Excellent explanations of the testers abilities along with visual examples for faulty and proper wiring configurations. This tester being a stand-alone and not relying on the outlet power for functionality is a great safety feature and eliminates the dreaded 'I'm not sure scenario'. Video's like this eliminate doubt. You've finalized my decision for an outlet tester.....Thank You Jim.
Your welcome. This would be my choice of testers.
@@JimMcLaren1950......wonder if there is a multi-meter that has the GFCI and arc fault detection test function?
Because of your video and this little tool, I learned that all of my (old) outlets are open-ground and need to be replaced with GFCI outlets until I can get the house rewired. Subscribed.
Thank you.🤝
Your welcome. Thanks very much for subscribing. Glad my video helped.
Great video and easy to understand with the different wiring scenarios he went through. Two thumbs way up.
Thank you Patrick.
Very good video! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Thank you Lee. Your welcome.
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Your welcome.
Good video. At 9:42 in the video, you really should have used a GFCI receptacle instead of a regular receptacle as the GFCI will protect you from a ground fault until you can fix the ground situation in the attic.
Thanks for posting. Good idea using GFCI until I get the ground wire in the attic.
If you only had one of those utility knives to cut the package open... : ) Good review as usual Mr. McLaren..
Thank you. I actually bought 2 Klein testers. I did open one with the Fiscars Pro utility knife but didn't cut inside the plastic enough had to recut so the scissors made a better video lol'
I like my tester. It works great 👍 it will show the voltage ⚡️ and if black and hot is reversed. The green light tells if it's correct
Very nice explaining thanks.
Thank you.
Awesome
Thank you.
Quite a handy tool. Will it show a bad contact with wire when, for example, there is some of the insulation got under the contact screw when the wire was stripped too short?
No it wont show that. It shows if its properly wired or not.
Aqui no brazil usamos o DR no quadro
My battery indicator had 1 bar so I changed battery's 2 new battrys installed and indicator has 1 bar battery's are strong 💪 wonder why battrey indicator don't have full bars?
Good
Thank you.
8/100 of second
10:50- .14 seconds is MUCH quicker than half a second. That's 14 hundredths of a second.
Everything is made in Chine. The workers and factory owners pay NONE of our SOCIAL SECURITY TAX. We purchase these non taxed items and ACTUALLY expect to receive a Social Security check.
comment please
Its complete garbage
Really? What do recommend? I'm a novice
Can you use this to trip breakers on regular outlets? Or will it only trip GFCI's?
Very good question. I just tested it out on regular circuut. Didnt trip breaker.
Only works on GFCI outlets.
@@JimMcLaren1950 thank you Soo much for confirming!! Hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!!
@@noggfresh Your welcome. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
No, it will not trip a regular circuit breaker, there is a tiny resistor in it to simulate a ground fault situation and will only trip on GFCI on that circuit. If you had a GFCI breaker in the electrical panel, then it would trip the GFCI
@@billhandymanbill2775 ohhhh that's good to know. Ty for that insight! I might just invest in Klein's AFCI/GFCI Outlet Tester (#RT310) instead.
