Please enlist your family and friends in looking
for HF's popular and useful '20% off' coupon in your
local paper and among the 'mailbox stuffing'.
It is a Good Thing and works a treat.

That's one of the caveats of the CB tracer, you have to turn off ALL theOn Mon, 9 Apr 2012 02:25:59 -0700 (PDT), Bob_Villa

Connect a cordless phone base station to the outlet in question and take the handset to the panel to see when it loses power.
I'd prefer to avoid tripping breakers. Thanks for the suggestion
though.
Err... not sure I understand.That's one of the caveats of the CB tracer, you have to turn off ALL the
CB or it won't work. It's a continuity issue.

I just bought this:

If I understand it, I plug one end into an outlet, then go outside to
the breaker and find which outlet it's plugged into. No need to shut
anything off, correct?
That contradicts the manual:No. The plug in part impresses a tracer signal on the conductors. The
tracer signal will flow everywhere that there is continuity, including
past the main. To isolate the breaker that provides power to the socket
that the plug in part is plugged into that breaker MUST be off. Otherwise
the tracer signal appears in the whole building.
And no manufacturer ever lied?On Sat, 14 Apr 2012 22:58:31 -0700, josephkk

That contradicts the manual:
Note: Due to the proximity of other electrical wiring it is possible
for the receiver to indicate a signal on multiple breakers. To locate
the proper breaker it may be necessary to listen for the loudest
beeping and watch for the highest L.E.D. indication to identify the
proper breaker.
As the transmitter - that plugs into the wall - has no battery, if
there's no power, it can't send a signal.
Err .. huh? Lied about what?And no manufacturer ever lied?
