Locate Hidden Metal & Live Wires Before You Drill
The Handheld Wall Scanner Metal Detector & AC Wire Finder is an essential tool for electricians, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts. Before drilling, cutting, or nailing into walls, this compact scanner helps you identify the precise location of steel pipes, metal rebar, and live AC wiring — helping you work more confidently and safely.
Key Features
- Dual-Mode Detection: Switch between metal detection mode and live AC wire detection mode with a simple function selector.
- High Sensitivity: Detects steel pipes up to 15 mm in diameter at a depth of 24 mm, and live AC wiring (100V+) at a depth of up to 30 mm.
- Visual & Audio Alerts: Instant LED visual alarm and audible alert notify you the moment metal or a live wire is detected.
- Lightweight & Ergonomic: Compact ABS body (148 × 78 × 24 mm) fits comfortably in your hand for extended use on the job site or at home.
- Easy to Use: Simple rotary sensitivity adjustment lets you fine-tune the detector to eliminate false readings before each scan.
- Durable ABS Construction: Tough, impact-resistant plastic housing built to withstand the demands of construction and trade work.
How to Use
- Step away from the surface to be scanned, power on the device, and set the function switch to position 1 (metal detection).
- Slowly rotate the sensitivity dial until the light and sound indicators are just silent — this is your calibrated baseline.
- Hold the detection bar parallel to the wall surface and slowly sweep across the area. An alert will sound and the LED will light up when metal is detected.
- To scan for live AC wiring, switch the function selector to position 2 and sweep the bar slowly left to right across the wall.
- When finished, power off the device to conserve battery life.
