Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2025Pros:
- Includes storage case and two 9V batteries
- RF "Tone" mode works well to trace open circuits
- Can help locate faults not detectable by multi-meters
- Sound signal makes wire tracing intuitive
- Identifies open circuit location with reasonable accuracy
- Helpful for automotive wiring diagnostics
- Straightforward setup and usage
- Green LED indicator for short detection in "Conductivity" mode
Cons:
- Uses 9V batteries which are more costly than AAs
- Beep volume decreases gradually, requiring practice to interpret
- "Conductivity" mode is basic and less effective than a multimeter
- No abrupt beep stop at fault location may confuse beginners
- Accuracy of pinpointing fault takes time to master
- Beep volume is a little low and may not work well in a noisy garage
The Zzxker Electrical Circuit Tracer, Transmitter and Receiver Set has a decent quality. It comes with a storage case and includes two 9V batteries. In a typical application, the transmitter emits an RF signal through either the red or the black alligator clip. The receiver detects this signal, and the louder the beep, the stronger the signal.
This tool is ideal for identifying an open circuit in the middle of a long wire. This is called "Tone" mode. You set up the transmitter at one end of the wire, then use the receiver to trace the wire from that point. If the wire is not broken, the beeping should continue all the way to the end. However, if there's an open circuit, the beep starts to fade as you pass over the fault. The volume drops significantly by about 2 to 3 inches after the break point. With some practice, I was able to locate the fault with decent accuracy. It is a handy device that performs a task no multimeter can do. I am delighted with its effectiveness.
The transmitter can also operate in "Conductivity" mode using both clips. When a short is detected, a green LED lights up. This mode is a bit primitive, and a multimeter does the job better. In my opinion, the real value of this product is in the RF tracing 鈥淭one鈥 mode.
Overall, this circuit tracer works well for finding breaks in long wires. It takes practice to use "Tone" mode effectively. I just wish it used AA batteries, as 9V ones are more expensive. I'm glad I ordered this special-purpose tool. It should be very useful for car wiring and electrical work.
