Identify studs, live wires, pipes, and rebar behind walls in seconds before you drill with a pocket-sized wall scanner.
The WallScout HW-710 consolidates five dedicated detection modes into one compact device, featuring four buttons and an LCD readout. Switch modes with a single press and let the screen guide you to the exact drilling stop, ensuring you hit the center of a stud or pipe every time.
The indicator bar graph locks onto CENTER as you sweep, signaling the moment you’re directly over the target—mark, drill, and continue with confidence.
AC live-wire detection flashes and beeps the second the sensor crosses an energized cable up to 51mm deep (about 2 inches), helping you avoid drilling into live wiring.
Wood, metal, and rebar readings are kept separate, with three wood depth settings (13mm, 25mm, 38mm) and a dedicated metal mode that locates rebar, nails, and copper up to 38mm behind concrete or drywall.
Designed for one-handed use, this device stands 15 cm tall, features a rubberized side grip and a recessed display, and a battery compartment that swaps in under 30 seconds. Choose from Silver, Yellow, or Red finishes and use this single tool for stud finding, live-wire detection, and metal scanning.
