Triplett Fox 2 & Hound 3 Probe Kit
Triplett's Fox & Hound Series test kits can tone and trace just about any wiring you can find. Use the Fox 2 & Hound 3 Probe Kit to identify, locate, and trace wires, cables, and other conductors.
The Fox 2 toner sends a signal through your wire or cable. Then the Hound 3 tracer helps you locate the wire, even behind drywall, wood, or plastic. Follow it all the way to the other end. Then you can make appropriate attachments or label the wire for future use.
The Fox 2 & Hound 3 is an excellent choice for installation technicians who are completing work on telephone, electrical, security, or audio/video projects where no wiring plans exist. The Fox & Hound makes quick work out of determining which wire out of the bundle feeds what location. No more trial and error connections.
We make buying easy with discounts, upgraded shipping, and price matching on most purchases.
