You’ll have to have the ends of the wires stripped as these alligator clips are not designed to just clip anywhere along an insulated conductor and work. They are designed to be clipped onto the end of an exposed wire.
Our lightbulb socket adapter is used to plug into any standard lightbulb socket in your house. You can then directly plug the circuit breaker finder into the other end and then pinpoint the breaker switch for that light socket.
Our livewire adapter is used to pinpoint the right breaker for anything the other adapters can't be used for. You connect the alligator clips right onto the live wire and then you can then directly plug the circuit breaker finder into the other end and then pinpoint the breaker switch. This adapter is great for hardwired items like heaters, doorbells etc.
I'm a DIY enthusiast, and the lightbulb adapter has quickly become one of my favorite tools. It's a brilliant solution for a common problem. Plugging into the lightbulb socket and syncing it with the circuit breaker finder is a breeze. The adapter's compatibility with various socket types is impressive. No more trial and error – this adapter takes the guesswork out of the equation. If you're looking to make electrical work easier, this is a must-have!
The lightbulb adapter is an absolute game-changer! I used to dread the process of identifying the right circuit breaker for a lightbulb change, but this adapter has made it incredibly simple. Plugging it into the socket and using the circuit breaker finder eliminates all the guesswork. I can't imagine going back to the old way of doing things. This adapter is a must-have for every homeowner!
The old homes adapter is a must-have for anyone living in an older house. Dealing with 2-prong sockets used to be a headache, but this adapter has turned things around. The ability to seamlessly integrate with the circuit breaker finder makes finding the right breaker switch a breeze. It's a simple yet brilliant solution that has saved me time and frustration. I highly recommend this adapter to fellow homeowners.
I recently had to troubleshoot an electrical issue, and the livewire adapter was a true hero. The ability to safely and securely attach to live wires is a game-changer. Paired with the circuit breaker finder, I was able to locate the right breaker switch without any guesswork. The adapter's quality build and ease of use make it a must-have for anyone dealing with electrical tasks. It turned a potentially daunting task into a breeze.
As a DIY enthusiast, I'm always looking for tools that make my projects smoother. The livewire adapter is a fantastic addition to my collection. Being able to clip onto live wires and instantly pair it with the circuit breaker finder is a time-saver. No more trial and error, no more uncertainty. This adapter has revolutionized the way I handle electrical work at home. Kudos to the creators for such an innovative solution!
Can the alligator clips be used on insulated wires or do they have to be completely exposed?
You’ll have to have the ends of the wires stripped as these alligator clips are not designed to just clip anywhere along an insulated conductor and work. They are designed to be clipped onto the end of an exposed wire.
What voltage range does the livewire adapter work with?
The livewire adapter works with 120V (normal socket voltage for US homes)
Which wire to connect to red alligator clips on? Hot or neutral ?
It doesn't matter on alternating current, as "hot" goes from positive to negative and back 60 times per second. Just be sure you have a neutral, not all switch boxes do. The wires connected to the terminals on the switch should both be "hot".
