I bought this for cat5 network tracing. It works ok, and I thought I needed a fluke for better performance. But this works just as well when used with the trendnet tone generating unit. They both take some fiddling to locate the correct wire. It does NOT include the tone generator. You need to buy one separately, such as the TC-NT2 which has a nice wire-checking feature built in as well.

what can i say...its a toner. I use it with the paladin tools pro navigator which is a nice little tester by the way. It works great no complaints.

This Probe works extremely well. The main push for me to get this one was the 9V battery power, upgrading me from my 4 LR44 wafer cell batteries that were costing $10 a every time to get running again. This Tool emits a green light when phone lines are live with proper signal, and when the signal from a tone generator for data is strong enough besides just beeping it will also light up green. Adjustable speaker volume can get good and loud and my cell phone headset worked awsomely in headphone jack for if you need to work quietly. Came with an backup tip if you loose or break one I guess.

I ordered a Testifier unit with the matching probe from another supplier. The metal contacts within that probe unit kept losing contact with the internal circuity (sometimes you would get a tone, other times nothing). The unit also took 4 watch batteries (really?) which would make battery replacement utterly expensive.

I picked up this unit and I am so far impressed. Picks up signals great and takes a standard 9V battery. I wish they sold an optional carrying case for it.

It works, but it was not really what i was specting, if i recomend someone's to buy it, sure ill do..
