Maybe inflation/tariffs are some excuse for the price now.
Non contact very reliable and durable (obviously Klein price for something that you could get Temu-class for $5, but you do want to pay for the certainty here).
My opinion on the digital GFCI tester will probably be unpopular as I'm not a pro electrician - I really like the voltage showing up and the trip time. If someone messed up and there is a voltage drop in the circuit, whether GFCI or not, this is the easiest way to find out (a pro would probably connect a multimeter). If your GFCI protection is coming from another outlet that's protecting the whole circuit, or if the GFCI outlet is defective, trip time will be high. Basically, if trip time is higher than 0.05 seconds, there is a problem somewhere. And if it's more than 0.25 seconds, you might get a cardiac arrest if you get electrocuted. There is a GFCI trip curve formula or something if you are math inclined.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank PurpleFruit5141
However, why should I go with this kit instead of the similar combo that comes with a digital voltmeter? Seems like that would be infinitely more useful.
