tester & Circuit Analyzer, Indicates 5 Wiring Errors, Easy Read Chart, Comfort Grip, 120 VAC , Black

Nice and easy to use to make sure your outlets are working and safe to use! Haven’t had a false response since using

I have tried other products and did not get what I was looking for this product is very accurate

The fine print is a little hard to read. I had to use my phone as a magnifying glass.

Nice receptacle tester. Easy to read & understand.

Some receptacles are installed upside down which make the unit hard to use & read.

This tool has helped reinforce the fact that I have no clue what Im doing when it comes to electrical work! This is a must for DYIers like myself. I used this tool to confirm I royally screwed up the grounding for all the outlets in my house when I changed them to 3 prong outlets.

First of all, it works. There are however two problems, one worse than the other: 1) The end of the plug was blunt, not tapered. Consequently it did could not be pushed into the new (probably stiffer) outlets I was trying to test. It would push into older outlets that had been loosened up a bit through use, but there was no reason to test older outlets. To get this to work, I had to put an extension cord into the outlet to be tested, then put the meter into the well-used extension cord. Ill probably taper the plug later with a file. 2) The yellow/white coding on the label is difficult to read. As someone mentioned earlier, thats easy to fix with a marker, but is a design flaw that could easily be corrected by the manufacturer. Except for those two problems, it worked fine. I didnt have any problem with bleed-through on the lights, and so the indicator was easy to read.

Had a problem with electricy in garage. This tool helped fix problem.

When using this product for some odd reason certain new types of outlets it will not go in and I have to literally jam it in to make it go in side the socket. I need to figure out why it keeps doing that. But overall it is a good product.

much more sturdy than the yellow common ones out there. i am an apartment inspector and i test dozens of gfis a week. unfortunately the labels are starting to peel at the corners. im hoping i can trim the corners off with an exacto and they will stop peeling. i doubt most people will have this problem as mine lives in my pocket all day. err day.
