"Ridiculously awesome, low-cost, high-features tester"

Feature:
Has similar features to higher-end testers costing 5 times as much! A little box that packs a HUGE punch. So many different test capabilities.

Quality:
Very good durable construction. I worry that the switches may break off when the tester is thrown around, but the tester is cheap enough to get another one if I can't fix it myself. The male XLR jack on my tester is a bit sticky, but my friends works just fine. This is not a problem just a minor nuisance.

Value:
For $30?!?!?! This is absolutely the best deal you will find. If you have ever repairs cables before and only been able to test them through you board (yikes!) then this is a must! Plus for a nerdy technician you get a cool toy with blinky lights on it!

Desirability:
So cool and so ridiculously useful. I have fixed around 15 cable and tested several dozen in the past month of ownership alone. A Super product.

Ease of Use:
Th UI takes some getting used to. Another review stated that he couldn't use the thing because there were no instructions. Well, if you are going to be using a more-complex tester like this one, then you should be technically inclined enough to work it as well. I don't want a newbie messing with my cables. Generally it tells you everything and more, but as with most testers you have to logically think about the lights and ensure that they are doind what you want. (ie. A correct XLR cable will have a up-to-the-right diagonal line of three lit LEDs. A correctly wired 1/4 phone TS cable will be a star (a number five on a dice)).

Overall:
Like I've said; everything you could want and MORE! For only $30!!

"Take it from a serious user - this thing is so worth it!"

Feature:
Everything but a speaker and voltage checker. There is nothing made that does what this does AND has those features.

Quality:

Desirability:
As a tech I don't care about cosmetics but this is small enough to add to my belt.

Sound:
no sound

Ease of Use:
If you can't figure out how this works you should give up now.

Overall:
I can't imagine what the heck happened with these others who have rated this item, maybe they got a lemon. I live in land 'o gear, Los Angeles. I'm a musician first and a tech second but I'm a world travelling pro in both. I work in all kinds of situations from the studio to the stage to the field and REQUIRE reliability. Hands down the most money (and the most pressure) is in television. Me and my tech pals are hired because of our troubleshooting capability. On one show I do, it would cost the network $300,000 per minute if we go down. With that much riding on the gig we are provided with the tools and the time to get it right. Most TV techs use a Q-box which costs three times what the CT-100 does and has half the functions. This particular unit will take the place of three other testers I have and one or two that aren't even made. As soon as this arrived I started pulling out boxes of cables and right away found problems that I never would have detected so quickly or accurately. The only thing it lacks is a speaker but, take it from one who knows, even for twice the ducats this unit is well worth the investment.
