Hi-Tech HTP-6 Digital Circuit Breaker Identifier

This one for my husbands friend. Husband used his and liked it, now we know what circuit every room goes to and which outlet

YES, it gets regular false positives, and NO, its not that big a deal. Almost always, you can get the result down to a few breakers (usually 1-3 in my case). Then you flip them off one at a time to see if the LED goes off on the sender. Done. Which is better--doing the flip and check on two or three breakers or perhaps the whole darn bank? I agree with the reviewer that said its biggest limitation is needing a live circuit, and, for me, thats almost never a problem.

This product works as advertised. I have both circuit breakers and older screw-in fuse panels and Circuit Detective readily found the individual circuits in both panels. I used a two-way handi-talker to communicate with a helper who plugged the transmitter into circuits while I used the detective to locate circuits. Nice tool!

Good value. Does the job.

I have owned this model circuit detective for nearly a year. I have tried multiple times and have NEVER had it detect a correct circuit. I have followed the directions to the letter to no avail. I have contacted the company and even sent my unit to the company (Hi-Tech) asking for a replacement under the lifetime warranty, only to be told that there was nothing wrong with the unit and that I must be doing something wrong. It does not work as advertised. Save your money and find a helper to hollar when you flip the correct breaker.

I used my HTP-6 Circuit Detective for the first time yesterday. The instructions seemed simple; however, I went to the web site and watched a video demonstrating how to use it. I thought things were progressing well until I checked the circuits by closing the breakers involved. The HTP-6 was wrong as often as it was right. So, what is the point? Perhaps I have a defective unit. Still, now that I have done the legwork and identified all of the breakers associated with all of the outlets and fixtures in my home, does anyone want to buy a once-used HTP-6 Circuit Detective which may or may not get you electrocuted?

works great

It works well if you follow the directions. You must keep the arrow up and go over the wholw panel first or you get false readings

A little hard to use at first. But it does it’s job!

I live in an old home (1918) and really needed to map out the breaker to know where everything is. This product worked great and did what it said it would do. Recommend getting the light socket plug so you can track those too. Wont work with 220v outlets or light switches. Did a great job tracking every outlet to a breaker. Power button for the receiver is extremely sensitive so best to set it down when off. A tiny flick of a pinky will kick it on.
