I've used a variety of tone tracers and never struggled to trace a single conductor.
For a shorted pair sometimes adding a capacitor in one leg works.

You reckon that's cheaper?
I think I have used one of those but IIRC the place I used it would not have had a single wire issue.
I use an ex BT one I picked up decades ago, but it's only rated to around 100v.
I paid less than 90 Euros for mine and seem to remember it was the cheapest model on the European market then.
It claims to withstand up to 400 V but from what I‘ve read on the internet you should definitely take that with a grain of salt.
