Now days. A helper and FRS walkie talkies are step savers. Some
electricians short the outlet, and then go see which breaker tripped.
I built myself an "off and pop" using electrical cord, junction box,
and 20 amp toggle switch.

We used to use a cheap radio for that.

I've done that also. It's fine when you want to find the fuse/breaker
that feeds an outlet. If you're trying to find which of 8 breakers
feeds which of 20 outlets, it's not so good (20 trips to try each
outlet
in turn).
