I see circuit tracers priced from $25 to 1000s of dollars. I guess that the cheap ones won't do. I can find the circuit breaker. I want to find where the NM cables run inside the walls and perhaps ceilings, so that I have some hope of finding where it is mis-wired. So all I need is a tracer...

I know there are various available, but I'm looking for a recommendation for a reasonably priced one, simple 1 gang to switch a kitchen light. I'd priced for moving a switch (needed due to a door being rehung to the opposite hand) but now find the proposed cable route is a no go. My mistake, so...

Anyone know where I can get a PDF version of BS6701:2010 from? Cheapest I can see on the net is £80+ Seems extortionate to me for such a small document, but I'm probably looking in the wrong place.
Any one know of a good source for reasonably priced regulatory docs?
