Southwire KIT, T200K MULITPURPOSE TONE & PROBE

Ive used this for a few months in my work. I do IT work and occasionally have to trace lines out. This has worked perfectly in my case. If you run cables regularly and need something to use daily you will probably be better served with a professional level tracing kit. Be aware though that on my model I have to press the button on the toner pretty far in to get it to turn on. I think this may be by design to prevent it being turned on accidentally but I dont have another unit to compare to. Just press the button with the very tip of your finger, not the pad of your finger if you know what I mean.

The only time the wand actually picks up the tone is when youre holding the point of the wand against the tip of the cable youlre testing. I might as well just guess with my cable tester till I buy something else

Ok, so the sensitivity adjuster is a totally terrible design. Primarily, if you are searching for a single trace in a large bundle, this will go off- beeping at any wire in proximity. If you crank the sensitivity down, it still has the same beep, just quieter- YOU STILL CANT DISTINGUISH A SINGLE TRACE. Itll beep on every wire adjacent to the transmitting wire. So, in the cramped quarters of a car or engine bay, this is useless- Especially if you dont have room to separate the wires.

good product , had shipping issues

I have used a toner just about everyday for the last 35 years and I can honestly say this one leaves the other ones in the dust.

Ive had it for a year and only broke the fuse piece. My fault. Worlds great!

I love almost everything about this toner. Only gripe I have is that it doesnt take rj45 connection on the tool end.

This is a great little piece of kit. The only thing that i have say in a negative way,is the fact that the cables supplied with the device are not the best quality and have a tendency to fall out of location,but that said,it’s a real time saver.

good tool for the money the tone is kind of weak compared to some others but it gets the job done while leaving you money to buy more tools also the tone probe and accessories are kept together in a good solid holder.

I was very disappointed at first. I was trying to use this to find some cat 5 cables in our office, and I discovered I couldnt hear anything from the probe if I got more than a couple of feet down the cable. I wrote a bad review, then I thought to check the cat 5 connector for the tone generator. Turns out the RJ-11 plug that goes into the generator was not properly connected. After snipping it off and crimping on another connector, Ive got much better performance.
