Wasted $150 on a fancy toner that did nothing for me

I bought this expensive toner and probe set from a big brand last month because I was chasing a tricky short in a commercial job. Spent an hour hooking it up and tracing lines, but it kept giving me false readings on the conduit. Turned out the short was in a junction box I could have found with my old multimeter and a wiggy in 10 minutes. Anyone else fall for a tool that looked better on paper than it worked on site?

Honestly that stings, spent $150 on something that just adds frustration instead of fixing it. Solidarity man, we've all been burned by gear that looked like a shortcut and turned into a detour.

Wait it was $150 not $250 right?
