I don't know if they still make them, but the Harris Dracon was a good
one.
More importantly are the clips. You want the expensive clips that
will go
on a 66 block, but have bed of nails and the piercing pins.
Speakerphone is good. Nice heavy duty clip to clip on your belt to tool
pouch is good. Weatherproof is good. Drop proof is good. My first butt
set was a 100% rubber BECO. It would survive a drop from the top of a
pole
unless it fell with the dial against a rock. Dial would move a little
slow
in sub zero weather and you would have to force it back.

I'm looking for recommendations for butt sets for some upcoming jobs.
Basically I need to get dial tone and and verify the number I am
connected to but not sure of other features that may come with the
higher end sets that may be helpful.
