[A Little Short]

I have (had) this toner:
Fluke Networks PRO3000 Tone and Probe Kit

I needed to use it today and it isn't in my van. I think it's been a month or so since I used it and really don't know what could have happened to it.
Have you seen it?:jester:


What I would like to know is if I should re-order the same thing or is there something better?


I mainly use it to locate electrical wires. It works well but is limited if wires are in conduit. Also can't trace live wires.


Given that I mainly need for electrical, what would be a good tracer or toner to buy?

All I can say is do not buy this hunk of junk, no matter how cheap it appears. You'll be happy if it walks away.

I liked my Fluke but thought since I have to get another I might just upgrade some.

Well , trace backwards in your log book to see where you were using it last, and start looking there. It might be right where you left it. You do keep a log right?????

The last place I remember using it I have been back there a few times. I've been in every room there (empty house) and didn't notice it. Of course I wasn't looking for it either!:no:

Remember, shemalemember.. Look in your log book.

Even though I have some fancy tracing equipment in the truck a basic toner set gets the most use.

If I was you I would get another toner and also look to getting a powerful live tracing tool. The one I have can trace through conduits and armored cables on its highest settings

A few of my tools have found a new home in someone's attic!:laughing:

But I haven't had the toner in an attic.

The company I work for owns the Ideal 61-959 SureTrace kit. We have owned it for about two years and the guys have loved it. The kit mentioned above includes a battery pack, inductive clamp, test leads, alligator clips, outlet plug adapter, and blade prongs.

I found one of these on top of a meter a few years ago. Can't be yours, but I bet the cable guy is bummed out :laughing:

 

[macmikeman]

Score! Now the thread is even...

Stick with the fluke for your basic toning needs. Best of the less expensive tone kits I have used in the last couple of years.

When I was getting fiber installed the guy left me a really nice hammerdrill and cordless drill. Unfortunately he called the next day looking for them.

Progressive/Tempo and Aines are my choices for tone generators/tone probes.
