Re: Reverse Polarity and Funny Reading from my Voltage Sniffer
Jerry,

I am one who uses those 3 light cheapo's.
On older homes, I pull random receptacle cover plates to check for false grounds (find them all the time).
The 3 light deals are accurate for checking for polarity and most grounds --- are they not?
The Sure Tests provide false readings as well-- do they not? (close to a panel).

I guess I'm still waiting for a good reason to buy a SureTest........... I won't be checking for voltage drop.(maybe we need a poll to see what everyone uses). .

I am not opposed to using a SureTest, I'm just am waiting for a great reason to buy one.

Fire away.
