Does it work with electrical circuits?
A shopper

BEST ANSWER:If you mean typucal home AC circuits, then no. It's designed for low voltage circuits. It's voltage protection has a maximum of 60V AC, which is obviously too low for home AC circuits. It would work on circuits not yet carrying voltage (disconnected circuits), but definitely not on connected circuits.

Can I use this through drywall? I have one end of speaker wire exposed. The other end is hidden in the drywall somewhere and I would need to trace the wire through the drywall to find it.
I needed to identify the coax cables in the cable box on the side of my house and this little tool worked great. Not the most industrial looking tool but it did the job.
Does what it claims to do, craftsmanship could be better
Worked for what I needed; toning out CAT6 and terminating them in a home. The only issue I had was with the battery cover on the back of the receiver, it wouldn't stay in place so I had to use some tape to keep it in place.
This product has been amazing. The Last one I had, (not this one) I couldn’t figure out how to use. Once I got this, put the included batteries in and was able to start hardening my network. It has been amazing.
This was the lowest priced tone and probe set I could find when I needed to troubleshoot a couple of network runs. It works perfectly, with one cable end with an RJ45 plug plugging directly into the tone generator.
Best wire tracer Iâ??ve ever owned. Both ends have rj45 jacks, the test tone is very loud on the other end, and the test tone can be changed between two tones.
I bought my first toner about 15 years ago and wasn't too happy with it because I couldn't hear the tone in a noisy environment which is very common on construction sites. It was a major brand (Ideal) that I bought from Home Depot and it cost twice as much as this Monoprice unit. This Monoprice unit is far superior to my prior unit.
The Monoprice unit comes in a very nice cordura case which can be carried on your belt. The buzzer is louder than my previous toner but this one comes with a small set of earbuds in case you're in a noisy situation. Another big bonus with this unit is that it also has a flashing LED. So it notifies you both ways: by ear AND by sound.
My only complaint is the instruction booklet doesn't make sense. It's written in another country obviously because it doesn't do English very well. The inferior User Guides seems to be a common customer complaint to Monoprice, So I hope they are listening and will adress this problem with all their products.
This unit still gets 5 stars because I know of no better value anywhere.
