Review on 💡 Fluke Networks 26000900 Pro3000 Generator: The Ultimate Testing Tool for Network Professionals by Adam Tidd

The Fluke 3000F-60 Kit may work reasonably well(?) through thin drywall (or maybe wood paneling?) but is useless through plaster. I'm not sure if the problem is with the 3/8" plaster or the metal mesh. There is no point in looking for a cable in a plastered wall. The whole point of the tool is to be able to follow the path of the "dead" conductor when it does. This expensive tool was no better than the $25 cheap one. Despite the cost, the Fluke Pro3000 does not come with batteries. If you go to the store to buy one you really need 2 x 9v batteries. In my desperation I switched on the wrong conductor and traced the wire with a zirconium finderscope with a "live conductor" setting . Rough but effective. And it would save over $100 and 2 days of waiting for this "pro" tool. The tool works great when you can physically see the conductor. This is a very limited use and should be emphasized in the product description, not just carefully omitted. So my 2 stars are generous. The Amprobe AT7030 or the Triplet Fox & Hound tool (available from Revain) can be more versatile than the very limited Fluke 3000F. -60?
