will: I worked as a cable man for about a year and in that time I used three different Tone & Probe kits. They ranged from the cheap $30 T&P's to the Fluke Filtered T&P featured on this Amazon page.
Here is my 2 cents, if your a DIY home repairman and will only use this tool once or twice a year then get the cheaper T&P's on the market. If this is your job and you're day to day, week to week, or even month to month requires you to tone lines out...Get a Fluke. Your reputation depends on a tool that won't make you look stupid in front of the customer.
I've worked on active networks with PoE, to running phone lines, and Coax. The Fluke just works (if you know what you're doing). On active networks this becomes difficult, since your networking equipment is designed to filter out unwanted signal (including your tone generator). The trick is to use a banjo and only connect one of the alligator clips (Not Both) to keep your signal from getting grounded out on Active networks.
I no longer work for the ISP as a Cable Man, I now work for myself. The first thing I did was buy the filtered T&P from Fluke. The toner is light enough to hang off existing runs...

Schmude: Endlich habe ich ein Leitungssuchgerät das auch wirklich funktioniert.
Es ist recht Robust und mit der Aufbewahrungstasche eine Sichere Angelegenheit.
Kann es wirklich sehr Empfehlen.

Ken - Boston: Good, but not much better than the one that came with the Fluke toner. Both are good, so this one is just extraneous.

Mr. Martin Offer: I do a lot of work in old sawmills where we install new machinery. A few times now, we will just do an upgrade to a network , and will lose an ethernet cable or 3. On the tester, I took off the RJ11 and installed a female RJ45 end. Now I can hook up the tester to the ethernet cable and find out exactly which cable is which

Amadeus Kozslowszkyi: Der Tongenerator gehört zu den besten auf dem Markt. In Kombination mit dem "Probe-II Induktiver Empfänger" von TREND Networks ein unschlagbares Duo um CAT-Leitungen aufzuspüren.
Die beiden Geräte spielen so gut zusammen, man könnte glauben es sei digital - ist es aber nicht. Der Gesamtpreis ist mit ca. 160€ sicherlich kein Schnäppchen, aber es lohnt sich.
