The Klein Tools VDV500-060 PROBEplus Tone Tracing Probe is a 9V-powered analog tracing probe designed for identifying wire paths in common wiring systems. It features amplifier overload LED protection for accuracy, dual-mode power button, adjustable volume, and a replaceable tip. With 25-hour active battery life and 4-year standby life, it is compatible with Klein Tools analog toners and many third-party generators. Now discontinued; the recommended replacement is the VDV500-123 Probe-PRO. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty.
Is the VDV500-060 PROBEplus still available?
The VDV500-060 has been discontinued. The current replacement is the VDV500-123 Probe-PRO, which adds AAA battery operation, improved tip replaceability, and compatibility with both analog and digital tones.
What replaces the VDV500-060?
The VDV500-123 Probe-PRO is the direct replacement — same tracing function with updated battery format and broad tone compatibility. The VDV500-820 bundles it with the VDV500-063 generator.
Will the VDV500-060 still work with current Klein generators?
Yes — the probe is passive and picks up tones across the standard frequency range regardless of which generator produced them. For longer-term reliability, the VDV500-123 is the recommended upgrade.
