  • Excellent locator at a fraction of professional units
I do industrial electrical work for a living, and we have very expensive locators for finding lines underground. This $199 locator is very easy to use (Turn the power OFF!) and found a feeder buried 24” deep under pavement for me at my home. I only wish I had bought one before now! Sheetrock, lath and plaster, and such should be no problem for this unit, but I have NOT tested that yet. ... show more

  • Excellent...
I'm an electrician, and for some time now I've been looking for equipment like this that would help me get more done on time. This equipment works excellently. Almost as good as the more expensive ones from this brand. Finally, the brand understood that not everyone can afford such expensive equipment and that it can help them do better work. Thank you, Ideal, for considering all the budgets of electricians. ... show more

  • Excellent Tool
This is a great tool! I had ordered a cheaper model from another supplier and it was junk. This is a true industrial tool made for professionals. I was able to easily trace a wire in my walls that was not connected to the breaker box. Once I found where it dead ended, I was able to get to it and make a connection. It is very sensitive on the highest setting, so I dial it back per the instructions. The instructions are very good (and in English). ... show more

  • No instructions
No instructions on the case I had no clue how to use it. So I returned it.

  • Lemon
I must have purchased a lemon. It’ll get me to which breaker box the breaker is in but on the lowest sensitivity it won’t identify which breaker. Contacted customer support and I was supposed to get a call back. That was a month ago and I’m stuck with a useless $200 tool and a company with the hardest customer support to contact. ... show more

  • Traces anything metal, Pipes and wires.
Great product. I’ve used it to trace sprinkler wire underground. I’ve traced copper pipes in walls with this. I’ve also traced copper wires deep underground. Easy to use and love having it in my truck. Very useful.
