    I have this circuit breaker detector and it works great. I went through the house, identified the individual breakers and the circuits (e.g. receptacle west wall dining room, upstairs hall lights, etc.), put them on an Excel spreadsheet and taped them to the box. I also noted if there is a GFCI and its location on the circuit. I labelled the receptacles on the cover so I can easily see what breaker it's on.

    I never use the settings other than drill bit on my 18v dewalt. The trigger allows you to control the speed and when your screw is at the surface, you release trigger and it stops. If you use the lower torque settings, whenever you hit some denser wood, like a knot, you will have to re-adjust it. Better to just develop good trigger control.
