  • Blade saver
Has already paid for itself by detecting nails in logs before putting through the sawmill. The nails would have ruined blades

  • Excellent product.
It works as advertised. Will save us some blades in the future. The instructions are on the back of the display card in small print. The device is not intuitive and instructions are needed.

  • I Got What I Paid For
Over due for one of these by about forty years, I took the plunge and gambled my $140.00 would be well spent. The non-Prime shipping was quick and the package was well wrapped. - This is a large unit, so you'll have to work at it to lose it in the shop. - The controls are easy to use. - Adjusting the unit is easy. The nylon screw for turning the trimming potentiometer (to control senitivity) is accessible from the top. Just follow the simple directions. That includes keeping the Wizard far from things like your cabinet saw or other large iron or metal objects when making adjustments. - The unit sounded when ran over aluminum, copper and metal or iron. I tested the unit by trying to find 1/2" long, sixteen gauge brads in plywood. It performed as stated [and I hoped]. Each attempt to find metal objects held under one of my 3/4" plywood topped carts, with a layer of laminate, was successful. This could be useful in the future, since I've had trouble finding screws that had to be removed to disassemble items. As they say, expensive tools only hurt once. Now that I have it, if this saves me from dulling a couple band saw or table saw blades, those saves will not only, effectively, pay part of the cost of the detector by my not having to spend money to replace or sharpen blades, but will save me a LOT of time I, otherwise, would have spent resharpening a band saw blade or hauling a fine table saw blade to the sharpener. Too, there is the matter of reduced frustration of losing time swapping blades. ... show more

  • Great value!
Just received and haven't actually tested it on wood yet. I did a quick home test with a small bread bag twist tie. The kind with a very thin wire (Thinner than a pin nail). It accurately detected the beginning and end of the wire through a 480 page book. I think it will work just fine.

  • Great tool and SUPER GREAT Service!
Oh man, I would love to have this kind of service with all vendors. I bought this tool last year in July since I got a ton of old Pine Heart lumber...from a barn over 100 years old. They were up to 2.5 inches thick, very heavy. And this tool was great! It detected it all, it was fast, self calibrating, and I was able to plane and saw the lumber without any issue. It was KEY to have a save and rewarding woodworking experience. This year I planned to used the lumber again, and for some reason the wizard was nor working right...I always try to test it with a nail or something under the board in order to make sure it will detect anything inside of the board...and it was erratic. I tried changing batteries, but without luck. So, I read it had 1 year of warranty..I shoot them an eMail...and I got an immediate response, replacement was on it's way! No questions asked! I had the new wizard in my hands just 3 days later!!! It is so amazing. I'd do business again with them anytime!!! ... show more
