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

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.

The lights are red and amber therefore the label should be the same but the amber part is yellow and that washes out under fluorescent light and I can hardly see what it is with my old eyes. But under either led lights here I can make out the yellow. If they used amber ink then it would be no problem. I will have to mark it with a sharpie while I can still make it out before it fades more. This is an exact copy of a 30+ year old one I have around here somewhere, but cannot find right now, except for the label. On the older one they used amber ink. 2 ambers good, anything else something wrong. I only tried 2 of the combinations and they worked. Every homeowner or handy person should have one of these.

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.

Seems to work well enough, but something is inside the casing and it rattles when you shake it. Call me old fashioned, but I dont like loose things inside my electrical equipment. Not sure Im totally comfortable using this on the regular.
