Effective but confusing

I received a Mastercraft Circuit Breaker Tracer and GFCI Tester (120V) free from @thisisbutterly and was asked to try it and write my opinion on it.. To be honest, I had no idea what this tool was made for or what it did. After spending some time googling, I discovered that it is used to identify which circuit breaker controls a specific outlet. This tool turned out to be very helpful, as my electrical box was never properly labelled, so it was always a guessing game which switch controlled which area.

The Mastercraft Circuit Breaker Tracer and GFCI Tester includes two pieces. (It requires a 9V battery, which is conveniently included in the package). One plugs into a wall outlet, and the other is a handheld receiver that scans the circuit breakers until it identifies the correct switch. Once I understood how it worked, I found it to be very helpful as it saved me time and effort that I would have spent flipping switches and running back and forth between rooms.

The Mastercraft Circuit Breaker Tracer and GFCI Tester also includes a GFCI outlet tester which is supposed to help detect basic wiring issues (however I never figured out how this would work)..

Although the instructions could be more beginner-friendly, especially for someone who is not familiar with electrical work, the device itself works well once you get the hang of it. If you are a homeowner or someone looking to better understand your electrical panel, this tool could be a very practical addition to your toolbox.
