Accurately locate studs, metal and live wires before you drill
This Stud Finder Live Wire Detector is designed to help you work safely and efficiently when drilling, mounting or renovating. With three dedicated detection modes and clear visual and audio alerts, it identifies wood studs, metal objects and live AC wires hidden behind common interior walls.
The device detects wood and metal studs up to 38 mm deep, making it suitable for most plasterboard and drywall applications. In metal scan mode, it locates metal pipes, copper, aluminum and rebar up to approximately 3 inches (about 76 mm) behind the surface. The AC scan mode helps you detect live AC wires at similar depths, reducing the risk of drilling into electrical lines. A backlit display, intuitive button layout and a clearly marked top notch allow you to pinpoint the center of the stud or object with confidence, even in low-light conditions.
Why It's a Smart Choice
- Three precise detection modes - Separate stud, metal and AC wire modes provide targeted scanning for walls, pipes and electrical lines.
- Clear visual and audio feedback - Backlit screen, LED indicators and audible beeps confirm object location and help you mark exact drilling points.
- Safe and convenient operation - Powered by a 9V battery with automatic shut-off to conserve power, and designed for comfortable one-hand use in typical indoor temperatures.
