Specialist Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) On small installs it's not too much of a problem doing it the old way but on bigger stuff it used to be a pain. Edited June 3, 2019 by Specialist Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.

Specialist Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Well the Ideal abs arrived and have to say: I'm totally underwhelmed with it, nothing like Ideal stuff I've used in the past. This feels cheap & nasty, more like a kids toy to be honest. The tone generator or thrower as they call it uses a non standard battery which will be a pain, luckily the seller put new batteries in so I was able to try it out. Definitely not impressed, you have to be almost on top of the cable to be able to use the tracer. Not had a chance to try the butt test side yet but will give it a try on the weekend and hope that works better. Edited June 7, 2019 by Specialist Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.

Hey Mr H, Don't have a link for it unfortunately but it's the ideal abs tone thrower and probe. It was only a cheap thing where I bought it but apparently they're normally about £70, so would have expected more. Probably something else where production has been transferred to Asia.

Ideal are good Is it blue in colour? Although they have few versions older ones were good Quote
Specialist Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Hi Al: I used to use ideal testers and never had a problem with them, but this is nowhere like them. Yes mate, it's blue in colour. Quote Customers Love us, Intruders Hate us.
