I needed quite few GFCI outlets, simplex outlets, and 20A outlets for

Started checking around online and couldn't believe how cheap the

There website isn't the best in the world but if you download the pdf

My order totaled about $150 and when the shipping was added $159 was

Could you not have installed a couple of ground fault circuit breakers
or were too many circuits involved?

The breakers cost a lot more than outlets and the convenience of
having the reset right there was also a reason. *I wouldn't want to
run all the way down to the basement if SWMBO drops her curling iron
in the sink or if I lay my drill down in wet grass.

Another reason is that I'll bet most home inspector wouldn't be able
to comprehend how a standard outlet on a kitchen counter could be GFCI
protected if there is not a GFCI outlet nearby.

And in that you would be wrong. It is a basic part of any American
Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI) members training to use a shunt
tester to check the function of downstream GFCI protection.
