When I replaced a handful of standard receptacles with USB outlets around my house, the tool that mattered most cost less than a pizza. It was the Klein Tools NCVT1PKIT, a plug-in receptacle tester and a non-contact voltage pen sold together for about $27. I bought it in 2024, and it has since caught at least one bad assumption I made about which breaker fed which outlet.
