A few cents off the all time low on Amazon. If you look, these aren't discounted very much and this is about the best price you can get. The reviews on this Klein Circuit Breaker Finder are rather glowing. The accessories that come with this kit
sell for $20 on their own. [amazon.com]
Here's what BobVilla.com said about it in their
review [bobvila.com]:
Is the Klein ET310 right for you?
The Klein ET310 is an excellent tool for those who want to take the guesswork out of matching circuit breakers to outlets. The ET310 is accurate and requires very little expertise to use competently. I also loved that the ET310 allowed me to perform other functions while matching circuit breakers, including testing GFCI outlets and identifying potentially dangerous wiring issues.
Despite these pros, the ET310 does have its limitations. While most DIYers will appreciate its auto sensitivity, those with more experience may prefer a circuit-breaker finder that allows them to adjust the sensitivity manually. The ET310 also only tests circuits up to 120 volts. While this covers the majority of outlets, lights, sockets, and other electrical connections in one's home, it won't work with the 220-volt outlets that ovens, dryers, and air-conditioning units use. Those who need to test higher-voltage wiring will want to upgrade to a pro-level circuit-breaker finder.

tip for homebuyers: take the GFCI tester with you when you are shopping for a home, and test a few outlets, especially outdoors, to see if any shortcuts were taken. Prepare to be terrified
The circuit breaker finder is quite useful if you understand one blindspot: if you have a circuit with a UPS backup battery plugged into it, unplug that UPS before looking for its respective breaker. I found this out through a super obscure forum post after trying for a half hour to find the circuit for the bedroom.
Sadly, by the time I figured this issue out, I already found the circuit by process of elimination
