What is a "circuit breaker finder"?

A circuit breaker finder is a tool used to locate the specific circuit breaker that controls a particular electrical outlet or appliance. It consists of two parts: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is plugged into the outlet or connected to the electrical device, while the receiver is used to scan the circuit panel. The receiver detects the signal from the transmitter and helps identify which breaker is connected to the outlet or device. This tool is useful for safely and quickly shutting off power to a specific circuit without having to turn off breakers one by one.

Examples
I used the circuit breaker finder to avoid flipping all the switches when I needed to turn off power to the garage.
