Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

Works as it should, I highly recommend!

So having just replaced a flaky since we moved in over 20 years ago gfci receptacle in the garage (due to loose wire, but also it turns out due to the top plug-in failed when the plug was plugged all the way in), I wanted to be sure everything is now okey-dokey out there. And it is (checked all the plugs inside the garage and outside). Before that I had also tested all the plugs in the master bathroom (aok) and in the kitchen (aok). Also unfortunately I had tested the guest bathroom plugs. It turns out the only (2-plug) receptacle in there did ground fault when tested, but there is no reset button… so now there are no usable plugs in the guest bathroom. At least the lights and fan in there still work. And in this adjacent bedroom I am in, which shares the same circuit breaker, or so I thought. Hmm… where oh where is the reset button (or breaker (nothing looks amiss in the breaker box))? Edit: Following up, I found out that the guest bathroom and the master bathroom (and all the houses exterior plugs) are all tied to the one gfci plug set in the master bathroom. Also figured out what the two kitchen gfci plug sets were tied to circuit breaker wise, and which other plugs went with which gfci plug (not all of the kitchen plugs it turns out are tied to either of the two gfci plugs). So my mapping of all the plugs and light switches for the entire house is now (even more) complete, helped along by knowing which ones are protected from ground faults and which are not. Great investment. I feel a lot safer.

Easy to use...

Works exactly as advertised. Great tool for the price!

Does its job. Great price

Works the same as they always do and did, including the flaw that wont correctly identify a dangerous condition. Look up reverse polarity bootleg and youll see what Im talking about.

Does what’s advertised I gave four stars because the leds are on the dim side really have to look hard to see them on

My husband is an electrical foreman. An inspector walked off with his. He needed to replace it and was very surprised with the quality of this when it arrived.

I was happy with the outlet tester. I had 3 outlets with out power and it helped me find the problem, a GFI outlet was tripped. Great Tool... Alex.

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.
