This tool works as you want it to.

Would Recommend

The Product was as expected and excellent. During a repair I had to go to Lowes twice. Each time there was a tall gray-haired gentleman In electrical. He was knowledge able about the store as well as the actual problem and and the product. He knew about the shoddy installation that caused the problem. I wish I had gotten his name.
