Pros & Cons
Pros
This unit is a vast improvement on the company supplied model and makes the task far easier. The tool feels cheap and * but for the price it is well worth it. Is well worth buying - saves me lots of time.
Gadget has a tone tester with an earphone socket - very useful when testing for a line in an office space (stops people staring at you whilst the scanner is wailing) - as well as a pairs tester for rj45/rj11 plugs and sockets. Traced cables fine.
Cons
Test leads are flimsy and not up to the task. Attempting to contact the supplier, through their customer service portal, was also met with deafening silence. Faulty product, only the reciever works.

Added “probe” for finding cables would be useful for a server room or complicated home network
