5-in-1 Wall Stud Finder, Metal & Live Wire Detector

5-in-1 Wall Scanner for Accurate Stud, Metal and Wire Detection

This 5-in-1 electronic wall scanner combines stud finding, metal detection, live AC wire detection, wall thickness gauging and gold/metal prospecting functions in one compact, handheld device. Designed for construction, renovation and home maintenance, it helps you quickly locate studs, pipes, rebars, joists and live wires behind common wall materials, reducing the risk of drilling into hidden services or missing structural framing.

The unit detects the center of wooden studs at multiple depths, with dedicated modes for approximate wall thicknesses of 1/2 inch (13 mm), 1 inch (25 mm) and 1 1/2 inches (38 mm). In metal mode, it identifies ferrous and non‑ferrous metals such as iron, lead and aluminum up to about 2.36 inches (60 mm) within walls, floors or ceilings. Live AC wires can be detected up to about 2 inches (51 mm), with an integrated AC warning active across all detection modes for added safety. An LCD backlit display shows the selected mode, detection strength, edge/center indication and low-battery status, while a clear audible beep helps pinpoint the exact position of studs and targets. The compact body features an anti‑slip grip for stable handling, and automatic correction in all detection functions supports consistent, repeatable readings. Powered by a standard 6F22 9V battery (not included), it is suitable for use on wooden boards, drywall and gypsum board surfaces within a working temperature range of approximately 0°C-40°C.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Improves drilling and fixing accuracy by clearly indicating stud edges and centers at multiple depths.
• Enhances jobsite safety by warning of live AC wires and hidden metal services before you cut or drill.
• Saves time on layout and inspection work through fast scanning, automatic calibration and easy-to-read LCD feedback.

FAQ

Q: Which wall materials can this detector be used on?
A: It is designed primarily for wooden boards, drywall and gypsum board, and can also scan through similar non‑metallic interior wall finishes.

Q: How do I know when I have found the stud center?
A: The LCD shows edge and center indications, and the smart beep increases in intensity as you approach the center of the stud.

Q: Can it detect both ferrous and non‑ferrous metals?
A: Yes, in metal mode it can detect metals such as iron, lead and aluminum within the specified depth range.

Q: Does it always warn about live wires, even in stud or metal mode?
A: All detection functions include an AC warning feature that alerts you when live AC wiring is present in the scanned area.

Q: Is the battery included?
A: No, the device is powered by a 6F22 9V battery which is not included and must be purchased separately.
