I've got a Sperry CS-500A that is essentially useless. It is never able

Would appreciate recommendations for a better tool, if one exists. The
budget is ~$100.

Thanks!

i just plug a radio into the outlet or lamp i want to kill, and turn
off breakers till i find the one I want,

for safety I intentially short any device before touching it just in
case

That is not a good idea for hospital work.


We use a Greenlee circuit tracer at work. The trick, I learned, was
to hold the sensor parallel to the buss.

To be really sure, after we locate the breaker, we have an apprentice
plug a drill in the circuit and cycle the trigger. You can see the
pulse with an amprobe.
