I have a similar problem, only GFI outlets are involved.
Can I use the fox and hound setup to find the problem with my wires?

I don't see why not but you want to make sure
the circuit is dead first.

Thanks Daring,

Looking up the tools to buy, it seems we have a choice of the following
electrical "tone and probe kits" for home use to trace why a half dozen of
my recepticles are dead.

Question 1: Is a "tone and probe kit" the right keyword to be looking for?

Question 2: If so, which of these I found googling is what we should use?
a) Triplett 3399 FOX 2/HOUND 3 KIT
b) Triplett 9650 BREAKER SNIFF-IT TYPE 2
c) Fluke PRO3000 Tone & Probe Kit
d) Fluke Pro2000 Tone & Probe
e) Core KE 501 Electric Tone & Probe Kit with 400V
f) Telecom Tools E100-0801 (801K) Tone & Probe Kit
g) Textron C100-2008 (2008) Power Finder Open Circuit Tracer
