Good build quality
Worked fine

Good but more parts needed
Great tool to check coax cable ends are correctly secured. Be aware; as supplied it only connects to F-type connectors so you'll maybe require male and/or female adapters depending on which you have...

Excellent, but be aware of your socket types
This is a great time saver. Used this a few times for identifying coax cables in loft spaces and multiple rooms. Tool is small and easy to carry, very easy to use with clear lights for ID purposes and even tells you if there is a short in the cable. Be aware that the coloured plugs fit on ftype sockets and connectors fine, but need an adaptor to fit on standard UK coax sockets. Easily done, but I think this has been made with the North American market in mind where they use ftype for eveything.

Easy to use and quickly shows faults
Having moved into a new house with multiple cables in the loft and no aerial or any idea which one went to which room or would be for the satellite, this tool proved indispensable. Easily found the correct cables and tested the connection which identified an open circuit caused by the builders. The only downside is the lack of an adaptor for male and female aerial sockets, luckily I had a couple of spare f type adapters.

Does what it says on the tin, does not come with additional attachments
Worked a treat to identify coaxial runs. You will probably want to buy some additional end caps (only red is supplied and the device can do green/blue etc); additionally, you'll need some converters for different coaxial termination types; other than that, its reliable and does the job, simple bit of kit. Not worth a penny more than I paid for it however as its a glorified continuity meter.
