RIQINXIN Socket Tester Electrical Receptacle Tester AC Outlet Plug 3 Prong Circuit Tester Pack of 1

If you do any kind of electrical work, you must have one of these. The professional use them so if youre a home DIYer, you should too. Its invaluable to let you know if youve done the wiring work correctly or if youre trying to track down a problem. Like me, I just bought a house and used this to find that whoever had been doing work on the electrical here, didnt know what they were doing. I was able to track down some issues and correct them before a fire started or someone was electrocuted. Always keep one of these in your tool box.

This tester is a must have for any homeowner. Dont rely solely on a NCV tester when dealing with outlets. This will let you know at a glance if your outlet has power and whether its wired correctly. This is as basic as you can get for an outlet tester but most of the time thats all you need. It doesnt have a GFCI test rip button (although it will test a GFCI outlet just fine). Ive had one of these in my toolbox for many years. Recently the ground prong broke loose so it was time to get a new one. This one did the trick.

Theres no simpler way to check an outlet than what this device. Its quality made super super super easy to use. And I believe you come in handy for many years.

Its a down and dirty little outlet tester. It does the job at a great price. I am happy with the purchase.

The first one I got was defective. It kept saying that my neutral was open which I know was incorrect and I even went through the trouble of verifying the house wiring. So I think it was just a dead bulb in the tester, or some similar defect. I sent it back and got a good working one. You can see in the picture how the Klein tester shows that there are no issues with the outlet while this product indicate that there is an open neutral. Quality Issues is not what you want on equipment you use for testing, so my recommendation is to just pay a little more for a well know brand one like Klein.

What it wont do is tell you why there isnt power to an outlet other than bad connections or grounding. I guess I need a miracle or an electrician to track down the issue.

Accurate and works well!

Ive had similar devices like this in the past and this works just like them. There are 3 lights and based on which lights come on when you plug it in you can tell if your outlet is wired correctly. Its a great tool for a quick check. This one works well and I seems to work well.

I have no baseline for various faults in my outlets. It seems to light up when you plug it in, but I am not sure about the accuracy. It is also a bit flimsy for tighter outlets and I’m concerned it will break.

It works as intended; very reliable device and useful. I tested it in different wall outlets or even in my solar panel system outlets, and this device lets me know if there ground is wrong or any other error. This is something everybody needs to have. No grounded outlet is a real danger. Excellent product.
