Coaxial Pocket Toner Pocket Continuity Tester(Tracer) and Toner with Light&Buzzer Voltage Toner and Barrel Connector Bundle for Testing Coax Cable, RG6, RG59, CATV Wire Tracer

Worked Great! Simple to use, good value!

Simple to use, nicely made. It’s not a defect, but users should know that if there’s a splitter in the line they are testing, so it isn’t continuous, the tone won’t sound. Not a defect, but a complication when testing old wiring of unknown configuration. Works great for what it’s intended.

This worked perfectly. You unscrew the tone generator from the end of the handle and onto the RG6 cable. At the other end of the cable, slip the cable into the fitting. If you got it right, the LED at the top of the handle will light up and the tne will be heard at the other end. If there is a short in your cable this tool will show there is a connection - even if there is not. This will only work on RG6 type coaxial cable, not ethernet or anything else. Contractor had left a mess of cables at my son's house, no connectors on them. I used a stripper and compression fitting tool and then sorted them out one-by-one until we had them all figured out and labeled. Of course, one of the fittings they had installed was shorted, that had us scratching our heads for a minute.

Works extremely well for short cable runs (25 feet or less). Longer runs, the tone does not activate - just a little static.

It is simple to use and nearly foolproof. I needed to trace a coax wall outlet in a guest bedroom of our new house back to an unlabeled bundle of coax in the basement at the point where the service enters the house. The previous owner nor their builder had ever labeled any of the coax routed throughout the house. I loaded a AAA battery into the tool, unscrewed the receiver/toner from the base and plugged the unit into the bedroom wall connection. Then I went to the basement and started screwing the receiver into the connectors on the various cables until I got to the one with the tool at the other end and a tone emitted from the end of the receiver. I then labeled that cable appropriately. By moving the tool to the coax in each room you can easily identify them one by one. Simple but effective.

Works perfectly. I like that when you attach the speaker to the body, it turns off the battery so you can store it. Helped us sniff out where the COAX cables in the house were going. We found the one we were looking for, but another one just goes, I don't know, NOWHERE? You can detect from either end of the cable with the red light or speaker. Just get your assistant on the phone and they can hear the tone. Cons: The instructions are not very helpful. It's not super-intuitive how this works, so a short demo video would have been helpful.

A must have tool for your home if you are trying to trace lines and figure out what room goes to what line I the basement - especially after you buy a home that over the course of 30 years has had at least three different companies in there running lines all over the place - made it very easy to clean up a mess

Does not work with splitter transformers in the line. It is robust and as a continuity tester it works ok.
