I already had a different one I bought a couple months ago but didn't trust it 100% I've used this model before and it's reliable and easy to use so decided to get another.... Feel much more confident drilling now. They are not expensive and excellent value just for that reason.

Used to find cables channel in wall under plaster, I knew there is a cable somewhere as I had seen it before re-plastering in our kitchen but could not find it, it was possibly too deep, it did find the more obvious ones, but some times took several scans before alerting. I was also trying to find the joists in a plasterboard ceiling, tried tapping and everything sounded hollow, so tried to use the detector and it seemed that everything was a stud, tried on a stud wall, hollow doors, and my hand, just alerts to everything. And yes I did carefully follow the instructions.

I was attracted to this product because the sensitivity is at least adjustable, but it still gives far too many false positive indications, and more dangerously, false negatives, when tested around known cable locations. I could not trust it to drill into a wall which might or might not hide cables or pipes. So I'm afraid it's a waste of money.

Having needed a new wire detector as my previous ( similar to this) had finally died, I decided to try one of the more expensive ones. This was soon returned as being too unreliable and I went for this one, so much better!

Having the adjustment for sensitivity makes this better than any of the more expensive automatic stud/ metal finders which I have always found to be problematic. Good tool!
