Rated 4 out of 5 by Olliecov from Quite good Brought this after drilling a water pipe (wish I Brought it before lol) it does detect pipes, cables and studs well but also give false positive reading sometimes . I would definitely recommend this 100% better than some of the cheaper ones .

Rated 5 out of 5 by GrahamMG from It actually works!! Having tried many stud/cable finders over the years with varying degrees of success, I bit the bullet and bought the Bosch as I have a ‘lot’ of cables and ceiling joists to find building our new demo room. Ok so it only comes with an AA battery holder adaptor which looks like it will get stuck in the device (it’s in two pieces that don’t click together!) but it also uses the 10v lithium batteries from my small impact driver and 10v drill so easy for me to use those existing batteries and charger :-) The device has been tested on most of the property now and is surprisingly accurate with 100% spot on the middle of each joist above the plasterboard ceiling. It also finds electric cables in small Round conduit behind the dot & dab walls. You get what you pay for and it certainly my sped up the ceiling mods no end. Sure it’s not perfect but does work ‘straight out of the box’ and copes with artex ceilings well. Recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Thomo from Accurate detector Easy to use straight out of the box. First job was to find joists in ceiling above plasterboard which had a rough coat render on it. Did the job well. Also tried out mapping some cables behind plasterboard. Again spot on.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 77LV from Not perfect but it's V. good. Practice on a stud wall, pipes, cables, nails, get use to it, understand it... then you will be ready... I find studs, cables, pipes (copper) kitchen refits, amazing how you can map out pipes bending, cables leaning.... 4/5

Will the scanner tell you what it has detected in a stud wall?

will it tell you if it has found a stud or a plastic pipe?

Asked by: DanJ94

Hi Dan, Thanks for your question. The tool will alert you when an object has been detected, including; wooden studs, magnetic/non-magnetic metals, water-filled plastic pipes, and cables. However, it will not tell you which material it has found with the exception for a live wire which will be indicated with a live wire symbol. Thanks Bosch
