Bosch Floor Detection Scanner D TECT Review

Wasn't very accurate when I tested it on drywall with existing 2x4 studs and electrical wiring. I need something more consistent and precise for my work.

I had to find a blockage behind a tile/cement board to install a rail in the shower stall. I've tried regular spike finders. It does not work. This unit did the job.

Works well enough to justify keeping the tool, works just as well as any other stud locator. Easy to use and when the conditions are right I can get enough information behind the wall.

This is probably the most accurate and user friendly scanner/thorn finder I have ever used. It is ready to use in a few seconds after switching on. It may seem a bit pricey, but given the number of spike finders I've bought over the years in a bid to find the "best," my search is probably over, which will eventually result in savings.

Works great as a thorn seeker. Nothing more. It "roughly" found the studs in my wall, but my $15 device was more accurate. I added a few individual drawers on our staircase. Everything went well at first, except that a live Romex was attached to the hairpin (should have alerted her). Second, a filled water pipe was tied to the rack (again, nothing should have been alarmed). I sent the device back immediately. To sum up, a great spike finder. Nothing more.

This wall scanner isn't much better than the $35 Zircon. If not, then the same. Its inaccuracies are really disappointing for such an expensive device. I tested it on different materials. I can't say it's been on the pavement exactly once. It's 50/50 at best on drywall and virtually non-existent on concrete. If your home hood is based on construction and installation, you cannot risk such a tool. I will say that this is a luxury purchase for those who have the money to spend on a glorified stud

Works well. But it's too expensive for what it can do. I use an old school magnet to find the studs. The magnet finds studs 100%, this tool is 97% safe. I introduced this because it can scan other surfaces like brick and concrete. There is no jury yet. Bosch makes great products, but this one sometimes makes me doubt. BOSCH, we have to be 100% sure about that. Take an X-ray so we can see behind the wall for ourselves. We pay your price.

The accuracy of this viewfinder is amazing. I had to find a stud behind a ceramic tile lined drywall. The pin had to be positioned precisely to securely screw the fall protection in our bathroom. Simply move the detector along the surface until the signal level meter reaches its maximum value and the center cross hairs light up. This is the centerline of the bolt plus or minus 1/2 inch. The composition of the material of the wall or floor, if known, can be selected in the search engine. Choice…
