I work installing electronic security systems, so low voltage electrician. I'm still on my first one of these from 4 years ago and for 20$ just bought a bunch more for the new hires on my team. A wire toner is basically a necessity with the amount of wires we deal with and this thing does everything and more than the expensive models that cost 3X+ normally. After learning how to use it its an ethernet line diagnostic tool, non contact voltage tester, wire tracer, polling loop tester, and continuity tester. The cheaper unshielded wand is actually MORE useful than the fancy expensive ones because you can hear the hum of high voltage lines, the pulsing of data lines, and the ringing of the toner itself pretty clearly. The network line tester does basic pair testing but if you watch closely you can find a dimmer light on a potentially poor termination, sometimes just needing to fix one pin on an end rather than completely redoing it. If you do any kind of low voltage or data work I HIGLY recommend this. Oh and the cheap fisher price plastic case has stood the test from 20' falls to midwestern summers and winters left in the truck. Sure it seems cheap, and it is, but its well worth it

Overall its a great product, does what i needed it to do and solve a problem for me. However you really need to read the 2 font instructions to understand how to use it. I bought it to specifically tone a coax cable. Got the device, set the dial to "tone" and nothing. Checked other settings, seemingly not working right and nothing. Put the unit on "scan" and i get a tone. No problem ill use it for my needs and return it defective. Fast forward, fixed my issue then decided to read t instruction. No joke on 2 font. i needed my phone to read it. Well low and behold, you get the tone feature my using scan, the "tone" on the dial is to check dial tone on a phone line. After looking over the instructions it does work as they say its just really odd why the settings are callled what they are. Am keeping as it comes in handy and was a good value just not intuitive like any other testing i own or have used.

It is adequate for my limited uses. I have a much more expensive unit in storage and it would be a pain to go dig it out. So, I got this. It worked just fine for my limited needs. For the money, well worth it.

Nice product and very helpful !

Great product for the price. Works exactly what I needed it for, found the wire at my switch.

The multimeter appears to work with decent accuracy. However, if the multimeter is left unused in the “ON” position for more than 30 seconds, it goes into a sleep mode but the digital display continues reads 0.0, which leads you to believe the meter is still active. I wasted several minutes, checking connections on my Golf Cart’s wiring system before I figured out the multimeter was in a sleep mode and not reading the voltage. You have to turn the meter to the off opposition and back on to get a reading. This glitch makes the multimeter extremely difficult to work with . I’d like to ask the manufacturer is this its design or is my multimeter defective.

I purchased this line tracer to figure out how my telephone lines were routed. I had static on my house phone and the cable company was useless for anything beyond the router/modem. It turned out the lines were buried in inaccessible places covered with foam insulation, etc and I had to run a new line to the other side of the house. The toner allowed me to trace the wall phone jack connection to the attic where I was able to connect a new line and run that back through the garage and then down through the basement to the router. Problem solved. I did not get a chance to use the other features of this tool but it paid for itself several times over with this one use. I used a standard RJ11 telephone line to go directly from the toner to the wall jacks on both sides. BTW, the signal was very strong. I was actually able to trace the wires behind a wall in the kitchen and found that they ran up to the attic and not down to the basement.

Lacks a 200VAC setting but the 600VAC rounds pretty close. My other meter showing 123.5VAC and this one will show 124 - 125VAC. Other settings seem to be good. Tested a 1.5V AAA and 9V alkaline with another and it was spot on. The capacitor tester is also good. The contactless voltage detection also worked well but of course always check outlets, etc. with probes. 5* because it's $10 and don't expect much on build quality. But with the cover it feels nice int he hand. I just wouldn't drop it and find out.

No funciona el scanner, suena una vez y luego ya no funciona la chicharra o pipí.

Ce testeur de câble est pratique, multifonction et très facile d'utilisation. Il fait parfaitement le travail attendu.

Facile da usare e molto pratico!

Works fine qnd price is good. The audio noise is very noisy with interference and it is hard to pinpoint 1 cable in a bunch but its already a time saver to at least follow the cabling inside the car to find an issue.

Necesitaba algun sistema de poder trazar cables en una casa en la que estoy rehaciendo la instalación electrica y este aparato me ha salvado la vida... puedes ponerlo en modo busqueda y te permite identificar facilmente que cables van a donde gracias a una melodia que suena cuando el polo se acerca a uno de los cables conectados en el otro extremo... Genial!
