Thank God your back on site Tel, I nearly jumped in the river due to being completely fed up

Did you find out who he was? Maybe you could borrow Telectrix's hammer and go sort him out ;-) seriously any recommendations?

Stanley one is alright

i've got the bosch one, but use it just for cables and metal. suppose it can find the nails, same way as nails find cables when we let wood butchers out of their kennels,

Thanks, I'm looking for one that I can use for a job where I can't lift the floor above to fit down lights in a kitchen. The bathroom above the kitchen is newly tiled.

I own a Bosch dmf. I think it might handle wood ok, but absolutely useless for power and pipe detecting.

I also own a generic Rapitest wire and pipe detector which works better for power/metal. There is a joist and stud detector version which you might want to try.

Looking for something that does the job better in a few months if anyone knows of anything?

Thanks peeps ill take a look.

I tend to find a fast fix box is a good stud detector.....cos wherever I want to cut one in there seems to always be a stud right in the middle of it!

I find strong magnets are pretty good for finding the plasterboard nails which indicate a stud location
