“Hi, I'm located here in my area and I was just watching a video on VideoProven called ‘How to fix a reset a tripped gfci outlet’. I see that it's rated as a Easy repair and requires a Outlet Tester and a Non-Contact Voltage Tester, which I don't have on hand. I'm a bit stuck on the step at the 01:45 mark. Can you send someone over to help me finish this up?”
