Type of review

Batteries are included for need but need to be replaced. branches in new locations. This happens twice a year, but during the 2019-2021 pandemic. I will not leave batteries installed, which I do for my SHURE wireless microphones and auxiliary mixers. I lost my Maglite because the batteries in the case leaked and expanded. I won't do that again. Batteries give an excellent idea of electricity. But they are overkill for the average user.

Best Socket Tester

We are RV enthusiasts and have a wide range of electrical test tools. We've always relied on those mostly yellow three-LED socket testers, but this new Klein RT250 socket tester is completely outdated. Recommend that every home should have one of the RT250. We have a few and we gave them away. The display explains in words if there is a problem and the red/green light is on. The display even stays on for a while after the device is unplugged, so you can see the results when the plug is out of…

Designed best in testers

Everything is well thought out here. Backlight - it annoys me when manufacturers make a dark LCD display without a backlight. Thanks to Klein for the backlight, and nice. Good indicators - EASY to distinguish between red and green, and I have red-green deficiency (deuteranomaly). Quite a percentage of guys have it, so it's nice that the indicators are made that way. A captive screw on the battery door - you'll be surprised how many don't have one, and goodbye door screw. Easy to use - no…

  • Everything is great!
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Thing is so damn cool

Wow this tester is amazing. It does a lot more than other GFCI testers but only costs a few dollars more. So there are too many important points to talk about. First, it's easier to use red light than green light, that's all. There is no combination of light to understand. 2 built in voltmeter which is pretty accurate compared to my buddy's meter. 3 It can relieve tension and prevent shock only in hot situations. Other GFCI testers do not warn you of a hot situation. Gfci tester works better. I

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • I will add later

Perfect for what it is

I bought this to fix an outlet that reset the alarm every time the fan came on. This helped me diagnose the problem quickly and easily. According to this device, every time the switch next to it was flipped to the on position, the voltage dropped from 120 volts to around 60 volts, which is information you just can't get without one of them. I was able to test all of the other outlets before and after this problematic outlet and saw that everyone else was reading fine. He also diagnosed a cable…
