Switched from analog tone generators to digital signal mapping probes
I spent 6 years chasing wires with a basic tone generator and probe, always second guessing if I had the right wire when bundles got tight. Last month I finally picked up a digital signal map probe that injects a coded signal and it cut my wire tracing time from 45 minutes to under 10 on a 50-pin harness. Has anyone else made that switch and noticed a big difference in accuracy?

Right?! Like I spent years playing "is this the right wire or am I about to punch a hole in the ceiling" and now it just works. Game changer for sure!

Honestly, the "punch a hole in the ceiling" part hits way too close to home. I ended up getting a wire tracer from a hardware store for like 30 bucks, which saved me from tearing down half my hallway. Still felt sketchy, but at least I didn't have to patch drywall afterward.
