Featuring five distinct tone cadences, secure ABN clips, and compatibility with RJ11/RJ45 connectors, it transmits signals over 1,000 feet. The kit also tests continuity and polarity with clear LED indicators and offers a headphone jack for noise-free audio feedback, making it an essential tool for efficient cable troubleshooting and maintenance. ## Description This kit includes the tools necessary to tone and trace wires in common wiring systems. This premium tone generator has Angled Bed of Nails (ABN) clips that securely grip the cable. Tone Generator emits five distinct tones. An RJ11 plug easily connects to telephone or RJ45 data jacks for toning. The toner, also checks continuity and polarity that are indicated by clearly labeled LEDs. The probe traces with the tones signal. The adjustable-volume speaker amplifies the tone. The 3.5 mm jack allows for headphones (sold separately) to be attached in noisy environments. The probe has a tool-less non-metallic durable replaceable tip. The probe enables testing in distribution blocks without disturbing other services. Review: Tracks wires through walls and tiles. - It works quite well. I was able to trace a dead wire to a switch behind drywall and ceramic tiles. It took me much longer to read the instructions than to find the problem. Once you understand how it works in principle it is a wonderful tool. You can trace any dead wire through walls and stone. Saved me from paying an electrician just to come out and point me to a defective ghost switch. Review: BAD BATTERIES!!! - I had all the outlets from one breaker go out...but breaker was fine. Was at the end of my patience and ordered this toner and probe. I watched a view youtube videos on how to calibrate it and within minutes I found my problem. The tool worked perfectly. However, do NOT use the batteries it came with. Upon delivery I put the batteries in, played with it for awhile, to be sure I knew how to use. The next day I get out, ready to trace. The probe turns out, but won't pick up the signal from the toner. I was stumped, it worked 12 hours earlier. I decide to package it up and return, which meant removing the brand news batteries it came with. Opened the battery case and found one battery had leaked all over the inside. I took it out, cleaned it up and put in fresh batteries and worked great. Tool great, batteries very bad!!! ## Features - PROFESSIONAL GRADE TONE GENERATOR: Includes a professional-grade analog tone generator and tracing probe for accurate and efficient tracing of low voltage, open-ended, non-energized wiring (<60V) - VERSATILE TONE CADENCES: Toner-Pro features 5 distinct tone cadences and can transmit signals over 1,000 feet, ensuring reliable tracing capabilities - SECURE WIRE ATTACHMENT: Rugged Angled Bed of Nails (ABN) clips securely attach to wires, providing a stable connection during tracing operations - EASY CONNECTIONS: RJ11 plug easily connects to telephone and data jacks to transmit tone; works with RJ45 via center pins (4 and 5) for effective cable identification - CONTINUITY AND POLARITY TESTING: Toner-Pro tests for continuity and polarity, with clearly labeled LEDs indicating the results for easy interpretation - NOISE-REDUCING HEADPHONE JACK: Probe-Pro features a 3.5 mm headphone jack (headphones not included) for use in noisy environments, ensuring clear audio feedback during tracing - EASY TRACING: Trace wires in bundles or accessible runs; does not trace through drywall or solid barriers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VYN98QV | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,218 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #5 in Network & Cable Testers | | Brand | KLEIN TOOLS | | Brand Name | KLEIN TOOLS | | Color | Beige | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 4,277 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00092644692192 | | Included Components | Tone and Probe PRO Kit | | Item Dimensions | 3 x 7 x 3 inches | | Item Type Name | Wire Tracer Kits | | Item Weight | 1.3 pounds | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 3 x 7 x 3 inches | | Manufacturer | Klein Tools | | Measurement Type | Ohmmeter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 9 volts | | Model | VDV500-820 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | VDV500-820 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Style | Analog | | Style Name | Analog | | UPC | 092644692192 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 122 °F | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Brand:** KLEIN TOOLS - **Color:** Beige - **Item Weight:** 1.3 pounds - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** Analog ## Images ![Klein Tools VDV500-820 Wire Tracer Tone Generator and Probe Kit Continuity Tester for Ethernet, Telephone, Speaker, Coax, Video, and Data Cables, RJ45, RJ11, RJ12 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/613iJUF15nL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: will it trace a single wire** A: I just tried it because I wasn't sure, you won't be able to trace the wire in the wall but you will be able to identify a single conductor when you touch the probe to the other end of it. **Q: I need to trace a 12V wire through an RV to determine where it is shorted; is this device appropriate for this purpose?** A: If you can get to the wire or know where it is running it will work to trace where you are losing power RV walls are pretty thin **Q: Can I use this kit to find a Cat-5 cable behind sheetrock, 2-3 inches at most ? If not, which product does this ?** A: Not sure. You might be able to if you can connect the tone generator to one end of the Cat5 cable. The signal would be very faint, at best, as this device is made for the probe to actually touch the wire. Not familiar with a tone generator that would work this way, but the Home Depot has a device that will allow you to see through walls to see what's behind it. Sound like that would be more what you need. **Q: Will this test camera wires with rj45's at each end to confirm proper connections** A: If you just need to test for continuity then you can put an rj45 jack on each end and tone one end and test the other you can see if you have continuity ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tracks wires through walls and tiles. *by J***G on July 6, 2026* It works quite well.

Tool great, batteries very bad!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Less expensive version of a toner - does not disappoint! *by K***N on June 3, 2024* First off - the description makes note of using this on low voltage. They mention ethernet, thermostat, network, HVAC, etc, etc. I purchased this with the intent on using this on 14 gauge romex and it worked PERFECTLY. (Circuit was off obviously). I needed to chase down some weird line of romex and see where it went so I could remove it form the panel. The toner picked up the wire with ease and I was able to isolate and remove the wire. Pros - I've used the more expensive brand (it's blue in color, every electrician has one) before and it worked well. I can't say this one was any different. And about 1/2 the price. It comes with a case and can even isolate specific pairs in a bundle if you short the correct pairs. Cons - I haven't found any yet. But I will update this if any problems arise. I haven't tried this outside with any buried wires yet. Summary - Great product. Great for tracing low voltage or high voltage capable wires.
