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

The Klein toner and probe kit is one of the best out there in my opinion. Very easy quick setup, very accurate, all in one. Comes with everything you need. Gives you options on how to hook up with either rj11 or rj45 jacks or alligator clips with nail beds to clip onto wires. Simply to operate and easy to use., has great range and depth detection inside houses. Comes with batteries and pouch to hold everything together. Fast and damage free shipping.

Great product. Could use a RJ45 female-to-female coupler in the box to connect the provided RJ11 plug to an Ethernet cable for troubleshooting Ethernet networks.

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.

Works good but toner probe has a problem detecting signal after about 100 feet . It’s the wand itself. I used my fluke wand on the Klein signal generator and works much better.

Great little tracer. Nice loud tone.

The tester is very good, although I wish the manufacturer would have added the function that when I short the two wires the generator tone will changes to a different tone. Besides that the unit is solid.

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

works good and like the bag

The quality feels good. I needed to trace a power wire through a drywall as I had no idea where it went, but I knew where it started. I was able to trace the wire by moving the tracer around the drywall. The sound was fainter than I expected from outside the wall, but once I got used to hearing the differences in the tone it was quite effective. My wire ended up being about 10 metres long when I found the end.
