Simple and easy to use providing you understand what the unit is scanning for. For example it wont detect a live power cable if its covered by a metal casing. So detect for metal instead. Ignore some of the test sites which are unrepresentative of the product. If its flashing red to indicate power in the wall everywhere just put your other hand on the wall to discharge the static build up, then it will operate correctly. Always scan three times for an accurate detection.
A good product which will save a lot of hassle and worry.

Excellent bit of kit. Gives more confidence that when drilling into internal walls etc. you're less likely to drill into something you should'nt. Easy to use.
Best price found at Howe Tools & fast delivery, well pleased.

Very easy to use with both audible and visible alerts to know when you are passing the device over a material it detects allowing you to get pretty precise location readings.
It's great that it can not only detect live cables but also building materials such as metals and wooden stud.
It's nice to know that it has automatic calibration. Comes complete with snug carry case and strap.

A first sight, it seems over sensitive and I am getting false positives for live wiring. But I will watch the video again on the Bosch web site and give it another go.

Slightly disappointed with the accuracy of the instrument as it appears to be confused by more that one element in the vicinity of the detection area being analysed.

Scanning a wall for wires, battens etc can be tricky. This tool would appear to give the best chance of success. I have tried others, and not been impressed.

Invaluable. Not perfect but a lot better than my previous one and certainly gives you piece of mind when screwing down chipboard floors prior to laying new floor on top.
