Excellent low cost cable tester with a lot of functionality
Excellent low cost cable tester. This unit, the VDV770-853, comes with POE testing which is essential. High quality case with rubber grips and highly visible back-lit display. This kit come with the Test + Map remotes, which is essential for the units advanced functionality. The equipment comes in an excellent padded case that holds the rTest + Map emotes, cables, unit, and has a space for the VDV500-123 Analog Probe (not included). Long story short, this is an excellent network cable tester!

Paid for itself on its first job
This set was a life saver on its first outing. We had to build several CAT6 cables for a project and the test capabilities of this device paid themselves immediately. First, we were able to determine with ease if the cables were built right, and also identify on which cable we were with the included remotes. Also, having the capability to audio tone them out gave this design a better working piece of equipment. The included case has a nicely built, durable design to hold all the equipment and test cabling. All in all a great buy.

Klein Works Fine. I Dont Think Its A Fluke.
Good for finding wires and testing ends. Thats pretty much all I use it for. I did run into some wires it didnt like. Or maybe I just had a container of defective ends but we just kept on replacing them until it was happy. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ Sorta. Either way its good to know I guess instead of just standing around scratching ur head all "Hmm. Dis dont work. ๐ค" It usually just agrees with me and I like that. All like see its good. So I dont need to do it again.

Mostly disappointed in Amazon for this issue...
I just received my Klein Scout Pro 3 tester just in time for the job I am on this week. However, when I opened up the case this is what I saw, 5 remotes, fantastic, the only problem is that instead of #2-#6 I have #2-#5 and an additional #5. So I contacted Amazon and since they are the clearing house for the manufacturers/companies they should be able to rectify this, right? Not so, Amazons representative said that I either keep it as is or return for refund, not really an option since I will be using it two days from now. As for Amazon, this is a simple thing, you should have helped me get a return for the extra #5 and sent me a #6, period! Klein, this could very well be a one in a million problem, I love your products and will continue to purchase them, however, in the past several years I have noticed that manufacturers/companies/service organizations are really falling short on their QC/Customer Support (Amazon) and really hope that this is not something that is happening more often than I hope it isn't. Thank you Klein for making such great products.

Great diagnostic tool
We greatly appreciated this tool when running CAT8 cable from our main house to a large detached RV garage. The older testing devices kept giving an error due to the length of the run. We were primarily using female CAT8 punch down terminals and felt reassured once we had confirmed our wiring before speed testing. The wire length feature was also very nice and accurate. We made over 20 connections for this run of wiring, as our use of technology continues to expand with time. Now our pool controls, lighting, A/C and heating, locks, and many more devices are now all connected and running over very fast backbone. The individual location beacons were also great when confirming multiple runs in an area. I would highly recommend for any IT professional or amateur/DIY computer enthusiast who is running new computer network cables. This is a great tool to have available to test circuits and even patch cables.

Remotes are nice
It's easy to use and the multiple remotes make it easy to map multiple wires at the same time from the patch panel without having to walk back and forth for each cable.
