Does this kind of tool exist? Wire tracing?

Hi all,

Dealing with an electrical issue in my garage, and while I have an electrician coming out, I wanted to see if a certain kind of tool exists.

Essentially, you plug something into an outlet, it sends a pulse/signal, similar to a toner maybe, through the wiring, and you have a device that you can run along the wall to detect it, so you can trace where it stops. That way you know where the break is.

Does that make sense? If so, does such a tool exist?

Thanks
