5 Electrical Tools Every Homeowner Should Own

What happens here

The final tool demonstrated is the Klein Tools digital circuit breaker finder. This tool comes with a transmitter and a receiver. Plug the transmitter into the outlet you wish to identify the breaker for. Go to the breaker panel, turn on the receiver, and allow it to 'learn' the panel by running it along the breakers. The receiver will beep and light up when it identifies the correct breaker for the circuit connected to the transmitter. The presenter demonstrates killing and restoring power to the outlet using the identified breaker.

Goal: Locate the correct circuit breaker for an outlet
