Detectors

From hanging a picture to knocking down a wall, when it comes to any project involving your walls, ceilings or floors, a digital detector enhances your drilling accuracy and safety.

Detectors indicate where the studs are in your wall, as well as detecting pipes, live wires and steel framing. Whether you’re a professional tradesperson or undertaking a DIY home improvement project, we have a wide selection of detectors to suit any budget, from brands including Bosch and Einhell.

Multi detectors work like a stud finder, pipe detector and cable detector in one. Simple to use with one button operation, they have the ability to find ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wooden studs and live wires. With an acoustic signal and traffic light LED for easy interpretation of results, they are a popular choice for reliable and pinpoint detection.

For wall-scanning precision, radar scanners offer exact location of an objects centre using spot measurement for accurate detection, even on extremely small surfaces. Suitable for all materials, audible and visual warning signals let you know when water-filled plastic pipes, metals, wooden studs and live cables are found in your surfaces.

Thermal detectors measure surface temperature, room temperature and humidity in your walls. Allowing you to take the necessary precautions when working on improvement projects, they can quickly identify hidden thermal bridges and areas that are at risk of mould.

For a professional finish, explore our extended range of other levels, measuring and detecting tools including levelling sensors, marking out tools and circuit testers.
