Southwire 40022S Receptacle Tester; Black

The unit seems to work well and identify troubled outlets and wiring issues but the test lights are not very bright to the naked eye and are even worse in a photograph. As a home inspector, this gets a lot of use but the photos dont turn out well. I have better luck with my outlet tester from Harbor Freight reading the test lights.

Easy to use and fool proof design. Made it simple to check all the outlets for a new house the we purchased. Actually was able to find several outlets that were wired incorrectly and able to get seller to repair then before the closing on our pre closing inspection.

This outlet tester functions much like those you can buy at Loews or Home Depot. What sets this one apart is the convenient GFCI test button. And at a price equal to those sold without that feature.

Works properly.

What can I say, it does what is supposed to do. I recommend it. One problem only: The little printed or painted squares showing the result are super little so if you dont have 20/20 vision anymore you will need your glasses. For that Im giving it 4 stars.

This is a good tester aside from the fact some readings may give false positives. It told me i had hot/ground reverse when i really had a missing neutral.

Awesome tool. We have been struggling with our electrical outlets working and nit working. With this tool you can check your plug outlets know if they are wired right or not. It sure has saved us a lot of time.

Not sturdy, the prongs break very easily... especially the ground

Works great handle is a bit flimsy but overall a great product.

We give them away as prizes at work and everyone love them.
