1) Submitted by Richard Zegers, from Bellingham, WA on 9/2/2010 Customer Rating: Works great as a stud finder, with a little practice it helps to pin-point the exact location of the nail that it's attracting and hopefully to locate the center of the stud.

2) Submitted by Shannon Reynolds, from Everett, WA on 12/11/2008 Customer Rating: Easy to use. Nice design. Helped us find the studs under our lath and plaster. Will have many uses as we update and maintain our older home.

3) Submitted by Ken Erlenbusch, from Pierre, SD on 5/19/2008 Customer Rating: This unit has already paid for itself. I have only had the metal detector for 2-weeks but it saved my plane head twice by detecting a staple and a small nail in wood I was about to plane.

4) Submitted by SeaWolf's Home Workshop Blog, from Jacksonville , FL on 4/27/2008 Customer Rating: Great little metal detector that is value priced. I used it to locate counter sunk screws hidden by a laminate surface.

5) Submitted by Brian Barton, from Colby, KS on 11/19/2007 Customer Rating: Small,compact,works well,low cost ,high quality.

6) Submitted by John Porto, from Bristol, RI on 9/19/2008 Customer Rating: The sensitivity is extremely poor, the only thing I will be using this for is a paper weight.

7) Submitted by Joe R, from Mill Valley, CA on 9/25/2008 Customer Rating: This item does exactly what I hoped for, and then some. It was sensitive enough to detect pin-brads, 1" below the surface of an armoire's pine crown-molding, which I had to remove. Of course, it also detected brads, and screws. Needless to say, I resorted to prying off the molding, instead of ruining any number of different blades, I would have used.

8) Submitted by Charles, from Chambersburg, PA on 11/28/2010 Customer Rating: I have a pretty limited budget and I tend to spend it on wood or tools. But, in the back of my mind and every time I used my 6" Ridgid jointer with the nicked knives, I knew that this unit was needed. While it has *only* discovered a rusted off nail within its hole I forsee a bright future for this device. Oh yes, along the objective vane, it is equipped with a sensitivity adjustment which works sort of like a squelch adjustment on a CB. And that's all I have to say about that.
