Easy to use and found a fault...
I got this after plugging something in and getting quite the "nip" from touching 2 metal cased objects that was in the same Surge Protector. I unplugged the surge protector and tested directly on the socket.. 3 green lights (so it says everything is correct) I also checked all the other sockets in my Flat just to make sure, and all gave 3 Green lights. So after a bit of puzzlement as to why I kept getting the occasional "nip" from that one Surge Protector I decided to test the surge protector with this tester.. 2 Green lights... Earth Fault... Yeah the surge protector was not earthed (checked with a multi meter and no connection between the earth sockets in the surge protector and the earth pin on the plug), So problem found with a so called "brand name" surge protector, that cost over £30 and was not safe to use. So this tester helped reassure me that the connections in my flat are safe, and the fault was with a surge protector. Needless to say that sure protector will now be going away to place where it can no longer cause any safety issues for me or anyone else.
