On the hunt for a stud
Zircon Corp.'s TriScanner OneStep and MultiScanner OneStep take the guesswork out of locating the best place to drill or nail into a stud
The TriScanner OneStep is a 3-in-1 tool that accurately locates studs, joists, metal and rebar, with an additional AC WireWarning feature that alerts the user to the presence of unshielded, hot electrical wires. It also features an easy-to-read LED screen.
The MultiScanner OneStep includes all the features of the TriScanner, but has a back-lit LCD screen, and can trace, as well as detect, hot voltage.
Both tools feature an ergonomic design, non-slip grip, and a distinctive, high-impact yellow case that is built to withstand a rough-and-tumble environment. Custom, integrated circuitry incorporates patented technology that reduces the number of parts, while permitting the scanners to see through surfaces up to 1 ½-in. thick for studs, other metal such as water pipes, and electricity. The CenterVision technology will find the precise center of studs up to 4-in. wide. It also can scan through 3 in. of concrete to locate rebar. A centrally mounted switch allows users to easily change modes. Zircon Corp. www.zircon.com
