Southwire KIT, T200K MULITPURPOSE TONE & PROBE

I actually bought this at Frys. Didnt work right of the box. I really liked the design and simplicity of it. To bad they dont work.

It’s already broken this isn’t well made I was toning out a cable and the clip stayed on the cable and the device just broke off

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

Love this thing. Compact, various connectors work flawlessly, and to top it all off its cheaper than competitors and it actually works better than the Fluke I had (the blue one). At low gain I can pinpoint cables with accuracy and precision and the probe will be nice and loud even at low gain.

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.

It really works and has several adaptors

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.

Just like the other reviewer, I purchased this from Lowes. I returned the first one since one of the unit would not turn ON. The second one that I bought had the other unit not powering up. Good thing was I tested it at Lowes parking lot. So I was frustrated and was going to return the second one as well. But as I was removing the batteries to return the second one, I noticed the problem was the battery connectors. The diagram shows that the user is supposed to put the batteries in criss-cross, so that batteries are in series circuit even though they are side-by-side. This is what I did. The problem is, even though the batteries go in criss-cross, the spring connectors for the batteries negative connectors are on the same side! Meaning one is being used for the batteries positive end (the nipple one). Since the batteries are AAA, the positive nipple part goes in the middle of the spring and does not make contact with the battery.... unless your batterys top/positive end has exposed connector across the top. This is true for the pair of panasonic I had, but not the rechargeable eneloop batteries. This means the ones I had a pair of eneloop batteries was not turning on because the spring was not making contact with the battery. I swapped the batteries and saw the one I thought was broken turn ON. I decided to keep it since I really need it for the new house with coax and cat5 connectors that are not labeled. I put it away for a couple of months and when I used it again, one of the battery spring came off. This is because there is no way to take out the inner battery without hitting the spring for the outer battery, so the spring for the outer battery came off. TLDR: Very expensive for a unit with really bad design.

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

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.
