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

GOOD

If using jack you will never find your cable. The tone produced is quiet and continuous but can only be heard when you’re within 2 inches of the pack making the tone.

Wish it was louder

Items works well, I have never used a toner that was perfect, they can all be a bit staticky if that is a word. This did do what it was supposed to do though. Let me trace some 110v electrical wires in my home. At one time I used these for work for IT cables often. They will let you trace any copper wire but you do need access to the actual copper part of the wire with either the clamps or the connector.

This is the best one Ive owned.

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.

Trying figure out a dead outlet

This unit will only trace out open ended wires. if youre trying to trace something connected it will not give a signal. But other than that its a nice unit.

Great little kit. Had been having trouble with coax outlets so bought this and hooked up to a spare short piece of coax. Immediately showed a short...new house so thought maybe a nail had caught the cable...turns out the contractor messed up and got the ground shield in contact with centerwire during install (pic attached after I cut it off)...wasted 3 weekends looking for this and found it in 5 minutes with tester. Replaced connector and tester confirmed it was good so I went into attic to locate the other end out of a bundle of cables and found it within a few seconds on about 100 run of cable...tone started getting louder as I got close (within couple feet) to cable then loud strong tone as soon I touched the correct connector. Very impressed!

Works as listed and works better than expected. Easy to use and the options provided on the devices provides great service.
