Pros: Does what's it supposed to.Easy to use.
Cons: As others says. It's pretty cheap and flimsy.The battery compartment is a tad small for most 9v batteries and need to be forced in. Might crack if the plastic gets brittle with time.
Other Thoughts: Nothing much to say - you probably already know what it's for :)
Bottomline: Building your own cables or often having doubts about a cable working correctly? If yes, then you need a cable tester. May spare you for a lot of gray hairs :)But please consider if this is appropriate for you or if you want spend a few dollars more for better quality.
Pros: Very useful tool. Works good. Just check the contact between the wires on the network cable. Can check phone cables too, that is good.
Cons: Very fragile. Made of a thin plastic. The battery must be "forced" in because there is no much space to fit it.
Other Thoughts: Maybe it was designed to low power consuption and don´t need to change the battery frequently. But mine is rechargeable, and I sure need to use it in another devices.
Bottomline: Good device. Does what it was designed to. Bad build quality, but cheap. If you use with careful, and are just an amateur like me, I think it worths the buy. For professional heavy duty use, I would not choose this.
Pros: - very cheap- small size- nice looking- very light of weight
Cons: - the Buildt Quality is the worst i've ever seen (brocken in the first 20 Minutes of ownership)
Other Thoughts: I don't know if every one is buildt so worse like mine, but i decided to choose one more expensive and hope that this would work better. I think this would be a nice tool to check the network cables easily if it works.Shipping: the shipping self took about 8 Workdays (really fast for some 1000's Kilometers) and it was packed really good.
Bottomline: i would buy it again (for this price is not much thrown away if it breaks ;-) )
