    Nice piece of kit

Fact that set includes id plugs is a bonus, makes work much easier if your network is not labeled.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Probe power too easily turned on
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States on 17 September 2022*

My only complaint is in the design, the power button on the probe unit naturally gets pressed when the kit is closed, meaning if it’s off before you close it, it turns on when closed, dead batt. But minor - great tool. -a networking professional
