Highlights
Quality
This scan that the job very well so it helped me to fidn the stud and metals wires in electric
Excellent, very accurate piece of equipment, makes finding cables, wood joists and piping in the walls *****
The ac wire light is overly cautious and not very helpful, if it's always on.
There have been several instances where it either failed to detect studs or gave false positives, making it unreliable for precise work.
Price
If you need precise work then invest more money £70/80.
For the price i think it is good buy.
