Cons

Worked twice - though not very well. Then basically quit. It's very disappointed. It does not work at all as intend to be.

Spent 45 minutes on tech support only to return it for 50% refund. Turns out these outlets were properly grounded, so that was a total waste of money. Throwed in the trash.

The people who make this tool are obviously not very intelligent! There are no instructions and if you go to their website, they don't make it easy to find the instructions. Second, they are complicated for such a simple instrument.
