VDV500-820 Wire Tracer Tone Generator and Probe Kit Continuity Tester for Ethernet, Telephone, Speaker, Coax, Video, and Data Cables, RJ45, RJ11, RJ12

Yep nice and loud, traces wires easily, lots of modes. Specifically I used it to map out the ethernet in the house as the previous owners did not, worked great for that. I think it also has automotive use cases and I will love testing those out as well.

Great tool for tracing and testing cables. The tone generator is clear, and the probe is easy to use even in noisy environments. Build quality feels solid, and it works well for Ethernet and phone lines. Very reliable for quick diagnostics

Great tool, I am not an electrical expert, but I have done my fair share of electrical work. I got stumped trying to find the source of a light switch and this helped me track it back to an outlet that should not have been on a light circuit. Would not have been able to trace it back any other way. Also found out once it was hooked up that I had a short to ground that I was able to correct. Very easy to use just watch a couple of Youtube videos. Well worth the price versus calling an electrician in to troubleshoot and repair.

Works as expected. Not very fond of the case it comes with because its just a bag and the tip of the probe can be damaged. Looking around for a hard case. Other than that issue its a solid tool. Easy to use and understand.

Excellent tool. It made it very easy to easy to trace AC wires in my house walls (power disconnected). The volume selection, tone selection, indicator light, and little flashlight are very helpful. I also like that it uses AAA batteries so I can use rechargeable ones.

I had all the outlets from one breaker go out...but breaker was fine. Was at the end of my patience and ordered this toner and probe. I watched a view youtube videos on how to calibrate it and within minutes I found my problem. The tool worked perfectly. However, do NOT use the batteries it came with. Upon delivery I put the batteries in, played with it for awhile, to be sure I knew how to use. The next day I get out, ready to trace. The probe turns out, but won't pick up the signal from the toner. I was stumped, it worked 12 hours earlier. I decide to package it up and return, which meant removing the brand news batteries it came with. Opened the battery case and found one battery had leaked all over the inside. I took it out, cleaned it up and put in fresh batteries and worked great. Tool great, batteries very bad!!!

I had moved breakers and wires around in my in house breaker panel and long story short, my kitchen AC is on a single breaker and the outlet had no power anymore. Drove myself nuts for days trying to figure out what I did wrong. Finally purchased this toner and watched Youtube videos and still had no luck, very frustrating . Till today, 4-27-25, heres what I did to trace a 20 amp wire from the outlet to the breaker box. Shut off the main breaker ( whole house ) , then disconnected the Black Hot wire, White Neutral, Bare Ground from the outlet plug itself. Then I attached the RED clip from the toner to the BARE copper end of the Black Hot wire. Then I attached the BLACK clip of the toner to the BARE ground wire coming to the outlet. I then turned the toner to the highest tone setting. Then I turned up the volume on the tracer end and I had one black wire that I had cut for some reason, and that wire I held the tracer against. That was my wire omitting the tone. FINALLY found my issue, so this toner / tracer does WORK. It was probably at least 30ft from the outlet to the breaker box. One Youtube video, the guy explained that you have to trace with the LIGHT, NOT THE TONE. Well thats B.S !!
