Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

Works as advertised. Instructions not very clear though, and power button is very sensitive so battery may drain fast.

It served the purpose for my use at home and I like the compact size.

This device works fine as long as the instructions are followed carefully. It did get confused once or twice indicating that a circuit could be powered by one of two adjacent circuit breakers. But when I removed the panel cover I noticed the wire from the correct breaker had been routed down near the breaker below before angling away. This is a fault of the eletrician that originally wired the panel and not the HTP-6 and appears to be a common problem. I would have given this 5-stars instead of 4 but for the overly sensitive on/off switch.

this is pretty basic device. Works only on receptacles that actually have a working path back to the circuit box. If you are trying to trace back a non working receptacle, this is not the answer. it will help you find (and turn off ) the breaker for the circuit you are working on. ... so it is good for that. Works only for plug in receptacles and light sockets that you can screw a socket to receptacle adapter into. (sold separately. ) I am assuming you could pigtail alligator test leads to an receptacle. plug this into the receptacle and attach the alligator clips to bare wiring, but they sell fox and hound circuit testers which do exactly that, so why go through the trouble.. Nice to have tool... but not exactly essential, unless you just need a low level tool. Not for electrical troubleshooting.

Very handy.

It didnt work for me, but Ill give it two stars, as my breaker panel is old and may not be standard. I followed the directions, yet the device lit up on some of the wrong breakers and wouldnt light up on the right ones.

Love this device. No need for a second hand to help identify circuits when you have this.

It is works!

The instructions are very short, but theres nothing special about using this tool. Do what the instructions tell you and itll point to the right breaker. Note: if your house wiring is screwed up to begin with, dont expect this tool to resolve those issues. Thats not what it does.

For me this circuit tester works occasionally, but not on most circuits in my house or my daughters house. Theyre both 40-year-old houses with a mishmash of wiring and lots of cheater circuit breakers (two breakers in a space made for one), so maybe that has something to do with the poor performance. I did follow the instructions very carefully, avoided the user errors that other reviewers have mentioned, and retried several times with each circuit. Amazon, as usual, made it quick and easy to return the tester for a refund.
