IDEAL INDUSTRIES INC. SureTrace 61-957 Circuit Tracer Open/Closed, 360 Degree, Black

Works well

I only used it for finding a short circuit. There were 20 recessed LED light fixtures embedded in concrete and this instrument found a shorted conductor. It would have taken hours to find the short if I didn’t have this instrument. It took about 10 minutes to find the short circuit.

great delivery and fast very strong signal seams to work good

It’s an awesome tool

Traced lines under ground to find numerus problems in some park security lighting

This unit is not easy to use at first. but the good thing is, you will be able to label panels, locate circuit really fast. No need to flip breakers anymore. Also it can tell you if an outlet bos is part of the circuit or not, so you dont have to take things apart that is not. also can locate path of conduits. So,you can get your feet wet as you learn how to use. comes with cables to help assist in locating problem, etc. Only drawback is both units have 4 aa batteries,and you need to shut off asap or batteries will die. there is an auto off but maybe like 5 or 10 mins or something like that.

My most favorite electrical tool ever purchased. Easy to use, makes chasing down single outlets on 3pole commercial circuits fast and accurate. Currently updating as-builds in a commercial building and this tool has saved hundreds of man hours trying to chase down over 30 panels. I wish I would have bought it sooner. One thing to note, it eats batteries so make sure you have plenty on hand while working with the unit.

I bought this to chase wires in a home done wrong,It worked beyond what I thought it could do, chased 12/2 from outside finished garage through house to back wall 50 ft. walking good 80 ft. of wire (why put these switches here, I thought it was a joke at first) worked through 5/8 drywall no problem, circuit was dead so I jump the neutral from a cord with the attachment

This is the most accurate tracer Ive ever used. Well worth the price. Read the instructions and use as directed. It works.

Couldn’t pick up signal inside the wall. When it did it was erroneous as I couldn’t a tell the signal strength as it was erratic
