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

I had one when I did professional installs. Theres no plastic, no LCD screen, no nonsense. Metal body, one battery, one LED, one speaker. You need it for one job and it gets it done.

After months to figure out which way the 6 coax cables went in my RV and which. Able was satellite, cable or over the air it took me ALL OF 20 min to solve the puzzle

Works great! Let me know which piece of coax was bad under my house instead of replacing all of them!

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.

This is the basic pocket toner that I have used for years. Great build. Made of all metal.

Just what I needed

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.

We recently moved into an older home that had a control panel for the phones, ethernet and coax hookups. Problem was, it was a mess! Nothing was labeled, nothing was properly hooked up or split with the main line, the Xfinity guy that set everything up for us only got the downstairs one working, but since we didnt have TVs in the house yet he couldnt test if the other ones worked. Which is crazy because I feel like he must have had a similar tool like this to test it, but he didnt want to try I guess. So instead of calling and dealing with another tech, I thought with the power of the internet and this tool I could do it myself, and I was! I was able to identify which coax cables went to where and get them all labeled and now have working cables in all rooms. It didnt come with instructions, but its not too hard to figure out. The bottom section under where you unscrew for the battery. is the little speaker. So just pop the main unit (L shape one) onto where the line youre testing and then just go to the other end wherever that may be and then screw on the speaker into each line until you hear a high pitch noise, and BAM thats your line. Super easy peasy.

This device saved me hours of work and helped me complete an enormous home re-cabling project! I would recommend a special packaging note about no signal trace through splitters. This is the top tool I will always have when dealing with coax cabling!

Needed something to identify our new comstruction cable wiring. Pulled this out of package, inserted supplied battery, hooked it up to room jack and headed to the basement. 2nd stripped coax wire provided the tone needed! Done. Took me 2 mins to stip and ID the wire I needed! You do need to have an exposed copper center wire for it to work.
