If you’ve ever drilled into a concrete wall, you know how valuable a good metal scanner can be. This Zircon deep-scanning metal locator, with its 6-inch scan depth and depth indication to a 1/2 inch, is effective for finding rebar, mesh, metal pipes, conduit, electrical boxes, ducting, flashing, and other materials. The unit has an ergonomic, easy-to-grip design that weighs only 11 ounces, and it easily stores in a toolbox or bag. It’s water-resistant, has an auto power-off feature, and will run for almost a year on a single 9-volt battery with normal use. It also has a graphic display for well-lighted areas and an audio detection mode for darker areas, features you’re sure to appreciate. –Jonathon Tudor
Customer Review: 6.0 Scanner used for hurricane resistance inspections
Our company has used the Zircon 55586 Metalliscanner 6.0 Deep Scanning Metal Locator for 4 years when conducting hurricane resistance inspections for single family homes. The Scanner is used to detect the presence of re-bar in exterior walls and to detect roof sheathing fasteners (nails) into the roof framing. We check spacing and determine if there are actually fasteners present. The Scanner has worked very well and we like the audible sound that is emitted when a nail is found, it makes the job easier when working in confined spaces associated with many attics.
