Money well spent, good for electrics

Works well with Klein et300. I had to figure out what circuitry was in some of the overhead lights to replace some lights and I couldn't turn off every switch until I figured it out. I also renamed my panel as the previous person did a very poor job.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some little things

Be careful with this purchase!

Supplied with alligator clips and a bulb holder. There is no adapter block with three pins for using the circuit breaker finder. A little disappointing. And the adapter with three pins on the alligator clips does not fit the circuit breaker finder. The ground pin plug is too close to two prongs and damaged the circuit breaker locator when I tried to plug it in.

Pros
  • Plenty of positive emotions
Cons
  • Easy maintenance

Nice addition to my circuit breaker finder

I bought these to map my electrical box in the house I bought. Worked great with a different brand switch finder. Note that the lamp adapter has only 2 pins. So if your device has a 3 pin transmitter you will need a 2 to 3 pin adapter. The alligator clip part has 3 prongs, so you don't have to worry about this part.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Circuit Breaker Finder Necessary Addon

My daughter had some electrical problems and I bought this along with "KlienTools Circuit Breaker Finder” to help her solve the problem. I could probably do it myself without these new tools BUT I wanted her to be able to troubleshoot and repair electrical problems on my own. Along with a non-contact voltage meter (Chicken Stick), she had all the tools she needed to get the job done safely.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Boring Package

The perfect addition to your chain tracking tool.

Since I needed to trace several circuits in our house and the breaker box never showed up on the map, I bought a Klein circuit tracing tool. It did a great job for the outlets, but I also had to keep track of some light switches and overhead lights. This little toolbox is just what I need and works great with the Klein tool. The price is reasonable and each of the parts is solid and complements my circuit tracing kit. Alligator clips are not light, but they are very strong. This is a great kit.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Great must-have accessory

Electricity is used in our house. I bought it to shorten the up and down stairs to the basement. That's incredible! In an early 1940's home, wiring is a nightmare. Now we know which switch all outlets, lights, and ceiling fans are connected to. We also tracked down a couple of junction boxes that didn't seem to go away, but found where. This allowed us to label each switch accurately, now the electrician has a card to work with. Hope it makes more sense. Highly recommend this accessory when…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Unbelievable price

Light adapter not working (even with 2 to 3 pin adapter)

I bought this to test some overhead lighting circuits. The adapter for the lamp does not work with the small tester. As many have noted, this is a 2-pin adapter only, meaning you'll need to add your own 2-pin to 3-pin adapter as well. That's bad, but even with one it doesn't work. I'm not sure why, but Klein never registers the power and so can't track the circuit. I'm giving 2 stars instead of 1 because the wired adapter works. Of course I could do this myself with a few wires in about a…

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Mandatory for every switch finder.

This is a much needed upgrade for any switch finder. The added versatility of these adapters makes the tool much more valuable to me. The alligator clips are solid and everything feels well constructed. The only thing I would change is to add a ground connection to the lamp socket. Unfortunately, this appears to violate UL listing standards, so I felt it unwise to deduct a star for this issue. I did, however, purchase a grounding adapter for about a dollar from Home Depot (picture attached)…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Mostly good but...
