Master Electrician Dad and Apprentice Son go on a call and troubleshoot a missing wire, thoughts?

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The electrician uses the Greenlee Sniffer Tool's receiver unit to scan the walls and surrounding areas. He demonstrates how the tool's signal strength (indicated by beeping frequency and visual display) intensifies as it approaches the location of the energized wire behind the wall. He moves the tool systematically to follow the strongest signal, mapping the path of the missing circuit.

Goal: Locate the physical path of the target electrical wire within walls.
