That's the same thing, the wand I have looks like a hair dryer or a goofy pistol. The best part is the way it stops when you flip off the right breaker. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan Rossi To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 3:41 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Circuit breaker finder.
I have changed the subject line as we are now talking about circuit breaker mapping and not battery testing. I have not heard of the item that Bob just discussed, but I've heard of another one, have actually used it. You plug a transmitter into an outlet, then you drag this wand thing over the circuit breakers and it beeps when it passes over the breaker connected to the circuit that the transmitter is plugged into. You have to wand the row of breakers a few times to be absolutely sure you got the right one, but it works quite well. Definitely blind friendly and you can do it solo. You would need one of those whigits that have an outlet on one end and a lightbulb thread on the other end to check light fixtures that are hard wired. -- Blue skies.
