Metal and live wire detectors

A detector (wall scanner) is a device that finds metal, live electrical wiring and wooden studs inside a wall before drilling. It protects you from electric shock and from damaging pipes and rebar. Models like the ADA Wall Scanner 80 identify the object type and depth, giving an audible and visual signal.

How to choose a detector:

• Object types: metal (ferrous/non-ferrous), live wires, wood.
• Detection depth: check the maximum for each material.
• Modes: dedicated modes for concrete, drywall and wood improve accuracy.
• Indication: a display with depth and sound beats single-LED units.

Always scan the spot before drilling — it’s cheaper than repairing wiring. Warranty and delivery across Europe.
