Good demonstration! The “open ground” is because your alligator clips were only connected to hot and neutral. If the plug adapter had 3 clips it would most likely show “wired correctly” but since the tracer is following the hot back to the breaker you don’t need an alligator clip on the ground 👍🏽⚡️
It's the same thing with the cheater adapters you used in the lamp. The screw in adapter doesn't have a ground on it so the tester will always show open ground.
I noticed for your lightbulb demo you held it up or horizontal. That’s because it unplugs itself with its own weight when held upside down like you would use it in practically every lightbulb source... My solution to this was bend the connectors inwards but that still barely helps. Was curious if you were gonna mention this or not
How do you trace for a light switch? I want to update a bunch old light switches in my house, but not sure how to trace those back to the breaker. Looks like I might have to do what you did with the smoke alarm wires?
I bought a Klein breaker/circuit detector which continually tells me one breaker is indicated as the only breaker serving my house. I have turned off the breaker and the circuit which should be off isn't. Should I return the Klein detector or can someone direct me as to what to do?

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation 👍

Wow, this is exactly what I needed! Your video was clear and direct and will be a huge time saver, thank you!
Love the videos man. Your videos have helped me quite a bit in my budding maintenance career. Appreciate ya bud.
Thank you 🙏
One of the first things i bought when i got my house three years ago, helped a ton!
Definitely a great tool!
Thanks, Dave excellent info.
You came a long way congratulations to your new home 🏡 keep the videos coming also I honestly enjoy your teaching
Thanks buddy!
Thank you for your video. Great job. 👏
Thank you for the video. Now I know how this thing works.
Great job thank you
The light attachment would be helpful for those ceiling lights when you don't know what breaker they are on.. Good Video
I got an upgraded panel, and some singles were traded for minis that share a neutral. So they are tied together. I drives my tester nuts.
thank you - great video
Very helpful.
Thanks for your useful video..!
thank you
Hope you find those 2 mystery breakers! Good video. I got that same tool. Works great! None of our circuit breakers at my job are labeled...
Thanks Benjamin! The breaker tracer definitely comes in handy!
Hey dave i rewatched this video and im thinking those missing breakers are just spares. I would take the panel off and see
Very helpful

Buen trabajo

Nice video. You look like Billy Bob Thornton to me. :)
Thanks, I’ve heard that Billy Bob looks like me too 😊
What’s the difference between the Klein ET310 and the RT250 testers, do you need both? Thanks
How electrical panel can be in open place?

Whatever the switch turns on, you can test that, whether it's an outlet or a light fixture. Good luck!
Will it work on a 208-240v circuit?
How much you think is good price to labeled 130 breakers in a shopping center??
Why does the Klein transmitter indicate correct wiring(2 orange lights are on) but the receptacle does not function?
