Product Details

Finding a break in your pet fence boundary wire is easy with the new PetSafe® Wire Break Locator. This wire break detector helps accurately locate full wire breaks in any in-ground fence system. The wire break transmitter sends two unique tones down each side of your dog fence boundary wire. With the hand-held locator, you not only hear each tone sent by the wire break transmitter, but the red and green lights on the locator allow you to see which tone is being received. Wire breaks in the boundary wire are commonly found where the wire exits the house and enters the ground such as at wire splices, where the wires cross sidewalks or driveways, around landscaping and flower beds or in aerated lawns. When the wire break is located, use one of the included wire nuts and gel-filled capsules to repair the broken wire. We recommend repairing the breaks as you go around the boundary. Trust PetSafe® to help keep your pet healthy, safe and happy.

We use this to find wire breaks with our robotic mowers. I have used this to find mainline of irrigation system. Great value for the money. Make sure the ground wires are hooked up and in moist soil. It will work much better after rain at finding the breaks. Does a decent job when the wire is shorted but finds it much faster when there is a clean break in the wire.

We have about 7 acres enclosed in invisible fence and usually we can figure out where the break is. Not this time. We searched and searched to no avail. Our dog nearly was killed by coyotes when he realized he could run through it with no pain. We ordered this wire break locator and about 1 hour later it was found and fixed. Easy instructions and sounds to find the break. Thank you!

We had our lawn aerated which resulted in a break in our dog fence. Our yard is just over an acre so I had no idea where to begin. I found this product on-line and ordered it. Once it arrived It took a few minutes to set up the system. Once it was set up I was able to quickly locate a single break in our system at the very back of our yard. I had it repaired in about 20 min. This product worked great and saved me hours of work and head ache. I don't think I would of located the break without it. I would highly recommend, especially if you have a large area to search. I will also use this to mark where our fence is in the future so that we hopefully avoid anymore inadvertent breaks.

Called national fence company and they couldn't come repair our invisible fence for 6 weeks. That wasn't gonna cut it. Read great reviews about this and for $100. It was worth a try. It found 2 breaks in my fence within a inch of the breaks. It's already paid for its self and I should have bought one 15 years ago when fence broke the first time ! Read the instructions and have a little patience.

The item worked well finding the underground wire but the stick that holds the receiver broke before I made 1 loop around my yard. Very cheaply made handle but its made as part of the receiver so it was very difficult to fix. Had to use electrical tape and popsicle sticks.. Do not touch the receiver on the ground then you will not break the handle.
