The nice electricians that replace the knob and tube in my house

What can I use to identify the circuits for the baseboard heaters and
plugs and light?
You can always use the tried and true "Jesus Method".
A pair of jumper wires with a plug on one end and a
bit of insulation stripped from each wire. You plug
it in to an outlet, turn your face away to avoid the
bright flash and touch the bare wires together whilst
shouting JESUS! Then go find the tripped breaker. As
a plus, it also tests the breakers.

I like to use two Craftsman screwdrivers, then take 'em back with melted
tips and claim that they didn't perform to my expectations.

That's "The Devil Made Me Do It Method".
