Watch out

  • ET450 traces energized and non-energized wires through drywall, block and underground; ET310 only identifies the breaker for an outlet.

Why people pick it

  • Traces both energized and non-energized circuits, so dead wires can be identified too
  • Sensitivity is adjustable and the signal is picked up through drywall, cement block and underground runs
  • Klein publishes a real CAT III 600V safety rating and external voltage indicators up to 480V
  • The kit is complete: prongs, alligator clips, two lead adapters, batteries and a hard case

Know before you buy

  • A large, 6-plus-pound kit; overkill for someone who only wants to identify outlet breakers
  • Runs on ten AA batteries, with up to 24 hr battery life
  • Klein lists no auto-ranging receiver sensitivity or depth-through-concrete figure
  • Not for arc-flash-adjacent panel work without proper PPE; follow the panel warnings in the manual
