Great problem solver!
With all due respect to the negative reviews, this product worked flawlessly for me and created a solution to a problem that I have been battling for a month now. I am not an engineer or electrician but I am decently handy. The product is straightforward and decently easy to use. Just follow the instructions on the videos and you are good to go. Pro tip: get a couple of zip ties to fix the receiver to a stick or something so you don't have to bend down sniffing for that wire. I'd buy again no question about it. ... show more

Powerful
I am searching for the phone line that comes up my 500 foot driveway in a rural setting to put in a sewer line that will go right over / under the phone / DSL line. At first I connected the leads to the 2 active lines. The receiver registered 53 volts. First good sign since phone lines have voltage and I was worried I might burn out the unit, which it did not. It signal only went out about 5 feet. I then connected to one active line and the ground. That turned out to be the correct connection; don't forget to turn the transmitter to transmit since turning it on does not automatically start transmitting. The user manual has lots of examples but being new to this, I wasn't sure which connection to use. The receiver comes on in AUTO mode, the most sensitive setting. It was so powerful, I stood there with the receiver at waist height and could follow the line at a walking pace. When I got to the spot where the sewer line was going to cross, about 250 feet from the transmitter, I put the receiver in the least sensitive setting by putting the receiver in manual and pressing the down arrow several times. Even at the lowest setting it still picked up the signal loud and clear. I then got on my knees and swept back and forth until I found the line and started digging. As I dug down, I used the unit to pin point if I was getting close. I did not want to cut the line so I was very cautious while digging with the shovel, even though in my area, the phone line is in a metal conduit. Just for fun, I even used the unit to find where my sprinkler values were buried. Overall, this unit is very impressive. I read several reviews of cheaper units where there were complaints of poor user manuals and weak signal. This unit is powerful and the user manual is very extensive... almost too extensive, but I would rather it be very detailed when I use it for more complex projects. Also note that when I first connected the unit to the phone line, I disconnected the modem thinking the transmitter signal would damage the modem / router. It started raining so I disconnected the unit and put the modem back online and had to continue later. When I went back out to continue hunting, I forgot to disconnect the modem. I finished flagging the spot and remembered the modem. It didn’t do anything to it and my internet service is working normally. I don’t know enough of the technical details of the transmitter to know if it could damage a modem / router, but in my case, it did not. ... show more

Good for the price
Can’t beat this for the price. It cost me less than half the cost if renting one for a day. I used it to find a buried and broken 120v cable in my yard. It works, but requires a bit of trial and error with the signal strength and sensitivity controls. I got some false signals. All in all I’m glad I bought it. One tip, make sure you fully charge it before use. The transmitter battery doesnt last all that long. I was able to tun mine live on the USB-C connector. ... show more

works great
This worked really well - traced wires 18 inches underground - saved a ton of work finding long buried cables highly recommended!

Works great.
I used it to find a robot mower boundary wire break, and it worked great. I bought a cheaper locator before, and it didn't work. This one works great, but the online videos on how to use it aren't the best.

It was a waste of money
Pure junk. It shows to have a ground rosld which it didn't have one. No big deal I used a screwdriver. The directions stink and there isn't anyway to test the device. I think the leads were not making contact inside the device because it wouldn't read anything. It would be nice of there was a phone number in the booklet so you could call someone for technical assistance. Needless to say it is going back. ... show more

Works to locate galvanized water pipes, but there is a caveat.
I don't have a locator wire on my galvanized water pipes, and unfortunately, a pipe sheared off in an area that would cost thousands of dollars to open up and fix. So I wanted to trace the pipe with this locator. I pushed the included ground rod into the moist sand near the pipe, clamped the black clamp to the ground and the red clamp to the pipe itself (used sandpaper to ensure a good connection). I turned on the transmitter, pressed the transmit button, then walked around using the receiver to try to find where the pipe went. Nope—didn't work at all. I was disappointed and considered returning it. I then looked over the settings of the transmitter itself and noticed it had a code set button. What are these mysterious codes, you ask? I searched the manual and was still dumbfounded because I didn't find a single reference to what that code set button did. I suspect it sends out a different type of signal—different frequency, different waveform, etc.—because once I changed the code from A to E, Bob's your uncle, the receiver started beeping like a Star Wars robot, telling me where the pipe was. I found that when the pipe is over 3 ft deep, the number displayed will be something like 59, and moving to the left or right, this number will drop, and there is a change in tone. It was well worth the price to me; I just wish they had a better manual. ... show more

Please be aware of what you are considering here.
Please be aware of what you are considering here. I purchased this product in hopes it could be used to locate a broken sprinkler valve cable after the fiber provider broke it during installation in my gravel driveway. I am an engineer and I use electronic equipment all the time. Upon using this unit I quickly found it was not going to do the job. But I tried anyways. I followed the instructions to the letter. Essentially this is a very unsophisticated noise maker that follows some of the principles of a transmitter/locator set, but it takes you on a wild goose chase with its very poor accuracy and limited indicators on the LCD screen. IMHO they started off with the wrong frequency and it bleeds into anything nearby. Better locators have different and/or more frequencies and they have more indicators that help you determine if you are even making headway. In the end I wanted this to work so bad I spent four hours tracing things down and several times it took me in the wrong direction. Lots of digging for no reason. I finally rented a real locator from the local rental store and found the break in 15 minutes. Ten minutes of that time was watching the instructional video for the rental unit. Four hours and no conclusion vs 5 minutes with a real solution and no more additional wasted digging, what would you choose if you knew ahead of time what you were buying. Please note, I watched several of the videos that people put out on this unit and now I know why they either showed the wire above ground only, or when they showed that there was a signal for an underground cable they never showed the results, just that there was a signal that there was a cable buried somewhere. I am giving two stars because it could possibly be used as a circuit breaker finder as indicated in the literature. Not tested, but it is so simple, i have to assume it can at least do this. ... show more
