Cable testers

Anyone use cable testers (and therefore would recommend any)?

Considering something like this:

or for a bit more (but does ethernet cables too):

I currently use a multimeter but find that a third or fourth hand would make life easier and like the idea of plugging the cables in and giving them a good wiggle whilst getting a visual indication. I'd considered making a basic tester but the variety of cables these accept makes me think it might be worth a punt for the gig bag...?

Look very handy. I've got a Behringer CT100, which falls between those two in price, and it doesn't do speakons and only caters for 3 cores on the DIN sockets (so it's fine for MIDI but anything using 5 pins won't be fully tested). But it does show the interconnections all at once, and also has "intermittent" indicators. I don't think I'll be replacing it but should it ever die, one of the Studiospares ones would be a definite candidate.
