  • Find where the problem is fast and easy! Save time and money on an electrician
Style: Analog Pattern Name: Tracer
I didn't know this tool existed. I saw a video on Youtube when trying to find out why one of my plugs wasn't getting power. I was so frustrated i was about to start carving holes in my walls to figure the problem. This tool lead me right to the problem. A plug in a diffrent room was wired poorly and i was able to fix it in minutes! What a life saver! Works well: It gives off a strong signle even when your far away from the plug so it's very easy to track down the problem ... show more

  • Use It Correctly
Style: Analog Pattern Name: Tracer
I had moved breakers and wires around in my in house breaker panel and long story short, my kitchen AC is on a single breaker and the outlet had no power anymore. Drove myself nuts for days trying to figure out what I did wrong. Finally purchased this toner and watched Youtube videos and still had no luck, very frustrating . Till today, 4-27-25, heres what I did to trace a 20 amp wire from the outlet to the breaker box. Shut off the main breaker ( whole house ) , then disconnected the Black Hot wire, White Neutral, Bare Ground from the outlet plug itself. Then I attached the RED clip from the toner to the BARE copper end of the Black Hot wire. Then I attached the BLACK clip of the toner to the BARE ground wire coming to the outlet. I then turned the toner to the highest tone setting. Then I turned up the volume on the tracer end and I had one black wire that I had cut for some reason, and that wire I held the tracer against. That was my wire omitting the tone. FINALLY found my issue, so this toner / tracer does WORK. It was probably at least 30ft from the outlet to the breaker box. One Youtube video, the guy explained that you have to trace with the LIGHT, NOT THE TONE. Well thats B.S !! ... show more

  • Tool is great but the carry case is worthless
Style: Digital and Analog Pattern Name: Tracer
The tool is great for the tracing of wires. Very pleased. Good sound. Can't ask for anything else with the tool. My only complaint is with the carry bag. The tool hardly fits and has a hard time zipping up with the tool in it. For a tool this sensitive, a hard case would have been reasonable to provide. But this case was not made for this device. I will buy the appropriate case separately. ... show more

I recently had the chance to test out the Klein Tools VDV500-820 Wire Tracer, and I’m really impressed with its performance. If you’re working in electrical or telecom troubleshooting, this tool is a real lifesaver.
