Pros & Cons
Pros
It has a charging jack so if you put a rechargeable 9v in it, you can plug it in. I find it to be reliably sensitive for my purpose. Big things get detected from farther away.
Using it to find nails in reclaimed wood before putting the wood through planer. Will be invaluable in checking if cows have picked up a nail in the hoof. Found nails in 150 year old rough sawn oak.
Highlights
Quality
Operation is as simple as it should be, different modes and sensitivity are convenient and the battery life is outstanding.
Been easy to use and works for small staples and nails.
They are made to find non iron metal and its hard to get them to pinpoint nails.
If one goes over the boards twice and slowly, it catches almost everything made of steel.
Price
For the price i don't think you can beat it.
This thing has saved me a fortune.
I was concerned that for the price this would be mediocre.
Great price, does the job as expected.
Shipping
Product arrived in a timely fashion and worked as adveritised.
Was looking for property line and found it fast.
Packaging/appearance
1) a non rechargeable 9v battery was included, even though box said "required".
But it arrived with a broken battey cover plate had to use tape to keep it in place
