Klein ToolsVDV500-820 Wire Tracer Tone Generator and Probe Kit Continuity Tester for Ethernet, Telephone, Speaker, Coax, Video, and Data Cables, RJ45, RJ11, RJ12

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 !!

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.

I borrowed a friends Klein tester/line tracer and was so impressed with how it worked I bought one myself. Great for home, auto, or electronics
