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

This toner works exactly as advertised. Lost power to several places in a house we recently rented. The landlord had three different people come to try and fix it. No luck. I hooked the toner up to the dead socket at the end of the line. Checked all the dead outlets,switches, and lights. Got a good signal at all. Started checking powered outlets in the general area. Found one with a signal. Turned off power disconnected wires and toned out to make sure. Reconnected wires to screws on outlet instead of back slide in connections. Turned on power problem solved.

Very well made. Toned cat5 wires four floors away without issue - strong signal & adjustable signal tone a great benefit. Very sensitive -- in addition to finding appropriate wire, it picked up data traffic in adjacent wires and sounded a different kind of tone for that.

Missing RJ-45/RJ-11 plug in to Send Tone cannot use a Coupler

Worked for couple days then stopped

Get it! Buy it! I bought this and I was a little unsure because my colleagues in IT typically purchase Fluke. I don’t have money for that! I purchased this and popped my headphones in and Wow! It picked up The tone immediately.

Recomendado

Follow up after a week of use:

Worked great

Returned! I ended up buying a fluke toner. I thought Klein would be solid since I have the scout 3 tester for cat 5/6s but this toner was NOT good.

I like how the tone generator gives you different tone options. Im not crazy about all of the static and extra noise you get out of the wand. Luckily my old wand still works fine, so I just use that. More accurate and easier to hear than the one that comes with this set.
