Recommendation for an Ethernet Tester

I'm a bit new to networking and trying to locate an issue with a cable drop or three. The ports are all mislabeled, but I was able to trace them back to the patch panel with the toner. However I get no data coming through the lines when they're patched in. I'm suspecting a short or, more likely, a bad punch on them as they were never in use to begin with and it's a pretty new office space.

Before I go through the trouble of re-punching them, I'd like to verify that that's what the issue is first. Plus I'd need something like this handy for next time anyway.

Can anyone recommend a good ethernet tester that would help identify an issue like this?
