Wood & Metal Detector Pro is the ultimate scanning tool for homeowners, builders, and DIY enthusiasts in the UK. Effortlessly locate wooden joists, metal pipes, electrical wires, and rebar behind walls, floors, and ceilings with professional-grade accuracy. No more guesswork – get precise measurements to drill, hang, or renovate safely.
**Key Features:**
- **Multi-Mode Detection:** Switch between wood, metal, and live AC wire modes for versatile scanning.
- **High Precision Sensors:** Utilises advanced magnetometer and proximity tech for readings within 2cm accuracy.
- **Visual & Audio Alerts:** Clear LED lights, sound beeps, and vibration feedback guide you to targets.
- **Depth Indicators:** See how deep objects are buried, up to 10cm for metals and 5cm for studs.
- **Calibration Tools:** Auto and manual calibration ensures reliable results on any surface.
- **Measurement History:** Save and review past scans with timestamps and photos.
**Perfect for Everyday Use:**
Whether you're mounting a TV on plasterboard, installing shelves in a stud wall, or checking for pipes before tiling, this app turns your smartphone into a powerful detector. British homes with cavity walls and timber frames are no match – detect lath and plaster hidden gems or modern metalwork with ease.
**How It Works:**
1. Open the app and select your mode (Wood, Metal, or Wires).
2. Hold your phone flat against the surface and slowly move it across.
3. Watch the real-time graph spike as it detects objects; centre the peak for exact location.
4. Mark spots with AR overlays or notes for later reference.
