Review on Power Gear Tester 110V 125V 50957 by Jacob Sampino

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Helps get a quick overview of a property

I work in the renovation industry and one of the biggest hurdles when evaluating the work on a property, especially an old one, is the cost of electricity. If the institution has Knob & Tube, we immediately know how to rate it. But some people over the years have replaced their two-pronged outlets with grounded outlets; except that there really is no mass on the box. And the same people often trade hot and neutral lines. Now I can go through the setup (usually empty) and test 90% of the outlets right away. Just last week we walked through a facility with 100% grounded outlets and only 2 of them were grounded. If we didn't notice this and found out the price of the repair without it, or worse, never had it checked, we'd run into it at the checkout and be forced to replace all the wiring on the spot. In minutes this little guy is saving me thousands.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Very expensive
