Spent $400 on a fancy cable toner and my old $30 one still works better

That expensive toner keeps giving false readings on live lines, meanwhile the cheap one I got from a pawn shop 5 years ago has never let me down - has anyone else had better luck with the basic models?

That $400 toner, is it one of those Fluke units or something? I always wonder if the expensive ones just have too many features that end up getting in the way of just doing the basic job right.

It's like that thing where the simpler version of anything just works better because there's less to go wrong. I've seen it with coffee makers too, the fancy one with all the settings breaks in a year but the old Mr. Coffee keeps going for a decade. Ever notice how the basic stuff just outlasts everything?
