I'm choosing this over a multimeter

With that being said, yes, with the breakers OFF, you could use this to figure out which electrical wire is running back to which breaker but there are better tools for that.
This would be handy to use if you have a J-box stuffed full of electrical wires and you need to figure out which wire is running back to the switch and which one is moving on to the next receptacle down the line. You can use on low voltage too (again, make sure there is no live current). Just use a good quality tester to make sure there are no live wires in that J-box first and down the line.
I use these on remodels when trying to figure out which wire is my traveler wire for 3 or 4-way switches.
This is handy (and better option) for determining what is on what breaker

This is roughly the same thing and what they all looked like originally (all brands)
