You can also use this to find an open circuit or shorted wire the fast, non destructive (no drywall holes!) easy way. The tone generator and probe can be used with ANY wire! They come with all kinds of adapters for ethernet etc. You can use this in automotive diagnostics as well if you suspect a short in your wiring loom.
Not only can you find what breaker the wire is attached to, you can also find out how many outlets or lights are on that circuit by simply waving the toner wand around near the outlet, switch or light fixture. In addition to all of this, you can also move the wand over the drywall the wire is behind and find out the exact path the wire is taking. This can be a valuable tool when it comes to testing and finding the wire route through the wall. The most important thing to remember is to NEVER use the toner generator on a live circuit. You will destroy your generator.
