How We Compare

Feature ✅ 3-In-1 Detector ❌ Other
Detection Capability ✅ Accurately detects concealed AC cables, metal, and stud work, significantly reducing the risk of accidental drilling into hidden utilities. ❌ Typically only locates wooden studs and lacks the ability to detect AC wiring or metal, which may lead to potential hazards when working on walls.
User Feedback System ✅ Features both audible and visual alerts, providing immediate feedback on detection status, which enhances safety and user confidence during use. ❌ Generally offers limited or no feedback, relying only on a simple LED light, which may not clearly indicate the presence of hazards.
Versatility ✅ Multi-functional device suited for various tasks, making it ideal for both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople. ❌ Primarily focused on finding studs, which restricts its use to a narrower range of applications, making it less practical for comprehensive wall inspections.
