Diagram is difficult to read: Electrical

The diagram showing the electrical circuit status was small and difficult to read. A separate card with larger font is required to make it easier to determine the condition of the circuit.

Pros
  • Satisfied for now
Cons
  • Not sure

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good and used by testers

This new one replaces the one I had for years. An essential tool for the DIY enthusiast and for those who want to ensure that the neutral and hot wires are properly connected in the proposed connector.

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

This is the best tester. Easier to read than the UK mark

I was already fairly familiar with this tester but couldn't find mine so bought 3 to have an extra. One didn't work properly, but it says it's non-refundable, which I find odd.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Reliable

Unreliable - Ground sticks in outlet.

I tested a total of 20 sockets with this when the foundation was laid and the device was divided into two parts. The floor kept sticking to the sockets and it wasn't a problem because it still went in and out and worked fine. By the 20th, however, the bottom was stuck.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Minor repairability

Works as expected and the test button works

This is a bit more than a standard socket tester as it also tests the GFCI - push the little red button and the fuse on the GFCI socket should open a powered outlet until you reset it. Note. The description says "with GFI reset" but that is incorrect, there is no way to reset the GFCI with this plug in tester, you have to press the reset button on the socket itself.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Some issues

Great socket tester.

Bought several and always plugged into specific outlets. Various GFCI wall faucets turn off the faucet. I've read that older devices are the likely cause. My current GFCI devices are legacy devices and have no visual indicator when powered off. Install a new 15A GFCI in the garage where the freezer and second fridge are located. The electricity goes out at irregular intervals.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not the best

The grounding plug broke after testing the 3rd outlet

The grounding plug on this tester came loose (broken) after the tester was used on about 3 outlets. It's bad design if the grounding plug breaks so easily. Apparently I'm not the only person this has happened to. To make matters worse, Revain wouldn't let me return the defective tester. Shame on Revain for not endorsing the products they sell. The Revain website states that if the product is defective, it can be replaced or returned, which is an absolute lie.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some troubles

Great rest for the money!

Bought to check the outlets in my living room to make sure they are all plugged in properly before installing my new flat screen TV and surround sound system. I've since checked all the outlets in my house and found the one that wasn't wired properly. It worked as it should and I love the fact that the lights can be seen from either side or straight on and that there is a label on either side that tells you what the different lights mean. Contrary to some reviews, I think the build seems pretty

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick guide
