> 3 daywhile nowhere near as good as the more expensive pro-level ones, this one works well enough to map out the mystery fuse box in the basement. Mine had just a couple labels- and even those were wrong. Now I can swap outlets and lights without having to take out the power on the whole house. The build quality is light and it wont take abuse like a pro tool- but its amazingly inexpensive and works.

> 3 dayTwo functions in one product: Circuit breaker finder and GFCI tester. Fairly easy to use, but it does require some adjustments on the sensitivity using the adjusting knob on the scanner. Nine-volt battery is included, but not connected. Be careful when opening the battery cover as its tough to remove and will go flying if you are not tightly holding the cover and the rest of the scanner. Use gloves with a rubber grip for easier opening. A nice case with a zipper closure, but it could be improved with a label so one knows whats inside it. Since the case it black, its difficult to use a marker on it and the bumpy texture makes it hard for any white marker or adhesive-backed label to stick. Works well for plug-in / outlet circuits, but not for wall switches or screw-in outlets. Adapters for these sorts of outlets would be an excellent addition. Directions are well written but printed on very thin, flimsy, onion-skin paper. The paper is very easy to tear, and will be useless the first time it gets wet. I suggest taking an image of the directions, scanning them or both. Also, it would be nice if the vendor added a QR code on the scanner for use and care directions -- and used better quality paper. There is some sort of bar code on the scanner, but its not a QR code. Made in China. Reasonably well priced at about $28 at the time of our review.

> 3 dayThis works pretty well for identifying breakers on a circuit. In my case, I had to put the sensitivity at the lowest level and as others have reported, you have to hold the wand in a verical fashion. Having the GFCI / circuit tester is icing on the cake. My second Uni-T product, both well made. I only wish this unit used double or triple-A batteries instead of a 9v battery. Still a 5-Star item.

> 3 dayI own lots of these, and I am always ringing out wires... if you read bad reviews, well, that will happen with these products... mainly because, they are very unique, tempermental, and each brand has its own personality. for the newb, it can seem like, its too hard to trace, but with some trial n errror, u learn what works. how? test on a circuit you know both ends... be sure to pick one in the middle of the breaker panel find a way to test, so it works, adj. sensitivity, distance, speed, etc. once you perfect one that works, u can then move on to the mystery circuits... overall, for the receptacle gfi tester, and the tracer, this is an amazing value, and it works! recommended! 4.5 stars

22-11-2024The accuracy was a little questionable. It was lighting up on more than 1 breaker so it was difficult to tell which breaker it was. My dad brought his Klein and it worked flawlessly. This tool is fine if you are good with approximate. Ill be returning unfortunately.
