The product came very timely (even in the middle of the Christmas rush). It was in original packaging and our son loved it. Amazon did a great job.
1st) I left a detailed reply with amazon before; however, you chose not to post it. In short, do not purchase this metal detector since it is unable to scan deeply into a piece of wood and it's inconsistant (device works when it wants to).-Scott
I am afraid there are snakes in the piles of salvaged wood. And it wasn't because they had nail guns or anything.The buzzer and vibration modes leave no doubt that it is activated. Like many people who bought this product, I use a fair amount of old lumber. I have never hit a nail yet, so it is sensitive enough for me. It is cheap insurance for your various blades. but the piles are a lot smaller now because I use the stuff.One reason I can safely recycle the wood is because of this detector. It is interesting that in them ole days there was evidently a surplus of nails as they used vastly more than anyone could possibly think were necessary.
Maybe that is a little harsh. I have pretty much rebuilt my old house and haven't thrown away the old growth wood. I took off a star because this is very long and only part of it is active, so that is silly and makes it harder to use than necessary. It works perfectly for me on the typical planks and up to 4X8 wood I stash. It even picks up the rust left behind by long-departed nails. It is a good and useful product, one that is necessary for those of us who use recycled wood. I recommend it.
I have a Lumber wizard I got a while back - it worked for a while but now it doesn't work, and having paid $100 for it I tried to get it fixed. You can search all day and night on the internet, call the numbers on the instructions, the company that makes this is now hiding behind some internet distribution outfit that won't return e-mails or phone calls requesting info on how to get it fixed.Forget it, no after purchase service at all. Very disappointing $100 piece of junk I now own.
Every wood worker with a planer or joiner should have one of these. The cost of one of these will save you valuable time and money on your blades by finding rouge nails hiding out in your wood. Just one nail will ruin your day and your blades, plus the time to reset your new blades.I recommend this product.
