### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic products. Works really well to help find issues and cables.
*by T***W on November 13, 2025*

This thing paid for itself first time I used it I could not figure for the life of me why I was not getting a good connection after changing out all my cables to cat 6 two or three of them were not working properly due to a cut wire right by the termination. I was ready to replace the whole wire thing it was somewhere else but when I bent The wire and hit test it showed that it worked and passed and then I've been to the game and it failed. Totally worth the money
