Looking for LAN tool

Our network cabinets are now at the point where it is getting near impossible to trace lines with my hands, spanning overhead etc.

Im looking for a tool that will help me locate cat5/rj-45 lines with a tone generator. Any suggestions for a quality example on the cheap? Or if you know of a better tool to accomplish this, I'm all ears.

While we're at it, I havent seen a thread where people post their most useful networking tools. What do you guys like?
