Hobbes Test-i PC Cable Tester

I've been thinking about getting one of these. If you're familiar with Hobbes equipment, I'd be interested in hearing what you like or dislike about their products.

You could buy a lot of replacement cables for $245. Do you think that would pay for itself?

In fifteen years I've not encountered anywhere near enough faulty cables to cover the capital cost of that, the most common cable problem I encounter is network patch leads and I test these with a continuity £5 tester.

Good point. Now that you mention it, it's probably overkill for a small shop like mine.

Yea I rarely see the problem being a bad cable. And if you carried at least one of every type that the thing above can test, you will spend maybe 30 bucks on ebay getting one extra of every kind.
