Review on Ultimate Protection: Tamper Resistant Weather Resistant Receptacle Indicator by Devin Girard

Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works great if you know how to use it.

In short, I agree with NealOh. I personally do NOT like wrapping wires around screw terminals. I prefer slots on the back of the outlet for two reasons. First, it's easier to protect. The second reason is that there is no bare wire on the side of the socket that could potentially contact another wire (eg I dare say it's safer to boot. I also agree with Neil Oh if you not sure what you are doing get help.It is not impossible to wire one of these incorrectly and then the GFCI wins.t provide the protection it is supposed to provide.I've done this myself before.You need to understand the difference between a line and a load cord. Also, if the GFCI is at the front of the circuit, then each outlet downstream is protected by that GFCI, but ONLY if the GFCI is the first outlet in service. If you don't understand what that means then either ask someone or do what I did many years ago and get some self help books on basic home and wiring Getting my electronics degree made me an accomplished amateur electrician. I wouldn't claim to be a licensed electrician but I do all electrical work in my own home and I have also helped people with electrical work. I evaluated GFCI outlets at my local hardware store. and the cheapest were still twice as expensive as these. I've only had it for a few days so can't comment on the quality but so far so good. In short, I would recommend and buy again.
