Coaxial (Coax) Pocket Continuity Tester (Tracer) with Voltage Toner (Sound) and Barrel Connector Bundle, for Testing, Labeling, and Identifying coaxial Lines - Pocket Toner

Right-angled connector detached from main body and cannot be used. This head connector should not have come off. To salvage from these parts, with pliers, the bulb and the tiny board where it’s attached can be pulled out. Replacing the connection from the detached head connector to the battery by soldering a new piece of insulated wire, the cable connectivity test can be done with the speaker as intended on a short coaxial cable and the speaker beeps. However, when used for testing coaxial cable in house, the tester does not work! The speaker does not beep. Probably total resistance from coaxial cable and speaker is too high and there is not enough current to drive the speaker. Further cutting the single piece of soldered insulated wire into 2 pieces and removing the light bulb from the tiny circuit board and putting the light bulb in series with the 2 pieces of wires and doing the connectivity test by looking at whether the light bulb lights up works, by not using the speaker at the other end but using a cheap coaxial cap instead (not part of components here).

This product is not really the best for the job. The cutting tool does not cut properly and tends to cut the outer part of the coax off. I ended up using a utility knife to cut it correctly. The crimping tool worked pretty well.

I used to have satellite TV until I ordered a outdoor powered TV antenna from Amazon. I used this tester to find all my cable lines to hook into my new antenna and to all my TVs around the house and this was the best purchase I have ever made and made it so easy to reroute to my new outdoor antenna

Good product but bad documentation! Use the product as shown below: 1. Unscrew the black bottom from the device 2. Attach the end with red light in the coax outlet 3. Go to the other end and connect the black bottom you unscrewed in step 1 to coax end points one by one 4. When you connect to the correct end point it will beep. 5. Label that end point Checkout my video review for more details!

This thing is so cool and it helped me with a mess of RG59 wiring pre-installed in my home to figure what is what. Only downfall would be lack of directions.

This is a great pocket toner. Very easy to use and understand. You separate the speaker from the bottom and you attach the top part to the wall Jack or the end of a cable using a barrel then you go to the other end were all the cables are and you stick the little speaker on the cable ends and wait to hear it tone. When you hear it tone you know you have the right cable. Can also be used to identify a cabke connected to any power source.

Only complaint is that it came without any instructions what so ever.

It does what it is supposed to do. Only drawback is that the plastic case it comes in does not have a lid to keep everything from falling out. Not a tool that can just be tossed in your toolbox for later.

So, this tool has worked fairly well for the lat two weeks.

First, really easy to use. I have a coaxial and ethernet home, with lots of cables. It took only a few minutes to find the correct coaxial cable. Just plugged the pen portion into my cable jack for the TV in my basement, and took the speaker part and connected it to the various cables until I heard the tone. The speaker is threaded to the end of the pen, and just threads into the coaxial cable. When done, I removed the battery, assembled the parts, and placed into a zip lock sandwich bag, figuring it will be awhile before I need to use it again. I like that its compact, and simple.
