Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, and toxic gas which is a byproduct of incomplete combustion. For HVAC technicians who work on combustion equipment like furnaces, water heaters, and boilers as part of their job, CO is occupational hazard. CO can also threaten the health and safety of people who live and work near combustion equipment which emits excessive amounts of the gas into the ambient air.

Klein Tools continues its march in to the Test and Measurement segment with the new Commander Voice/Data/Video Cable Testers. This new meter is one the most technical meter Klein has offered yet. The new VDV501-828 and VDV501-829 Commander are full featured Cable testers that can locate, test and measure data, telephone, and coaxial cabling.

Klein Tools may be a new name in Test and Measurement, but they are legendary in quality and performance. They have entered the Test and Measurement with quite a splash and are continuing that trend with the Klein Tools VDV501-815 TDR Ranger Kit. This multi-function tester is a powerhouse that can handle TDR, Cable Length Measurement, Fault Finding and Cable Management.

Today we are entering the exciting world of video borescopes! Ok, it might not be the most exciting world to be in, but I will try my best to imagine. When I first received this assignment to preview the Klein Tools ET500 I was not exactly thrilled. I was expecting more of the same that you usually get in the price point this instrument falls in. Normally you would get a borescope that is awkward to use with flimsy probes that don’t hold form very well.

Have you ever had $100 in your pocket and asked yourself, “Man, I’d really love a high quality Cable Tester, but all I have is $100”? Well, have I got news for you sonny! The VDV Scout Pro Tester Kit is a great Cable Tester and can easily be found for under $100.
