Very good and reliable. And above all, cheap for its capabilities. I got it for 43 euros for electrical work. It detects live wires and metal pipes. Depending on what the sensor detects, it makes the corresponding sound. It immediately detected the path that the cable follows in the socket, as well as the concealed copper water pipes.

Perfect. There is no flaw. Anyone who intends to drill walls should have one of these, we almost killed ourselves the other day. It's not expensive, get it.
Edit: The other day it was showing that it was about to break. It was hitting as if there was electricity in an empty wall. To make it work properly, we had to first put it on a real cable and then on the wall again. After the initial craziness, it worked correctly...
Edit 2: It is no longer unreliable. We will get another one. It doesn't work even if you put it in a place with electricity. In the same spot, sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't. It gives you a very approximate sense of where the cables are. It's a shame because it worked perfectly for the first 2 months. (We used it for household purposes, we are not professionals or anything, we might have used it 10 times in total, and it never fell on us).
Edit 3: I should note that all of the above we did on a solid wall. However, I think the tool is for drywall? We always used it on walls.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    The construction is plastic and very lightweight.
    It does its job of detecting metal and cables behind wood, false ceiling, and concrete.
    The issue is that it detects in a very general way; whether something is right above or 15cm away, it gives the same signal.
    Additionally, it cannot detect network cables (with or without shielding), whether they carry current (PoE, PoE+, PoE++, PoE+++) or not.

    Initially, it does not find cables in a non-electrified property. I don't know if I didn't use it correctly, but it doesn't give good results with cables. A similar one from Temu found them better. As for the poles, it's ok. It's what is shown in the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfeUel3dT8w, for local work and not for mapping.

    This review is about a variation of the product

    I followed the instructions according to the user manual but it was not accurate in its measurements.. Don't expect too much..
    Where there is reinforcement, it beeps for iron without distinguishing power cables even at two centimeters depth.. the third star is just in case I did something wrong in its use.. Two stars and that's generous

    for plasterboard, power lines, rebar in concrete and generally whatever it promises it works, tested
    in many cases I thought it was reading random things but I was wrong, don't expect great accuracy.. it costs 50€ while good detectors cost 5 or 10 times its price

    Good construction which, wherever it was used, gave results. Both for water pipes and for cables inside the wall.

    As a store, it's okay... as a machine, it lacks a lot. Only sound and the same one for everything. Iron, aluminum, good cable... you don't know where to find it from behind. Get something better, it's not worth its money

    First day today.. simply VERY good.. what can you do with the screen if you have the right indications. I mainly wanted it to see cables through the wall and it is very good.. it has interrupted marking on power conductors so it can also be used as a voltage detector. I recommend it without hesitation..
