I bought this product over the comparable Fluke Networks one because it includes connectors for various cable types (RJ-45 or Ethernet, RJ-11 or telephone, Coaxial or cable, wire clamps, etc). I can say that it works just as described, through walls, with a visual and audible alert (the Fluke device only has audible).

I ran my test over wire that was approximately 70 feet in length, going through walls, metal and PVC conduits, exposed along a wall, etc. This device worked flawlessly to trace the wire through all levels of exposure.

I'm happy to report this product works well and is worth the money paid for it, and I believe it comes with more accessories (cable connectors) and a few extra frills for less money than the comparable Fluke device. Since I don't own the Fluke device, I cannot attest to the sensitivity of this product vs. the other one, but I can say that this Garner Bender product found my wire through different media at a perfectly acceptable level of satisfaction.

Paid for itself the first use. I used it to ID three wire runs in my remodel of the back porch. Wires were covered in the walls and this thing was a dream to use. :)

Works just as advertised. I do a lot of wire jobs as a hobby/second source of income, and a tool like this is a must have. Worked great out of the box, no complaints. Exact, and easy to use.

It's very easy to use and its pretty 'spot on' tracing the wire. I like it very much.

My husband and I had been having a electrical wiring issue for a couple of weeks, and after tearing into a almost all of the wiring in our house to find the problem... to no avail. I stumbled across this wire tracer & we went right out and bought it, not but 30 minutes later we found the problem with this little device!!! We were so pleased with our purchase best $40 spent! Worked perfectly through the floor and walls great tool to add to the collection!

The concept is great, especially the multiple connectors and the two kinds of alerts. However, mine didn't work worth beans. The receiver flashes and beeps fine when right near the transmitter, but when connecting to a wire, the signal is lost. Tried phone, fuse, and alligator outputs. All settings of sensitivity. Same thing. Can't even trace an unplugged extension cord lying on the ground. Giving three stars instead of 1 because it must be defective. Would be great if it worked.

Used to mark and trace 100 foot Cat6 runs, worked flawlessly. Didn't need or use the other connectors, but for the price, absolutely worth it.

This thing is just okay. The sound is hard to hear in a server room. You must put the alligator clip on the very end of a RJ45 clip (like on the little copper ends) to get it to work.

I used it to detect not energized power lines very well hidden behind the gyp rock.
It worked very well; it still works at 10 inches from the wire. It has a visual indicator too.
It got the job done quickly and easily.
I recommend this product.

For the money this product is an outstanding value. Operates exactly as advertised and is a very nice product overall. The rubberized grips on the side of the main body and on the top and bottom of the remote probe give it a secure feel. The pre-attatached connecting plugs are stowed away neatly inside the case and will never get lost!
A solid product... extremely happy I ordered it...
