## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well
*by J***D on 29 January 2014*

A massive improvement on the dire cheaper detectors, which all have tiny detection ranges. This black and decker on the other hand has worked well in all the older houses I've used it in. It gave me a reliable enough signal to know what was behind the wall, and multiple sweeps across the wall (go slowly!) gave exactly the same result. That's great as it gives good confidence that you've found a wire / trunking and not just a screw or other bit of metal. For the price it's great, compact and a really useful addition to my tool kit (I'm a trainee plumber).One word of warning though - point it at a wall with foil insulation / foil backed boards and it will detect no electricity (as foil screens electromagnetic waves) and will detect metal everywhere (because foil is a metal - so there _is_ metal everywhere). You can easily test this though, by setting to metal, minimum sensitivity, and sweeping the wall. If it beeps constantly then it's foil backed.

### ⭐⭐⭐ It does the job as described in the ad!
*by B***N on 25 September 2012*

This B&D detector is a nice, compact piece of kit and does a decent job of detection for the price and at a reasonable depth (3-5cm). Follow the instructions in the user manual and it will perform well. One criticism of the product is the fact that the clip on plastic battery compartment cover is not a firm fit - could be easily dislodged and lost. I just fitted a strip of adhesive electrical tape to the side of the cover as a precaution.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked for me!
*by F***M on 28 June 2015*

I was a bit dubious about using this following all of the mixed reviews. Reading other user's advice plus the instructions, I found it worked absolutely fine. It helped me to put up 3 wall mounted dispensers in an old building without too much concern I was drilling into something I shouldn't. If it weren't for the negative reviews giving me some level of doubt about the product, I may have thought to give it 5/5 stars. I'd use it again and recommend it
