Best 404 Error Checker?

[anchorwave]

I have a client with a lot of 404 errors from Web Master Tools, and i have to go through and check each of the links because

• Some redirect to the correct page
• Some redirect to another url but its a 404 error
• Some are just 404 errors

Does anyone know of a tool where i can dump all of the urls and it will tell me

• If the url is redirected, and to where
• if the page is a 404 or other error

Any tips or suggestions will be really appreciated!

Thanks SEO Moz'rs

Have you tried the SEOmoz Crawl Diagnostics report? That will show the 404 errors and the pages on the site that have the links to those pages.

I haven't used it myself (yet), but Screaming Frog could help as an alternative, though the full version is paid. This post compares the two: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/crawler-faceoff-xenu-vs-screaming-frog
