Flashlight
Customers have mixed feelings about the flashlight feature of the product. While some find it useful for working in dark spaces, others are disappointed that it requires a separate battery and have experienced issues with its functionality.
Continuity Testing
Customers have mixed opinions on the AMPCOM RJ45 Tester for LAN. While most agree that it is a basic and functional tool for verifying continuity in network cables, some users report issues with reliability and durability. The tester works off of USB power or a 9V battery and can test up to 8P8C 9 conductor cables.

Price
This simple and inexpensive cable tester was the thing i needed.
It can test both utp and stp (including shield connectivity), inexpensive, and it is pretty lightweight to carry.
At $14 bucks, this is the cheapest tester i could find on amazon.
Packaging/appearance
Any lettering on or in the box was chinese but once you figure it out it works as needed.
Competitiveness
If you don't need the ground/drain wire tested then there are certainly better testers out there for not much more money.
