Southwire Circuit Breaker Finder Kit - Quickly Identifies Correct Breaker Without Power Disruption - UL Listed, 120V Compatibility, Transmitter &

The Southwire Circuit Breaker, Finder 41210S is an effective tool for locating the circuit breaker that controls a specific outlet. It is easy to use and can save time when trying to identify the correct breaker in a circuit panel. However, it does have limitations and may not be 100% accurate in all cases. The device requires a battery for the handheld receiver, which can be easily changed without any tools. The emitter is powered by the electrical current when it is plugged into the circuit. It is important to note that the device will only work if the upper plug of a two-plug outlet is controlled by a wall switch, which must be turned on. The circuit breaker finder can be used for light switches with the help of an accessory kit that includes alligator clips or a light bulb base adapter. However, this kit is sold separately and is not included with the product. While the circuit breaker finder can give a clue about other outlets on the same circuit, it may not work well with GFCI protected circuits or if trying to trace through a sub panel. It is essential that the circuit being traced is live for the device to work. Unfortunately, this particular model does not work with 220 volts, and it cannot be used to locate the wire itself in the attic. Some customers have found difficulty in differentiating between the correct breaker and an adjacent breaker, making it less accurate in identifying the exact breaker. In terms of customer reviews, opinions are mixed. Some customers find the circuit breaker finder to be a great tool that is easy to use and effective in locating the correct circuit breaker. Others have had less success and feel that the device is not worth the money, suggesting alternative methods such as using a cheap pigtail with alligator clips. Despite its limitations, for those who frequently need to locate circuit breakers, the Southwire Circuit Breaker, Finder 41210S can be a helpful tool, although it may not be Considered essential.
