 Find wires behind walls with ease! Dec 11, 2007
By Flashoflight
"Steve"
The Fluke 3000 is a great tool. It's designed use is for the computer and telecommunications fields. But it works great to find wires in walls too.
Ever wonder where that sneaky electrician ran a wire? Turn the circuit off, this tool isn't made to work at 120vac, then connect the transmitter to the wires. As long as the wires are not shorted together (like a light switch turned on, or something plugged in) you will find the wire easily. To make sure you have the correct wires, simply touch them together briefly, and the tone will change, verifying that you have the correct pair.
Works great through lath and plaster walls for pinpoint wire location.

 Pro 3000 Tone and Probe Jul 26, 2008
By Randy L. Wolf
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.

Sniffer a go go go GO Mar 12, 2007
By Donald J. Ashley
"dash man"
I've used several network cabling sniffers over the years. The Fluke unit is by far more sensetive and capable than others I've used. It is fast and easy to use. Uses standard batteries - no need to look for special hearing aid type batteries, simple 9 Volt batteries. having used others in the past, this one struck me with its sensitivity, able to locate wires in wall cavities, seperate leads from with in pairs easily.

Excellent Product -- Highly Recommend Sep 17, 2008
By Goldrush
This product will make my life much easier. I built a large house in Tahoe several years back, and there are many (about 30) CAT 5 / Coax home runs throughout the house that terminate at patch panels in the basement. Trouble is that some were poorly labeled (some have question marks), and some don't work. This tool is very sensitive (gives a tone when you are near the correct wire), and lets me diagnose / fix the problems without the frustration. No doubt, Fluke builds good stuff, and this device is fairly priced. Also bought the Fluke A/C probe that's very nice for about $25.

A MUST FOR ALL ELECTRICIANS Jan 07, 2008
By Albert M. Kruegel
"Traveling Man"
I participate on a Regional Building Committee for Sound System installations and this tool was recommended to me by one of our Senior Regional staff. It has worked perfectly. An example, we had a speaker can installed in the ceiling prior to drywall being installed. The Drywall staff covered over the speaker can and the paint crew then did their job. I came into the room and was able to trace the wire and find the speaker can in the ceiling in the matter of two minutes (literally)! I have used for several other instances and it has proved to be invaluable.
