[RE-wrenches] Underground fault finder

[Matt Sherald]

Hi Drake,

I've rented a set-up from my electrical supply house.  I'd check to see if
Scott Electric/Advantage Rental serves your part of Ohio.

If memory serves, it is two pieces of equipment that you need.  One to
trace the line and a second to find the fault.
