Product Description

Amazon.com Review

If you've ever drilled into a concrete wall, you know how valuable a good metal scanner can be. This Zircon deep-scanning metal locator, with its 6-inch scan depth and depth indication to a 1/2 inch, is effective for finding rebar, mesh, metal pipes, conduit, electrical boxes, ducting, flashing, and other materials. The unit has an ergonomic, easy-to-grip design that weighs only 11 ounces, and it easily stores in a toolbox or bag. It's water-resistant, has an auto power-off feature, and will run for almost a year on a single 9-volt battery with normal use. It also has a graphic display for well-lighted areas and an audio detection mode for darker areas, features you're sure to appreciate. --Jonathon Tudor

From the Manufacturer

Don't work blind. Find metal through concrete and behind walls, before you start. Metalliscanner finds rebar and metallic pipes, conduit, metal studs, junction boxes, and metal framing up to six inches deep. It scans through most non-metallic construction material, including solid concrete, and eliminates guesswork, needless holes, and costly broken drill bits and saw blades. The oversized LCD display pinpoints the location of metallic targets to the nearest inch (2.54 cm) and depth to the nearest 1/2-inch (1.27 cm). It also differentiates between materials based on their magnetic properties, and distinguishes copper pipe from steel rebar within slabs or walls. It's an essential tool for contractors, remodelers, plumbers, electricians, and serious do-it-yourselfers. Built tough for professional job sites, detailed operating instructions are included.

4.0 out of 5 stars 6.0 Scanner used for hurricane resistance inspections, January 3, 2001

This review is from: Zircon 55586 Metalliscanner 6.0 Deep Scanning Metal Locator (Tools & Home Improvement)

Our company has used the Zircon 55586 Metalliscanner 6.0 Deep Scanning Metal Locator for 4 years when conducting hurricane resistance inspections for single family homes. The Scanner is used to detect the presence of re-bar in exterior walls and to detect roof sheathing fasteners (nails) into the roof framing. We check spacing and determine if there are actually fasteners present. The Scanner has worked very well and we like the audible sound that is emitted when a nail is found, it makes the job easier when working in confined spaces associated with many attics.
