First, this circuit breaker finder has saved me an immense amount of time, and, lets me work with electrical wiring without a second person flipping the breaker as I shout back (or call on my cell phone). However, it didn't always pinpoint the breaker but would sound off as it was moved close to it. So you end up knowing it's one of two or three breakers that switch the targeted line. But that alone has saved me a lot of time. I recommend always doing a test on the line indicated before you begin to splice and attach any hot wires.

At first, I bypassed the directions/instructions. Finding the right breaker was a total fail. I put it in a tool drawer. It sat for a couple of months or more.The other day, I decided to try again. Downloaded the directions on the Internet. Followed them precisely. GUESS WHAT! The circuit breaker worked flawlessly!I do recommend this tool. It's great for finding the right circuit breaker to deenergize before changing a wall outlet or switch with no arcing and sparking. (I hate the arcing and sparking). Just read the directions first. It'll save a lot of frustration.

Why don't electricians mark circuit breakers? Is it really that hard? I don't know; maybe they leave them unmarked intentionally hoping that you'll call them everytime you want to replace a light switch.I had a lot of light switches to swap out for smart switches. I really didn't want to shut the power off at the main breaker, because it takes forever for my router to resync, and sometimes it won't reconnect to the internet for hours. I ordered this with the intention of getting all my breakers marked.Operation is pretty simple. You plug the transmitter device into a power outlet and take the probe to your circuit breaker box. You run the probe along the breakers and it lets you know which one is controlling the circuit your transmitter is plugged into. There is also an adaptor that lets you screw the transmitter into a light bulb socket. It took me about 2 hours to get all my breakers identified, but it was well worth the time.

Quality tool that helps to get the job done quickly

Expensive but worth price. Old days. I used to plug big radio and turn of one breaker at a time. Now. This save so much time
