PSA: That cheap toning probe set from Amazon cost me a full day of backtracking.
Honestly I thought I was being smart grabbing a $35 toning probe kit off Amazon instead of dropping $120 on a Fluke. Big mistake. The thing could barely pick up a signal through drywall, let alone through the bundle of 50 cables in a telecom room. I spent almost 8 hours redoing half the panel because I labeled stuff wrong based on that junk probe. Ended up buying the Fluke anyway the next morning from a local supply house. Has anyone else dealt with those cheap kits failing on dense cable bundles?

Did the cheap one make you second-guess your sanity too?

Honestly, "second-guess your sanity" is exactly the phrase I've been looking for. Did you ever get yours to actually work once, even by accident?
