Lowe'sDeal Details
This is a great price for this quality tool which is usually well north of $100 dollars, currently it is $150 on Amazon. I found 6 of these at my local Lowe's store (45324) in "The Back Aisle". There are other popular brands like Ideal and Klein but Fluke is known brand amongst the industry. MSRP on Fluke's site is $164.31.
This is an invaluable tool for troubleshooting cabling and wiring for phone and network issues.

The Fluke Networks PRO3000 tone generator and probe kit is a handy wire tracer for identifying the right cable in a bundle, especially for home networking, speaker runs, and other low voltage wiring. It can help follow a tone through walls, attics, patch panels, and home runs, and the probe gets louder as you close in on the target. It only works on unpowered wires, and access to at least one end of the wire is needed. The kit is a practical pick for tracing and labeling lines when the wiring path is already accessible.
Common Questions (4)
It injects a tone onto one end of a wire, then the probe picks up that signal at the other end or at a patch panel, keystone jack, or home-run bundle. It is used to identify which cable is which, not to see through walls, so you need access to at least one end of the wire.
It can help follow a cable path by listening for the tone near the likely route, and it has been used to trace wires through walls, attics, and ceiling spaces. It still requires access to the wire end and works by identifying the signal as it gets louder near the target, not by directly seeing through walls.
No, it only works on wires that are not currently powered. For home wiring, the circuit needs to be turned off first; powered-line tracing requires a more expensive version of the tool.
They are typically in Lowe's "back aisle," usually toward the back or side near the back of the store, often marked by a yellow banner with black text. In these stores, the items were not in the low-voltage/networking, electrical, or general tools areas.

Thank you
The outlet is in an Old Work Box, so I pull it out and see that it is the last receptacle of the run, and someone back-stabbed the wires rather than use the screw terminals.
No voltage at all on the Hot wire, so the problem is somewhere upstream.
I hook up my Signal Injector to the Hot wire, and then start waving the probe around other outlets in the kitchen to see where the open circuit is. None of the kitchen or adjoining room's outlets are where the dead wire runs to.
I go into the basement, and the ceiling is plaster and drop-ceiling panels. I wave the wand over the ceiling and pick up the generated tone. I follow it to one of the Recessed Can Lights set in the plaster. I drop the light and the wire is not connected to the junction box, but it is just laying there up in the ceiling rafters.
I pulled the wire back to the utility room and attached it to one of the receptacles. For the first time, the kitchen outlet now has power.....thanks to the PRO3000...
Not currently working, but that's the link.
