Amazon.com Product Description
The GB Ground Fault Receptacle Tester and Circuit Analyzer tests ground fault receptacles by overloading circuits and tripping GFCIs. Designed for ease of use, the user needs to simply plug the tester into any circuit protected by a ground fault receptacle (110-125 Volts AC), and press the black button to overload circuit. The tester tests for seven conditions including ground fault interruption, open ground, open neutral, open hot, hot/ground reverse, hot/neutral reverse, and correct wiring. An easy to read succession of yellow and red lights provides indication of circuit status or specifies wiring errors. Easy to read from multiple vantage points--top, side, and bottom--the tester is an ideal choice for personal or professional use. The tester comes with a 1-year limited manufacture's warranty.

Customer Reviews

Electrician's Mate
This tester takes the guess work out of installing house wiring. It helps me check my work and diagnose problems with existing wiring. I like the simple "light up" indicators with the explaination marked right on the tester. That pinpoints any problems immediately, and it hasn't been wrong yet. Saves great amounts of time and agrivation. Thanks, Amazon!

correction
i would just like to correct the description of this product in that it does not overload the circuit to test a gfci receptacle. Overloading the circuit would trip the overcurrent protection device (i.e. circuit breaker). A gfci does not provide overcurrent protection, it provides protection against ground faults... and that is what this tester would do to test a gcfi; insinuate a ground fault to test the ground fault protection.

Handiest Circuit tester I've used
I do apartment make ready/maintaince work so ease of use is important. The best thing is the instant feedback I get from it. I know where to go to correct the problem, if there is one. Safety is also important because of the danger of electrical shock hazards associated with electrical outlets in bathrooms. I highly recommend this tool to both the pro and do-it-yourselfers. IT IS A MUST HAVE TOOL WITH ME.
