Introduction

MultiScanner Pro uses advanced scanning technology to detect studs, metal and "hot" unshielded AC wiring behind walls, floors and ceilings.

A unique slide switch allows users to select the desired mode, including turning off stud and metal scan to look only for hot AC wires. To aid in marking stud edges, the one-of-a-kind SpotLite pointing system projects a beam of light on the wall when MultiScanner Pro has located the edge of a stud.

Just some of MultiScanner Pro's many uses include the ability to fasten hardware in the best location, avoid drilling or nailing into hot electric wires and locate pipes to avoid sawing into them. MultiScanner Pro also finds rebar in concrete to save the trouble and expense of broken drill bits and saw blades. [What can Multiscanner do?] [StudVision LCD]
