Handyman NailFinder

Handyman NailFinder and Metal Detector

If you're into working with used lumber, whether it's old barn wood, exotic pallet scrap, or recycled mill timbers, then you know how thoroughly a single piece of metal can wreck a saw blade, a set of planer or jointer knives, a shaper cutter or a router bit. This lumber metal detector is a professional size handheld wand with detection path measuring 5" long by 2-1/2" wide.

It's the choice for highly portable scanning of boards and timbers, detecting large pieces of metal through as much as 6" of solid wood, and finding objects as small as a staple buried 1-1/4" deep.

The LED indicator light works in conjunction with either a high pitched audio alert for quiet conditions or a vibration alert for noisy situations. This detector also has 3 frequency settings to avoid interference from other electronic devices. There is also a low setting that reduces the detection range to eliminate false readings from other metal objects in proximity to the area being scanned.

Comes with a rubberized handle and detachable wrist strap to ensure a secure grip. The wand is 18" long and weighs 13-1/2 ounces. Uses a 9-volt battery, not included. Made in the USA.
