Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just purchased the Klein ET300 this evening locally. I also purchased the optional circuit breaker kit that has 1)a screw-in bulb socket to two-prong outlet converter (Leviton) and 2)a pair of alligator clips wired to an outlet that you can connect the ET300's transmitter to for tracing from bare wires.
The device functioned as advertised. I plugged the transmitter into an outlet in the main bathroom on the second floor, then walked a few feet away to the upstairs laundry closet where the circuit breaker panel is. Scanned the panel slowly the first time, ignoring the beeps. Scanned the panel a second time, and it nailed the breaker right on.
This device is essentially identical to the Reliance Controls THP110. The only difference is that the THP110 does not have the protective rubber case that the Klein version of the tool has.
Cons: It's far too easy to turn the tool on because of the type and position of the power button. A sliding on/off switch on the tool face would have been a much better idea. In my opinion, the tool should come, or have an option to purchase, a case that would store the tool and the option kit, and also prevent the tool from being accidentally powered on. I'll either have to figure a way to protect the switch, or just remove the batteries when I am done using it, although that is a pain; you have to take off the rubber case and unscrew the battery compartment.
