🔌 Sperry Instruments GFI6302 GFCI Outlet Tester, Standard 120V AC Receptacle, 7 Visual Indication & Wiring Legend, for Home & Professional Use, Yellow & Black Review

It never hurts to look it up. Homeowners often bite off more than they can chew. Not knowing what they are doing is not an obstacle. It's easy to mix up the wires. Wiring is assumed to be color coded. White goes to the larger square. Black moves to a smaller square. Bare copper goes to the third pin. It has to be reliable. For a sufficiently motivated fool with power tools, nothing is reliable. I checked the extension cord my wife would use. The previous owner missed the outlet. The socket was…

I see the top review complaining about poor lighting and inaccuracies, but I've had it for over a year with no problems. Honestly, if you can't see the light, you need to get your eyesight checked. I took 3 shots with different power sockets and lighting, the dark view looks like other lights might shine or something, but it's only in camera, it's very easy to see with the naked eye that only the middle light is switched on.

I thought I knew a lot about electricity (engineering university graduate). I make mistakes working with electricity at home. This small and inexpensive gadget is great. This has helped me detect any outlet that isn't plugged in properly. Before that, I check the outlets, including the ones I installed by plugging in a small lightbulb. If it is lit, the outlet is working. NOT RIGHT. This device detects outlet wiring problems even when the lightbulb turns on: 1) Neutral and hot swap (the one in…

I first saw how many reviews it has and how many stars it has and I thought it would be a good item to buy. I mean how can all those 1k ratings be wrong? When I first received 3 Sperry testers I was very excited. The size was perfect, compact and it doesn't block above or below the outlet you plug it into. They felt solid and the rubber moldings on the sides were a nice touch. I'm going to hook it up and a big disappointment. It was hard to tell which light was on. The small bulbs there are…

Inexpensive, simple, compact and easy to use. I love that the status bar legend is printed on both sides and reversed at the bottom. So if your outlet is installed upside down, you can easily see what the status lights mean. One issue I had and why I gave it one star is that they don't come with instructions in the box. Instead, they included a note stating that you must go to their website to download the instructions, which means you must go online and search their website to find the…

I've been using this little checker around the house for two years. It's a solid device, but so confusing it's hard to tell which lights are on. I thought it was because these bulbs are dim and also the bulb compartments are connected internally which allows the light to leak out to the next compartment and shine a little. After so much agony I finally decided to saw off the light box to see the bare bulbs. This would make the checker vulnerable to being dropped or hit by other tools in my…

This is a well built and functional tester. Not only does it feel durable, but it costs half what you can get at your local hardware store. Looking at the reviews on here, I'm really shocked that so many are complaining about "ambiguous reporting". Although perhaps better documented, dim lights themselves convey important information about the outlets you are testing. In many older homes, the ground is either disconnected or connected to a poor ground source, such as the ground. B. a screw that

I really like this device, now that I understand it I know what to expect from it. I deducted a star for the lack of on-board explanations of strange displays (displays that are not described). This is how I encountered reviews of luminous flux from one lamp to another that gave somewhat confusing readings. Here not only light penetrates through the plastic, the light bulbs burn there, but very weakly. Я переделал несколько розеток и в процессе узнал кое-что об этом устройстве: - Оно очень…
