Studies show that the average sound engineer says the word "check" 500,000 times per month and spends 50 hours per month in a panic trying to figure out why no signal is showing up on the board even though everything is connected properly. If you do any gigging or recording at all, this unit will pay for itself in aspirin and cough drop costs within months.

Ebtech's Swizz Army box is an essential part of my equipment bag, whether I'm gigging out as a guitarist or running live sound. At this point, it's saved me hours of valuable pre-show time that would have otherwise been spent troubleshooting. No band or sound tech should ever show up without a great cable tester like this one.

The Swizz Army instantly solved problems that have plagued me for years. I had a whole drawer full of questionable cables that have just been sitting there. In 15 minutes I had all of them categorized ... read more [+] for what was wrong with them, from intermittent connections to incorrectly wired mic cables.
It does take a little getting used to which lights mean what, but that problem cable drawer is now empty and hundreds of dollars of cables are back in use. I take it on the road with me, too. Get one! close [-]

The Swizz Army Tester is hands-down the best cable tester around. No sound booth, recording studio, or audio tool box should be without one!
The best thing about this tester is the i ... read more [+]ntermittent checking capability. Plug the questionable cable in, jiggle it around, and the tester will tell you exactly which wires are loose by locking on an LED. The LED display also tells you the exact wiring of the cable, including and shorts, opens, and crossed pins.
Other functions, like sensing phantom power on mic lines and producing test tones (either 440Hz or 1kHz), make ringing out messes of cables a breeze. I use this feature any time I re-patch the stage to make sure that I have the signal paths correct.
This is truly a smart cable tester, and is worth the extra money. Despite the number of features packed into a small box, the Swizz Army tester was incredibly easy to learn. I don't know how I got along without one all these years! close [-]

I use this cable tester in my studio all the time. It's easy to use, fast and clear and covers almost every cable type I use.
