I purchased this same device and it works really well about 99% of the time. Follow the instructions on resetting, calibrating, and scanning. Sometimes it will indicate two adjacent breakers as correct so it takes a little patience when that happens. The end that plugs into the outlet is also handy in itself because it tells you if outlet is wired correctly. If you plan on re-labeling an entire breaker box, work with someone else. Saves time going back and forth. The accessory kit is about $15 and well worth the investment. As mentioned in the video, I have only used the light socket attachment but it's good to have the others just in case. The tool is built well and feels rugged but as with any device like this, dropping it is not advised. You may also want to invest in a little bag to store all the components when not in use. I spent a few bucks on a pencil holder bag at the office supply store. It just barely holds the components but also has 3 binder holes that makes it easy to hang up on a hook.
I bought one of these to trace circuits when I was rewiring a good portion of our house. As long as it was calibrated I had no issues, it work the first time, every time. Saved a lot of time and energy running up and down the stairs. Of course I had a helper.
how do you find the circuit for a sealed LED ceiling light? Or for a wire in the wall that you don't know where it goes to? I was going to buy one of these things only to find out its usefulness is rather limited. More and more lights now are sealed LEDs.
The led light fixture should have a wall switch. If so you open the switch and the use the pig tail to clip on your side screws then plug the toner into that. If you unsure ALWAYS HIRE A PROFESSIONAL. As for a wire if there’s no power on it you won’t be able to use this unit. IT NEEDS POWER TO OPERATE.
Just to clarify, when testing a socket, I assume that switch operating that socket has to be switched "ON". Otherwise there would not be power provided to the sender unit and signal would not be sent.
Does the signal work ok in houses that are large or when the circuit that you're testing is way down in a concrete basement or very far from the panel ? Ever experienced any interferences with other appliances like Wifi?
I just used this now and I just found out at least one circuit was labeled wrong in the panel. Now, I'm going to have to go through the house and confirm which switches, outlets and fixtures belong to which circuit breaker. I have Thoma Electric, Inc to thank for this. They are the ones who installed the panel or at the very least made the markings in the panel.
chris gast Good luck have someone upstairs while you stay at the circuit breaker and you can communicate back-and-forth if not just do one at a time. Thanks for watching catch you on the next one
Are you looking to trace out hardwired smoke detectors? Or a fire alarm panel? If smoke detectors most of the time they are wired to different circuits thru out the location using lights or existing plugs. The only way is to turn off each breaker at a time to find out. If it’s the fire alarm panel you should be able to locate a small conduit entering your panel or it should have a dedicated AFCI circuit. I RECOMMEND YOU HIRE A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE IF YOUR NOT SURE. NEVER ATTEMPT TO WORK IN YOUR ELECTRICAL PANEL! Good luck
@@HighRidgeHandyman Oh man! thanks for responding. I did not expect it. I am looking to trace out hardwired smoke detectors. I switched off all circuit breakers but when I bring the tester in proximity of the wires, the tester still beeps. Not sure what is going on
Is it a good idea to turn off the breaker and calibrate/tone all the breakers a second time to be certain? Plus can the toner(plug device) not lighting up after switching the breaker off that you detected also a value check and balance?
I can confirm this for others that might read this. Turning off the breaker __will__ help you determine with greater certainty that you found the correct breaker. Also the toner not lighting up while still plugged into the receptacle outlet while the correct breaker is turned off is also a good check.
You need voltage to find the tone. You do not have to turn off breakers to calibrate. When you do find the right breaker and you go back to your plug and find the light out you know that you turned off the right breaker. That’s how it works.
I have one, still in the package. Some outlets in my apartment are ungrounded. Can I use the Klein Transmitter with a regular grounding adapter (not the one you buy with the kit)?
@@HighRidgeHandyman thanks, that worked. However apparently a direct contact is needed for the Integrity check, which was not of primary interest at this stage.
I was considering plugging in an old BOOM BOX with volume on full blast. Turning off breakers until the music stops. This may be a bit more high tech, I will go with the Circuit Detective from Harbor Freight. Not sure I will ever use this device again once everything is labeled, worth it not to go flipping breakers. I'd like to send out a big GFY to the electricians that wrote "LTS" or "APL" on every last breaker with no location!
As long as there’s power on the line you should be able to pick up the tone on the actual wire either in a wall or through an attic space definitely back at the circuit breaker. Let me know if it works out for you thanks for watching. Be careful take care
You actually need voltage from the plug or light socket when you’re using this particular tool. You might want to look into other toning devices that have their own voltage almost like a tone generator for low-voltage that might work.
This is great for outlets, but I have a switch to a garbage disposal next to a GFCI outlet. I turned off the GFCI Breaker and the disposal circuit, but I still have a HOT line running to the disposal switch and I can't find out which breaker controls that HOT line/wire. How can I find out which breaker with this tool?
You can us the pigtail if you know how to connect to live wire. If not experience then DO NOT TRY IT! Two other options you can do. One shut down the main house Breaker or two hire a licensed electrician to complete repair. Either way good luck👍🏻

i'm guessing this tool won't work if the outlet tester doesn't read anything, and if thats the case is the outlet shot, wire came off? i notice the light switch closest to that outlet is not working either
Unfortunately with this tool you do need power. If you do not have power to begin with and your not experienced in electrical I’d advise you contact a licensed electrician to complete repair👍🏻

Is that proper use of the term "pigtail"? Those two leads are not being spliced together (that would caused a short circuit), so it wouldn't really be a pigtail from my understanding.
It is a pigtail until you plug in the toner closing the circuit. That’s how the toning devise works. When you use the clips on the hot/Neutral and you plug in the device it completes the circuit to function.

Michale Sims not sure but try to pick up the tone by touching a few wires in the attic. It uses the wire to get to the circuit panel. It might work. Good luck and be careful.👍🏻
But what if the circuit is dead and you're trying to find out which circuit breaker controls that circuit so you can safely work on it,i.e. maybe replace the outlet or whatever.
Great idea. I'll be marking the back of my face plates to correspond to the breaker #. It'll cut out some time next time. I usually relabel the breaker correctly too.
Ryobi has one.. Smaller "one piece" .. You just plug it in and push the button.. The circuit will flipped off automatically... No need to go down to look for...
Sometimes you wanna find a circuit breaker without actually turning it off at that very moment. Like figuring out if your PC/router/fridge is on a circuit breaker so you can make preparations before you actually go turning the power off.
@@HighRidgeHandyman have you used the ideal circuit finder it detects hot wires but design isn't that great was wondering if it's worth buying or just get a separate hot wire detector
Okay so, you're telling me home inspectors to purchase a home are lazy jerks. Not cool. We needed this. The inspector did a half ass job and couldn't complete his inspection because nothing was labeled.
I’m not sticking up for home inspectors because trust me I’ve had my fair share of losers! But it isn’t his responsibility or hers to make sure things are labeled. That’s the responsibility of the previous homeowner and or electrician who did the work. This tool is excellent and highly recommend if you tracing out and labeling your panel. BTW I love Lisa Marie cool name! Elvis was one of my favorites. Good luck with your new home!
@@HighRidgeHandyman How can they properly inspect and why wouldn't the home owner be made to label things right before selling the house? I know you can't answer that, it's just aggravating. Thanks, my mom gave me my name lol.
this thing was great, but today, it suddenly stopping sensing! i was successfully testing all the outlets in the house with this thing last week. all green, all the time. yes, i try this re-calibration. i can do it all day long and it will not work right. has this happened to anyone else?
Don't really understand why you wouldn't have just opened up the accessories kit for the tool unless you are just not keeping it but it would have been better to see everything in the kit better.🙂👍✌
I keep all my tolls👍🏻I’m not that Home Depot shopper who uses an item and seals it back up and returns it like a deadbeat! It’s pretty self-explanatory though!. good luck!!
Is it my unit, or does anyone's tester spontaneously come on for no reason...? I just used it, and it worked great, yet has come on several times over the last 24 hrs....
I never had that happen to me. If you have it in a tool pouch the button might be pushed? If not maybe the battery is on its way out? If non-for both I would return it. Good luck
More than likely you won’t need a licensed electrician to tone out a circuit breaker. Running wire working out of the panel yes! But to trace out a breaker with this device no.
I had to give you a thumbs down because you didn't use the addictional tool that comes as a additional tool to the Circuit Breaker. Showing me the package means nothing. It's like me going to Home Depot and seeing it myself. You should of use it.
If you needed me to show you how to screw in an adapter to a light socket and attach the toner device to it then you shouldn’t be doing electrical in the first place. But thanks for watching nonetheless
