Customer Review: Wire Lost in wall
Summary: 5 Stars
This helped me find several wires that got sheetrocked over and saved a lot of time and work. No more cut out sheetrock to patch.Customer Review: Fluke tone & probe
Summary: 5 Stars
This device works well. The tone has a two-tone option which sounds like a car alarm. Very recognizable. Comes in a holster.Customer Review: OK but not to Fluke quality standards.
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this item to trace electric wire behind drywall. I tested the item using a known wire path and found the tone to be very soft. Only when I brought the probe close to the tone generator itself did the tone become loud enough to be very noticeable. I purchased a head set for the probe which made the soft tone easier to hear but still the loudness of the tone was very disappointing and made tracing wires difficult.
I then discovered by putting some force on the volume knob it seemed to pop out of a detent and rotate about another 180 degrees. The tone then became very loud. The full range of the volume control knob is about 270-300 degrees rather than the 90 degrees that I initially experienced.
This item, though well constructed, is made in China and the volume control knob is notchy and rather crude feeling. The Pro3000 is not of the same quality as the Fluke meters that I have at least in the moving parts category.

Summary: 4 Stars
I use this product in an industrial environment to trace control circuits of machinery and equipment, most of which does not have a circuit print or circuit log. It is an invaluable aid for this purpose. The advantage it gives, over conventional continuity testers, is: 1) the ability to trace a circuit through one of several conduits so I don't end up opening 10 different junction boxes to find out if the circuit I'm looking for is in here. 2) I can trace circuits without assistance, and usually faster than using conventional methods with two people. 3) I was able to locate a severed conductor inside the conduit run. The only disadvantage I have found with this tool; it gets lonley in the tool box and goes looking for human attention, therefore when I go to get it I have to search and usually find it in the hands of one of the other five technicians in our facility.Customer Review: PRO3000 Tone & Probe Kit
Summary: 4 Stars
If you looking for an inexpensive tool to find a wire behind a wall this is the tool. By sending a tone through the wire it is possible to trace the wire through walls without opening the wall. Of course it is also great for finding wires within bundles. I purchased this to replace another probe that could not detect wires within the walls. The only reason I did not give this a 5 was that at the highest volumes I found the internal speaker to be noisy. It would be nice if there was a noise damping circuit on it so when no tone is detected it is quite.
