This is a perfect example of charging more by implying "marine" use. The
Ancor version is a rip off. Check out the GB Instruments Lan Tracker. GB makes the Acnor wire tracker. The Lan Tracker has connections for ethernet, telephone and coax as well as regular wires. Available from Amazon for $20 less than the more basic Ancor Wire tracker. The GB version of the simple Ancor Wire tracker (exactly the same thing) is $25 less. Amazon link to Lan Tracker: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...&s=hi&n=495310 BTW, they do work pretty well. I can pick a wire out of a bundle pretty easily with mine. -- Glenn Ashmore I'm building a 45' cutter in strip/composite.

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying one of the "Wire Tracker" kits from Ancor, and was wondering if anyone had ever used one of these. I'm trying to rewire, and have 20 years worth of "spaghetti" that I'd like to track down and remove, if possible. Here are some questions for discussion. 1. I've seen telephone guys use something like this, and I believe I've seen them at Home Depot or Lowes. Harris is the manufacturer, IIRC. Is the Wire Tracker basically the same thing? Any advantages to either? 2. Would one of the telephone units (i.e., Harris) be better/more reliable/more useful/more flexible? 3. Exactly what does "unergized", as used in the Wire Tracker literature, mean? 4. The Ancor unit seems to be much more "cost effective" than the Home Depot ones. Any reason? 5. Does anyone actually use these things for their intended purpose? Thanks all, SS |
