Klein Tools VDV500-123 Cable Tracer Probe-Pro Tracing Probe with Replaceable Non-Metallic, Conductive Tip and a Light for Use in Dark Spaces

If you have any of the Klein scout range with the toning function, this is a must have.The probe is powered by a 9v battery and is secured in a screwed compartment on the back. There is a quite powerful light on the front of it that is ultra handy when searching for cables in the back of patch panels. This can be turned on independently from the toning function.The volume level is controlled by two buttons and the highest levels is quite high and also can have a pair of headphones attached using a 3.5mm jack.The outer casing is very rugged and durable and does look like it will withstand a lot of use in all different kinds of environments.Overall, a very handy and well priced probe to pair with the Klein scout range.

Great tool , must have if you working in this environment, quality plastic, easy to use , not cheap but more quality then other hope it will work all the time no issue . Recommend

It shows and says there is a probe with it and in the reviews and questions also a case of which there is neither

Put simply, this works as it should. Volume is quite good but has a earphone socket for noisy areas. The tip is replaceable when it's worn down. The led light is adequate but not brilliant and works whether the probe is switched on or off. It's comfortable to hold and use.

This is great for working with AV and Network cabling. We have recently moved into a heavily modernised 1960s house that has a lot of solid (rather than partition) walls and the previous owner had use a lot of cat 5 cabling for both data and Audi visual (HDMI over cat 5 distribution etc). Its says its designed to be used with a specific tone generator, but worked fine with an extent generator I already had that had a rubbish probe. The features on this are great allowing an analogue headphone to be used and also with a light tip which came in use several times. Its pretty straightforward to use and in fairness, you won't use this often at all, but Shen you do need it, it is invaluable.

This is a good quality product, which will help for every internet engineer to find faults in a network or telephones lines. But be aware, it can be used just with tracing probe which is sold separately. Nevertheless, it is a high-quality product which feels rugged ( which is good as it sometimes can be dropped on the ground ) and are made from good materials and should last for a long time.

Another quality tool from Klein, great testing kit

Very accurate, does the job perfectly. It feels sturdier than my last one and I like the textured finish
