Pros & Cons
Cons
This one is twice the price of the cheaper ideal 61-532 but is way more inaccurate. Perhaps it is because my house wiring is not grounded.
Highlights
Quality
Very pleased with this ideal circuit panel tracer product
I have just begun diy replacement of old standard breakers with afcigfci breakers when i bought this product
Before receiving it i often didn’t even bother with the hassle of identifying and shutting down a circuit
This is something some of the other tracers tell you to do and i did it with the other tracers but they still never worked accurately
Price
Well made fair price gives great peace of mind when working with electricity
This is a great product but now the price has jumped from when i bought it still better than the low cost ones
Packaging/appearance
It actually smells like something is burning on the inside like the smell of burnt plastic insulation
Competitiveness
Used in a commercial 115vac settingright every time
More accurate than other brands ive tried in the past
So ive gone through a couple other of the circuit tracerfinders extech and klein and nothing has been accurate
Maybe theyve fixed that with an improved model

Outlet must have power to work

People need to understand that the automatic feature on this requires an initial scan and may detect a number of breakers but one needs to repeat the pattern which will reduce the sensitivity on second pass and i have always gotten one correct beaker on 2nd pass

That being said i could see certain issues when plugging transmitter in to high quality surgenoise protectors or a ups which could theoretically block the signal but that would affect even the most expensive ones

Each time you power the receiver offon again it resets and you need to repeat the procedure
