Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

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.

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.

Easy to use

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

Got it for home inspection and it worked as expected.

Working

Works exactly as it should. Recommended.

This little tester is great for testing any socket for correct wiring and tests correct wiring for gfi circuits. Well worth the money.

I like everything

Lights up to identify any electrical issues. Great tester!!
