This is a really great outlet tester. It is much better at picking up subtle issues than the cheaper one with three neon bulbs.

$16 to tell me my outlet is working? My smoke detector does that for free.

Great, used the voltage reading to diagnose a loose neutral from the power company.

$14.99 everyday price at HF with 3-year warranty (Klein is 2 years). This isn't a deal.

You may be right, but it saves me a trip to the store as the price is a wash. Klein has a better rep in electrical equipment than a HF brand, warranty notwithstanding.

This explains it well.

A few things I found. The Klein RT250 outlet tester can pick up issues like only the hot wire hooked up (open ground and neutral at the same time) where a model like the RT210 will display no lights and make you think the circuit is dead. Measures voltage. Measures trip time of GFCI outlet.
Still trying to find if the RT250 can pick up a neutral and ground reversed issue. The RT210 cannot.

It's always a good idea to pair one of these with a non-contact tester for safety.

Purchased in store at Lowes last week. CSR price matched it over chat with the transaction # (in place of order #) and email with no issues.
May still return it because I want more versatility/information, but just a heads up to those who did the same.
