Default Rapitest Cable and Stud detector

That was me

I have been using it for past couple of months and it's been superb.
I'm 99% sure it's a Zircon... the 1% doubt is due to B&Q selling
something of good quality cheap!
As a stud detector this thing works great, it can even detect a change
of density in concrete to a couple inches in depth.

It doesn't have voltage or metal detector but you can get relatively
reliable one of these for not much.

Ah, that would suggest it is not a "tri-scanner" then! ;-)

(which, as the name suggests, does studs, voltage, and metal).

Just in case anyone looks for it in B&Q.. it's identical to this (apart
from the labels of course)
