Feature loaded and easy to use tool
This is a really great tester. Having the ability to identify lines when you have a bunch of drops was fantastic. I used it to debug a flaky line that had break near the connector. I could watch the lines drop in and out and identify the issue quickly. The built in remote (ID 1) is detached from the unit and checks phone, ethernet and coax. With this you can verify proper pair connectivity and wire length. The kit also came with 5 identifier units (ID1 - ID5) for both coax and ethernet, but these are only checking wire pair 3-6. I kinda wish they had given ID2 through ID6 and I could have used the main unit as an extra connectivity check, but 5 is better than 1. Unit is really solid and comfortable to hold. The display is simple, but easy to read and backlit on demand, so very useful when in the bottom of a wiring closet. This is a tool I wish I had gotten a long time ago. It takes the guesswork out of small issues and can really save some time for those bigger jobs.

Best option in the price range.
Best option in this price range. Works well and has lots of features. Great for identifying cables. Could be built a little tougher.

Good basic scanner, does the most needed functions for cable scans and testing, durable so far
I needed a good cable tester, but didn't want to spend $350-$500 to replace my old unit. This had all the basic features, cable test, tone, one remote, hub blink, backlight for display. I got the kit with a few additional remotes too for multiple cable scans. So far so good. I've used Klein hand tools for years and the cable scanner seems to be in line with their quality. It is a basic scanner though, and the cost reflects that. Seems to be durable so far, would recommend a case.

All readings not correct
It worked for few days, after that always gives Failed POE hight voltage even if the the cable working fine and Fluke device showed the connection is Passed. Also measuring the cable distance keeps changing each few seconds
