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

Excelente herramienta de trabajo, la intensidad de los tonos es muy buena

Its a good quality product, feels solid. My only complaint is this would be so much better if it could work with an active network instead of only inactive wiring

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.

Used this to rewire an entire houses electrical system. It helped me find wires that may have seemed they were going in one direction, but actually ended up someone else.

This works well. I was able to trace the wire I was looking for through the wall. 1/2 drywall

It emits a radio signal which wants to travel through the wire youre chasing, but will bleed over into other wires in the same bundle so watch for that. You can listen for the strength of the signal from each wire in the bundle and determine which one you are connected to on the other end. Just be aware of this and youll enjoy the tool.

I bought this signal generator to help troubleshoot a bad 120-volt circuit in my motorhome. There were no schematics to use and the manufacture was bought be another who said they had none as well. This tool is not to be used on energized circuits. The outlets in the front up behind the tv were dead. I found a piece of Romex behind an outlet by the bedroom tv that wasnt connected. I tried a continuity test with the conductors and the front outlets but there was none. The front Romez disappeared into the wall that was that for tracing. I have a generator for tracing house circuits but the circuit needs to be energized and this is dead. When this one arrived it was packaged nicely and had everything needed to get started immediately. I connected it to the front Romex conductors and was able to trace the signal through the upper front cabinet into the ceiling down the ceiling through a couple of closets rite to the end of the disconnected Romex. The wires were concealed in the ceiling the whole way. The Romex must be damaged in some way but the signal was still able to transmit to the end of it load and clear. After a week of searching and testing, this little tester made short work of an impossible situation. After rerouting a new piece of Romex the front outlet are working.

Had an open circuit that I could not locate. This tool helped me find it right away.

This did exactly what I wanted it to do - help me find out where the cables from various telephone jacks were terminated on a telco terminal strip in a basement. The tone generator will generate a variety of tones both steady tones and the good old two tone signals.

Well made
