Shoutout to the $300 Klein cable toner that saved my butt yesterday

I bought it thinking it was overkill, but it pinpointed a cut line buried in a wall in under five minutes. My buddy says a $50 toner does the same job and I wasted cash. Who's right, are the high-end toners worth it or just shiny toys?

Your buddy saying a $50 toner does the same job is missing the point. The cheap ones work on a quiet line, but they choke with any interference. That Klein can cut through the noise when you have other wires or power nearby. You didn't waste cash, you paid for the tool to work on the hard jobs, not the easy ones. That's why it found your cut so fast.

Man, @cole_miller nailed it. It's like the difference between a cheap paintbrush and a pro one, they both put paint on the wall but one makes the hard parts easy. You buy the good tool for when things go wrong, not when they're going right.
