Found a dead short in my basement last night using a toner

Was hunting a mystery tripping breaker for two days. Grabbed a Klein toner, clipped it to the hot wire behind the drywall, and found the nail through the Romex in 15 minutes. Anyone else keep a toner in their daily bag or just me?

Read a forum post where a guy found a hidden junction box with his toner that had been buried behind a wall for years. Pretty wild what you can track down with one.

Honestly I used to think toners were overhyped but that kind of story changes my mind completely. Crazy what's hiding behind walls that you'd never find otherwise.
