    Just like the other reviewer, I purchased this from Lowes. I returned the first one since one of the unit would not turn ON. The second one that I bought had the other unit not powering up. Good thing was I tested it at Lowes parking lot. So I was frustrated and was going to return the second one as well. But as I was removing the batteries to return the second one, I noticed the problem was the battery connectors. The diagram shows that the user is supposed to put the batteries in criss-cross, so that batteries are in series circuit even though they are side-by-side. This is what I did. The problem is, even though the batteries go in criss-cross, the spring connectors for the batteries negative connectors are on the same side! Meaning one is being used for the batteries positive end (the nipple one). Since the batteries are AAA, the positive nipple part goes in the middle of the spring and does not make contact with the battery.... unless your batterys top/positive end has exposed connector across the top. This is true for the pair of panasonic I had, but not the rechargeable eneloop batteries. This means the ones I had a pair of eneloop batteries was not turning on because the spring was not making contact with the battery. I swapped the batteries and saw the one I thought was broken turn ON. I decided to keep it since I really need it for the new house with coax and cat5 connectors that are not labeled. I put it away for a couple of months and when I used it again, one of the battery spring came off. This is because there is no way to take out the inner battery without hitting the spring for the outer battery, so the spring for the outer battery came off. TLDR: Very expensive for a unit with really bad design.

    I love almost everything about this toner. Only gripe I have is that it doesnt take rj45 connection on the tool end.

    Product works and the convenience of the package is awesome. I dont carry it too often and feel the clip might break if you use it too often. I could be wrong. Good product, Im satisfied, it works as well as the 90$ toners and I can fit the whole thing on my belt when I need it.

    An absolute piece of worthless trash. Cheap Chinese crap. I bought this at Lowes. The first one was dead on arrival. Took it back and got another. Can not hear the tone. I hear some quiet clicking as I pass the probe over wires. They all click. No distinct tone when I hit the right wire. Throwing this in the trash and going to purchase a pro tool that works

    Ive used this for a few months in my work. I do IT work and occasionally have to trace lines out. This has worked perfectly in my case. If you run cables regularly and need something to use daily you will probably be better served with a professional level tracing kit. Be aware though that on my model I have to press the button on the toner pretty far in to get it to turn on. I think this may be by design to prevent it being turned on accidentally but I dont have another unit to compare to. Just press the button with the very tip of your finger, not the pad of your finger if you know what I mean.

    Love this thing. Compact, various connectors work flawlessly, and to top it all off its cheaper than competitors and it actually works better than the Fluke I had (the blue one). At low gain I can pinpoint cables with accuracy and precision and the probe will be nice and loud even at low gain.

    I bought this at lowes, i have not had any problems with it and it has worked great for tracing cat6. One cable i had to trace was around 200ft, picked it out of the bundle with no problems. Only thing that has happened to me was while putting the probe in the carrying case, the button rested against the side and it killed the batteries, lesson learned, replaced the batteries and back to work.

    Had one of these when I worked in IT. Great for unraveling any wiring mysteries.
