Fluke Networks19800009 TS19 Telephone Test Set with Angled Bed-of-Nails Clips

Works good as advertised.

Had to replace my old original Harris T22A and didn't want to spend $300 so got this one instead. It does the job it's designed to do. Pretty simple to use if you know how to use a butt set. But instructions are easy to follow. A must have in your tool arsenal for testing out pots lines.

Works like a butt set! Two features I like with this one over my previous butt sett are:1- the buttons on the hand set are larger and less likely to shift to another setting when brushed.2- The last number redial. When testing a line to find out the associated number, I always dial the same phone number. One large button push is sweet. The design protects this button so it is harder to inadvertently push it.

I buy a few of these a year for our elevator mechanics and fire alarm electricians. They are dependable and alway work well. I’m sure a telco guy could elaborate why they have a tone/pulse option, though. I’m pretty sure it’s there just to annoy me by always being in Pulse when I first dial out.

Better value’s out there

I have been using Fluke products for years in the Fire & Life Safety industry and they are the leader in testing equipment. This tester is reliable, easy to use, and durable. I have used other testers and they simply do not compare. I have had my tester for 5+ years and i love it. I actually bought this one for a tech who works for me.

This was my second test set (linemans set, butt set, whichever you prefer). It was purchased for a coworker so he can assist me in the field. I would absolutely purchase it again.Pros:Same Fluke quality of an other unit under themCord is braided nylon and abrasion resistantClips are heavy duty and work greatCons:I would like to see an integrated cable retention device

This butt set is basic and to the point. Great for working with analog phone lines and no batteries needed.
