Easy to use I have really enjoyed using the tester. It makes my job as a cable technician a lot easier. I just wish that I would stop losing the colored toners. I keep having to buy the whole product. I would like to be able to buy just the colored toners.

Quit after 2 weeks Worked great for about two weeks, now the tester will not read continuity from any of the remotes even if they are plugged directly to tester. Very disappointed.

Better features, replaceable batteries. Bought this to resolve a multiple cabling conflict. Worked great. This device was cheaper than the competition which was also a disposable model.

Came with dead batteries glued together I bought this from lowes looking to trace some lines quickly and resolve some hookups. The batteries were glued together and after getting them separated and installed only to find them dead. So now back to the store to pay an additional $8 on batteries to be able to use the tool. Very annoyed. Once I got it working it worked well. Just work on your packaging!

Good tool, but one shortcoming. Very good tool, but there needs to be a “snap on” holder for the ‘remote terminals’. I know these exist because I have seen them on-line from competitors. The remotes are easily misplaced. Please consider for future Improvement.
