Klein Tools VDV500-820 Cable Tracer with Probe Tone Pro Kit for Telephone, Internet, Video, Data and Communications Cables

Im not an Electrician, but do all of my own electrical work. I had a dead Post Light and could not find the source of power. After this tool arrived in the mail, my problem was solved in 15 minutes. While it is primarily a tool for cable diagnostics, with a dead A/C circuit it works great.

Excellent for my job.

Excelente producto me ha sido de mucha utilidad

I am not remotely an electrician and was able to trace out wiring in an old farm house with no problem. I did find a useful video on youtube that allowed me to use this tracer more competently.

I dont like that tone does not pass if there is continuity on the other end. i use this for toning possibly live jacks (Phone system, low voltage from phone company) and i have to use my southwire toner so i can get a tone, with the klein probe. Other than that the light is very nice and i like how i dont have to press the button while toning, just turn it on and go.

This new toner works great to replace my old one and i like that it doesnt take up much space in my tool bag.

Coming from a electrician of 16 years this is a time saver doing remodel work very easy to use ive used it on several jobs enough to have a good opinion on how good it is and it is very accurate for example you can connect the meter to a home run and use the probe in the panel to find it by runnning it close to breakers would definitely recommend to another electrician as its a must have

Ive used this to trace a bunch of AC wires. Works great!!!

Instructions not clear, but it’s a great product for tracing wires. It is great with 120volt wires, but make sure power is off to circuit. It is confusing because it says only use on 60volt and under and 20 volt and under for energized wires.

I wanted to finally trace out the circuits of my house with something easier than a socket tester. I was hoping that I could turn off one breaker; hook the signal to that wire at the circuit breaker; and then find the signal at the various wall switches and wall sockets. Forget it... the cross-talk from all of the 60 Hz in the breaker box swamped the devices signal. I just got buzzing everywhere. Impossible to distinguish the signal from the buzzing. I think Id have to turn off ALL breakers to make this work... I didnt want to do that.
