Am I missing something here or is this roughly the same what you get for 4 bucks from China? I mean, 30 euros plus shipping is a lot for a cable tester imo

Do you trust the $4 tester from China to test the suspect cheap cables from China?

This one seems to test much more lines than the cheap chinese ones.
