Saved a lot of time when repairing light strands, worked immediately on many strands that are 20+years old.I wish there were two bulb testing sockets - on some of the older bulbs the plastic bulb housing displaces the contacts just enough to make a perfectly fine bulb seem dead, so that type of bulb has to be tested much more carefully, which is why I gave it 4 stars (really it deserves 4.5). Everything else works great, I love how one tool can test/fix so many potential issues with a strand.

Most of the lights were out on my ~30 year old prelit 10' Christmas tree.There had been MANY efforts over the years to restore the dead lights to working but there wasn't ANY progress.THIS YEAR I decided to get the tree completely working again.IMO, the LightKeeper Pro beeper function would be terrific on a string of lights, stretched out, but it didn't have any utility for me on the prelit tree, so I sequentially removed, inspected, tested and replaced bulbs, one by one.Virtually all of the problems were caused by a broken bulb wire.The LightKeeper Pro has a metal plate in the nose that worked very well to dislodge bulbs for removal. Frequently I would be able to get those detached bulbs to be secure in that nose pocket when removing from the tree.The method I used was to put a colored twist tie on each dead branch at the trunk once I started testing the bulbs on that branch. My tree had light strings that spanned 2½ to 5 branches, depending upon the height / size. The colored twist ties REALLY helped decrease the confusion in the process.Once a bulb was removed from the tree socket I would pinch the bulb with one hand and the base with the other hand. Then I would LIGHTLY rotate those parts SLIGHTLY back and forth. Then I would use my magnifying glass to visually inspect the leads on the base sides.If one lead was missing, then I would replace the bulb. If either lead was too short to lay on the flat surface, then I would replace the bulb.THEN I would test the bulb in the powered LightKeeper Pro socket for normal brightness. Infrequently a bulb was VERY dim and it would be replaced. Sometimes a bulb was black from the internal fuse blowing and it would be replaced. Sometimes a bulb was dead and it would be replaced.If the bulb inspected and tested good, Then it was reseated tightly into it's socket.The tree consumed about 300 bulbs to attain complete functionality.This LightKeeper Pro tool is recommended.

Sorry, but this thing did not work for me. Did not like it at all. Tricky to use. Will return it.

A section of lights on my many-years-old pre-lit tree went out. After trying all the suggestions the internet had to offer I purchased the LightkeeperPro based on a random blog post. I was skeptical but desperate. One click of the trigger and the lights came back on! I am pleasantly surprised that it worked so well and so easily. It’s a bit pricy but worth it for the time it saved and not having to replace the tree.

Las instrucciones no me parecieron muy claras, pero con un vídeo en YouTube fue suficiente para comprender lo fácil que es su uso. Nos ha ayudado muchísimo a reparar series de luces sin invertir horas. Muy recomendable.

One word! AWESOME. A big section of my pre-lit Christmas Tree was not lighting up. I had tried randomly changing bulbs but gave up quite quickly as I was never going to work out where the fault was. The light keeper found the fault in seconds. So easy to use and worth every penny - no need to buy a new tree or string lights!
