Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of American Hawks Hand Held Metal Detector with Red LED Alert and Audio Alert LIFETIME WARRANTY
Customer Review: Sweet!
Summary: 5 Stars
So far, this thing has worked like a champ, helping me find hidden nails and staples in reclaimed lumber. I only use it after I've visually inspected the boards and removed any nails/staples that I find. It has found 4 nails that were buried in the reclaimed lumber to the point that I couldn't see them. As others have reported, the device only gives you a general vicinity of the object that it senses. I used a small rare earth magnet to narrow down the search for the hidden nails. With the magnet, I was able to substantially narrow down the search area, enough to find the nails with a little digging with my shop knife.
This thing will save me a lot of grief with avoided damage to my jointer and planer and handplane blades. I may buy another, just to have a spare.
Customer Review: great for woodworking
Summary: 5 Stars
scanned over 100 BF of salvaged lumber and pulled out a lot of nails and bits of metal. the only problem is that sometimes its hard to narrow down exactly were the pieces were if they were buried. i found that if i held a powerful magnet in my fingertips and ran it over the area i had narrowed it down to, that i could feel the pull on the magnet once it was over the metal. that seemed to work great. all other metal detectors are way more expensive, i am not sure why since the technology is very simple. this one works great, especially if you are the kiond of person that only needs it every once in a while and the more expensive ones just aren't worth it.Customer Review: it really works
Summary: 5 Stars
I doubt the quality when I saw the price. I decided to give it a try since it is offered at amazon and I never had problem returning if I don't like it. The metal detector turns out to be much better than I thought. It can detect very tiny metal hidden on the floor. I bought a couple more again.Customer Review: Very simple to use
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for my dad. He uses old wood to make a lot of stuffs. There were cases when the nail inside the wood broke the knifes he uses to carve. I just thought this metal detector might help. It is so cheap compared with other brand. My dad told me this one worked great for him.Customer Review: I bought this one together with the basic model
Summary: 5 Stars
Both detectors helped me during installation or removal of carpet. I could probably do the job without them, but those small nails could easily hurt my hand. I definately recommend these two models as a good tool for home improvement.
