Faithfull 3-in-1 Detector Stud, Metal & Live Wire

This Faithfull versatile advanced electronic live wire detector helps avoid costly mistakes caused by drilling into concealed power cables, gas or water pipes, and removes any guesswork when securing fixtures, hanging pictures, or fitting shelving by pinpointing a solid base for fixing.

The detector can be used to detect and locate wooden studwork, metal, and AC voltage, providing a clear indication of concealed objects using the LED and buzzer indicator system. A marking groove is provided at the top of the detector so the surface can be marked prior to any drilling, nailing, or screwdriving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep can the Faithfull live wire detector actually detect a live cable?
In AC mode, it typically detects live cables to a depth of around 50mm for standard 90-250V wiring at 50-60Hz. Detection depth can vary depending on wall material and cable orientation, so always double-check before drilling even after a clear reading.
Can the Faithfull 3-in-1 Detector find wood studs as well as live wires?
Yes. It works in three modes: stud mode for locating wood and metal studs and their centre, metal mode for finding nails, pipes, rebar, and other hidden metal objects, and AC mode for detecting and tracing live cables.
What's the marking groove on the Faithfull live wire detector for?
It lets you mark the wall surface directly at the detector's position before drilling, nailing, or screwing, so you don't lose track of exactly where the stud, pipe, or cable was detected once you move the tool away.
Does the Faithfull 3-in-1 Detector come with a battery?
Yes. It's supplied with a 9V 6F22 alkaline battery, so it's ready to use straight out of the box without needing to buy one separately.
