[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4198058, member: 8119"] I just tried this Harbor Freight item on a live 110v extension cord across my yard. Connected the signal generator to the end of the cord (110v live wire), and tried to follow the cord using the receiver . The receiver lost the signal after about 6 feet. It did pick up the AC noise much more then the signal, but unfortunately you have to be close to the wire for even that. SO - it may track your wire using the AC noise and point you in the direction of the wire. The 110v voltage didn't effect the signal generator. An electrician has better tools for following wires. Got any electrician friends? [/QUOTE]
