Poor Performance, Not Worth the Money

Based on our own experience, this silicone adhesive was a total waste of time and money. The tone generator probe failed to perform as advertised, resulting in a frustrating and time-consuming experience..

Pros
  • Pro: None
Cons
  • Con: Poor Performance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Filters 60Hz noise very well

For category 6 cable this is a very good set. The tone generator is powerful and the probe is powerful and does a great job of filtering out 60Hz noise. I also have a Tempo 200EP and the Tempo is a bit louder, but the Hobbes is MUCH better at filtering out 60Hz noise. A great buy for the price.

Pros
  • 3 color LED indicator to check phone line polarity, continuity and voltage
Cons
  • Requires outlet
