Little Wizard II - Woodworking Metal Detector

It detects nails, screws, staples, bullets, wire, and other metal fragments hidden inside new or reclaimed lumber so you can remove them before cutting. This protects router bits, saw blades, and jointer or planer knives from costly damage. Find it among our measuring & layout tools.

It is rated to detect larger metal pieces up to 3" deep and is sensitive enough to find a staple buried up to 3/8" deep into your workpiece.

The Little Wizard II detects many types of metal, including brass, bronze, steel, aluminum, zinc, and even stainless steel.

The detector has a 2-1/2" wide scanning area, letting you cover boards quickly and work efficiently on any size of wood.

The unit features a tone alert that sounds to indicate the presence of metal, so you get a clear audible signal whenever something is detected.

No manual calibration is required. The Little Wizard II automatically re-calibrates after each use for consistent, accurate detection.

No. The Little Wizard II runs on a 9V battery, which is not included, so you will need to supply one before use.
