A time domain reflectometer would be nice if it had inch resolution.

You can get pretty close to that with a fast risetime step, and a decent
scope bandwidth. I've used it to detect where a break was, but (cheat,
cheat) I know it would be where the wire was soldered to the connector, I
just needed to know which end to do surgery on.
