Metal definitely interferes with the signal. I was not able to follow a wiring harness through a vehicle (looking for a short). So I would not expect it to work through conduit.
But this is a solid price. I bought one to gift an aspiring electrician.

So the only use case is tracing a run of paired wires from end to end.
It won't do anything fancy like trace back to the breaker.
The only major difference is the generator end on this one has socketed probes, while the cheaper one is soldered in.
It looks like both use the same gauge wire, so the chances of breaking them at some point are pretty equal. Although, I can't seem to find a replacement for the Fluke.
Can't tone through metal conduit, but if you can find a junction box or any place it breaks out , you can do it.
You can do coax too, good for reusing the miles of abandoned RG6 that Comcrap leaves behind.

I'm sure the Fluke is more durable and will last longer, but for general home use the above is great especially if you run ethernet.
