Take the guesswork out of finding studs in lath-and-plaster walls with the
MetalliScanner m40. The tool identifies the pattern of nails that attach the wooden lath to the studs. Additionally, the metal detector is useful for locating plumbing, ductwork, rebar, and nails and screws in non-metallic surfaces including drywall, paneling, tile, stucco, plaster, and even concrete. Deconstruction or reclaimed-wood projects can also benefit from the MetalliScanner by finding embedded metal in old wood.
