Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

This works just like it should. I dont have a hard time seeing the lights. It was a good price and gets the job done.

Works perfect

Works exactly as advertised. Great tool for the price!

good tool to check your plugs with even the pro,s make mistacks

Bought a house with a few bad and improperly grounded outlets, so this was very helpful in finding which to replace or repair. Several outlets were installed with the ground pin up, and this tester has the bottom labeled so this can be used in either direction without having to do mental gymnastics.

The unit seems to work well and identify troubled outlets and wiring issues but the test lights are not very bright to the naked eye and are even worse in a photograph. As a home inspector, this gets a lot of use but the photos dont turn out well. I have better luck with my outlet tester from Harbor Freight reading the test lights.

I like the different features and electrical checks instantly performed.

Not sure how accurate this really is. Plugged into an outlet that definitely was ungrounded and it didnt give the proper lighting config for that. Its a good first reference but I wouldnt rely on it solely.

What can I say, it does what is supposed to do. I recommend it. One problem only: The little printed or painted squares showing the result are super little so if you dont have 20/20 vision anymore you will need your glasses. For that Im giving it 4 stars.

With two work sites and two tool boxes, I decided to get another outlet tester. At $9 this Southwire is a good value these days. Easy to use - just plug it in. Two yellow/orange lights means good. Red or any other combination means something is wrong. However in daylight it can be difficult to see which orange/amber is lit.
