Tools and Hardware Reviews of Paladin Tools 1574 LAN Cable Check for Testing UTP and Phone Patch Cables and Installed Cable
Customer Review: Customer Service... A+
Summary: 5 Stars
Paladin 1574 LAN test kit does just what it says. Kit components are lightweight, but feel durable.
Paladin tools tend to be a little more on the pricey side, but are worth the money if you plan on using them more than once. My experience in the value of the premium with Paladin also comes in the form of customer service. Bought a cable tester that wound up having a bad LED on the sending unit. Emailed Paladin about how to resolve. Same day I had a reply asking me to what address they should send the replacement. 3 days later I recieved the replacement. No run around, no hassle.
Not the first Paladin tool I have purchased and use regularly, and it won't be the last.
Customer Review: Time Saver
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this item! It is a wonderful time saver. It is amazingly simple and might seem kind of expensive, but it saves the frustration of trying to figure out if it's a bad cable or not. I only used it a few times, but I remember before without it I was never really sure if it was a cable problem or not. With this checker I could also tug and sorta bend the cable too to see if it was a connection problem. It might seem like a luxury item especially for me since I really don't work with network cables that often, but the frustration it saves me from knowing whether it's a bad cable or not makes me feel like it's almost a necessity. :) And of course I love gadgets.Customer Review: Excellent Unit, Great Price
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked it so much I bought a second one. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is the first one had an LED burn out after about a year and that was too soon. The new one (cheaper to buy the whole unit than replace the troubled part) is working fine and everyone who uses it loves it. Since I don't know how the unit with the bad LED got treated by people who borrowed it from me I don't penalize the manufacture much.

Customer Review: Great product at a great price
Summary: 5 Stars
Saved me from myself and hours of troubleshooting on my home network wiring job. I was able to test all my keystone wiring and crimping before buttoning everything up. As it turns out, one of my keystone ends had a problem with wire #4 -- I would have had a tough time finding this without this great little tool. Sturdy, well built, works well and even comes with a battery. I could not be more pleased with this purchase.Customer Review: Well worth the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well worth the money. While it doesn't do an actual bandwidth test, checking the continuity with this device will tell you if your cable is good or bad 99.9% of the time. You can check short cables or longer installed runs with the included remote display unit.
