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

I forgot one connection and couldnt figure out where the wire was. Followed the instructions for this tool and found it right away. Saved me tons of work.

My husband uses these for his electrical jobs and they work very well.

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.

The wand does not work properly with mine. Dont buy this product. Youll regret it.

Great value for the price and great tool to find the problem if you know how to work it.

Klein anything is usually pretty good. Works for me only issue I’ve had with it was the batteries that came with it were in there backwards thought my unit was busted because it would only stay on if you held down the power button. Probably a fluke thing but after putting them in correctly it works as it should.

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.

The detector detects injected signal into the CAT6 cable, but only when it touches the cable. The detection fails when the detector is even 1/2 inch from the cable. It is not possible to trace cables behind drywall with this device.

I may have missed it but Im not sure why in all the verbiage on the site they just dont say FOR LOW VOLTAGE CIRCUITS ONLY and or NOT FOR 120 VOLT CIRCUITS. You have to wait for the product to arrive and then read the manual which is quit clear about the volt usage. Returning product.
