Pros and cons

According to our wall scanner expert

You detect ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, power lines and wooden substructures.
You'll have to replace the batteries every now and again.

Description

Prevent drilling in the wrong places by using the Bosch UniversalDetect. Because the last thing you want is that you will encounter electric wires or iron nails during drilling. With the detector at hand you will be warned by both an acoustic signal and an LED light system when it finds iron, copper, substructures or electrical cables in the wall. He does this to a maximum depth of 10 centimeters. The handy marking aid shows exactly where you drill in a safe place in the wall. The automatic calibration of the UniversalDetect in combination with the step-by-step instructions also makes the digital detector reliable and user-friendly.

This is what you get

Review is 6,0 out of 10.

Simple operation, but hardly usable.

Works very simple
Detects metal
Doesn't work or hardly works for power wire detection

I had bought it to detect live wires in a ceiling with metal reinforcement. But live wire detection does not work or hardly works; most places where I know there is a power wire are not detected. The electrical wire is detected as metal, but that is of no use to me in a ceiling with reinforcement. Moreover, metal is already detected before you are above it, making it very difficult to determine where the metal is. I even tested a second one because the reviews were usually pretty good, but to no avail.

Works well in locating pipes or wood in the wall.

Works intuitively
Detects metal, non-metal or wood
Very sensitive device
You have to follow the coolblue tips otherwise you sometimes don't know if you're in the right place.

The Bosch UniversalDetect works intuitively and is easy to handle. You can easily switch between metal, non-metal and wood in walls. And he finds these easily in the walls too.

The device is very sensitive to materials in the wall, this is both a plus and a minus. Fortunately, if you follow the tips that coolblue gives on their site (or in the manual), it will work. Until now, no pipe was drilled thanks to this device. Definitely recommended.
