Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Fluke PRO3000 Tone and Probe Kit
Customer Review: Could be great with a few modifications
Summary: 3 Stars
I have never used another tone and probe kit but I have read reviews of other brands and many say they aren't sensitive enough to work behind walls. I think this one would work fine behind walls because it can sense from more than 1'-1.5' away from the wire. It also has a neat feature that if you short the wire your are connected to it will change the pattern of the tone letting you know for sure you have the correct wire. However this device falls short in two areas.
1) Build quality: like another review stated the volume thumb wheel knob has little raised spots so you can get some friction with the your thumb to increase the volume. This is great...however the body of the device is a bit small and when the raised areas on the knob try to go past the body of the probe, it hangs and you have to push really hard to get it to snap past it. I will need to take the probe apart and file off a bit of the body for more clearance.
2) Connectors: This device only has the bare wire clips and an old telephone RJ11. No RJ45, no coax, or any other type of connection. Another brand I almost purchased that is twenty five dollars less came with RJ45, RJ11, Coax, bare wire clips, and even fuse blade type ends so that you can plug in to a fuse box on an automobile. So of you want to connect to an ethernet receptacle on the wall you would have to cut an ethernet cable and pull out the bare wires to clip to. Also the same for Coax.
So this device is twenty five dollars more and I am going to have to make special cables for testing coax, rj45, and automobile fuse box....and I will have to disassemble the probe to fix the volume knob. If I knew the other device was a sensitive as this one then I would just send this back and get the Sperry ET64220. Also, the Sperry has audible and visual indication. This fluke only has audible.
Description of Fluke PRO3000 Tone and Probe Kit
Use the SmartTone capability of the Pro3000 Analog Tone Generator to identify the right pair. When touching the wires together and momentarily shorting the far end of a cable pair, the SmartTone technology will change the cadence of the tone generated. This tone change you hear through the probe positively verifies the correct wire pair. SmartTone provides five distinct tones for exact pair identification.Tools & Testers
