- The Underground Toner saves us a LOT of digging time. We use this to find the exact location of wires through walls, ceilings, floors and even underground to inspect for damage or breakage.
- The Megohmmeter, or “Megger” quickly assesses the condition of insulation on wire, generators, and motor windings. It measures very high resistance values by sending a high-voltage signal into the object being tested. This is especially helpful after smoke, water, or fire damage.
- The Low-Voltage Troubleshooting Tool diagnoses problems in lines like phone, ethernet, or cable. It can find damage in a multi-wire assembly and determine how far away the damage is located.
