I sure have.. Started using one over 50 years ago.. I designed my first one myself.. The tool uses an induction meter to "sense" the current flow, and a circuit breaker in place of the fuse.. Click on the link I posted.. When it comes up, click on "instructions".. It's a simple design and very easy to use.. Like I said, it will take you by the hand and lead you directly to the short.
