Detect studs, wires and metal
The HW430 is a multifunctional wall detector designed to help locate studs, wood, AC wires, cables and metal. Its sensitive sensors support central target positioning, helping you find a suitable spot for tasks such as hanging a picture or installing a light fixture.
Clear readings as you work
The LCD display shows readings clearly, and its backlight makes data easier to see in dark environments. This handheld tool is designed for DIY electrical jobs and wall projects.
Using your detector
Hold the tool vertically and parallel to the stud, keeping it flat against the wall as you scan slowly. Avoid shaking, tilting or pressing hard, and keep your fingertips on the handle rather than the contact surface.
The HW430 runs on a 9V battery, which is not included. Install a battery before use.
