Southwire KIT, T200K MULITPURPOSE TONE & PROBE

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.

Really great tester. A bit more expensive than other options, but you get what you pay for. Nice case to hold sender and receiver.

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.

It really works and has several adaptors

Compact but multi function tracer...super price

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.

It needs female-female connectors for LAN and coax. Other than that the product works great

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 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.
