Find Hidden Pipes, Metal & Live Wires Before You Drill

The Handheld Wall Scanner & Pipe Detector is an essential tool for any home renovation, DIY project, or professional building work. With high-sensitivity detection, it quickly locates steel pipes, metal objects, and live AC wires hidden beneath walls, ceilings, and floors — helping you work confidently and safely before making any cuts or drilling any holes.

Key Features

  • Dual Detection Modes: Switch between metal detection mode and AC voltage detection mode with a simple function switch
  • High Sensitivity: Detects steel pipes up to 15 mm / 0.59" in diameter at a depth of up to 24 mm / 0.94"
  • AC Wire Finder: Identifies live AC wires (100V and above) at a depth of up to 30 mm / 1.18"
  • Visual & Audio Alert: Built-in visual light and audible alarm give clear, instant alerts when a target is detected
  • Easy to Use: Simple rotary sensitivity adjustment lets you fine-tune the device to your environment for accurate readings
  • Compact & Lightweight: Slim ABS body (148 × 78 × 24 mm) fits comfortably in one hand for extended use
  • Battery-Powered: Runs on a standard 9V (6F22) battery for cordless, go-anywhere convenience (battery not included)

How to Use

  1. Power on the device away from the surface to be scanned and set the function switch to Mode 1 (metal detection). Use the rotary dial to calibrate until the light and alarm are both off.
  2. Hold the detector parallel to the wall surface and slowly sweep the detection bar (DETECT) across the area — the alarm and light will trigger when metal or a pipe is detected.
  3. To scan for live AC wires, switch to Mode 2 and slowly move the detector left and right across the detection zone. An alert signals the presence of a live wire.
  4. When finished, always switch off the power to conserve battery life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What types of objects can this wall scanner detect?

A: This handheld wall scanner is designed to detect two types of hidden objects: metallic materials (such as steel pipes and rebar) in Mode 1, and live AC electrical wires carrying 100V or more in Mode 2. It is ideal for pre-drill checks during building renovation or DIY projects.

Q: How deep can the wall scanner detect pipes and wires?

A: In metal detection mode, it can locate steel pipes with a diameter of 15 mm or greater at depths up to approximately 24 mm (about 0.94 inches). In AC wire detection mode, it can sense live wires at depths up to 30 mm (approximately 1.18 inches). These are reference values and may vary slightly depending on wall material and conditions.

Q: Does the wall scanner come with a battery?

A: No, the battery is not included. The device requires one standard 9V (6F22 type) battery, which is widely available at most hardware and convenience stores. Simply insert the battery before first use.

Q: Is this scanner suitable for use by beginners and DIY enthusiasts?

A: Absolutely! The scanner features a straightforward two-mode function switch and a rotary sensitivity dial that makes calibration simple even for first-time users. The visual light and audible alert system gives clear, easy-to-understand feedback during scanning.
