Product Details

Everything you need to know — features, specs, fitment, and answers to the most common questions.

Finds wire, pipe, and studs before you cut

Multi-mode scanning flags live AC wiring, metal, and framing behind drywall and plaster — the cheap insurance step before every cut.

Clear audible and visual alerts

Distinct alarm tones and display cues tell you what you found and where its edges are.

One-button calibration

Zero it on the wall in seconds for steady, repeatable readings scan after scan.

Lifetime warranty — no receipt

Fails under normal use? Replaced, no questions. Same-day shipping from Columbus, OH.

Will it detect wiring that is not live?
AC mode detects energized wiring best. De-energized cable can show up in metal mode via the copper, but always treat a flagged zone as live and verify with a tester before cutting or drilling.
Warranty?
Lifetime warranty. If it fails under normal use we replace it — no receipt, no questions.
How soon will it arrive?
Same-day dispatch from Columbus, OH for orders before 2pm ET. Free standard shipping at $49+.

Traces romex through plaster walls reliably
Old New England plaster-and-lath is the real test and this scanner passed. Traced a live branch circuit across a ceiling to find a buried junction box that was causing nuisance trips. AC detection mode alarms clearly and consistently.

Scan before you cut — this is the tool
Before every recess cut for cabinets I sweep with this. It has flagged live wire, copper supply lines, and studs exactly where the demo later proved them to be. Cheap insurance against the change order nobody wants.

Works well once you calibrate on known wall
First scan gave me jumpy readings until I read the manual and calibrated it flat on the wall away from studs. After that it found every stud in the hallway and flagged the wire drop above each outlet. Do the calibration step.
