Tried a $20 outlet tester from Amazon. Should have known better.

Grabbed one off the page with good reviews. Plugged it into a socket I knew was bad. It showed everything was fine. Went back with my old Klein and found a missing ground. Learned my lesson. Anyone else had a cheap tester lie to them?

Cheap gear lies, cheap ingredients spoil, cheap advice backfires - it's the same story everywhere.

A MISSING GROUND and it showed all green? That's terrifying, a cheap tester could literally kill someone. I'd have been FURIOUS.

A missing ground?! That would have fried something for sure.
