What I needed for Electrical
This is a tool to have for me, in my opinion. My opinion means nothing, but it works for me.Will this be a great tool for you? It depends. If you need to locate just studs in a wall some DIY stuff…then there are more affordable options.If you are like me…installing car chargers and drilling through brick and concrete walls…this might give you a fighting chance along with having experience in the trades or engineering.For me, I couldn’t care about if an object in a wall is electrical (live/dead), gas, or plumbing. I just don’t want to hit it. I know studs are 16” or 24” on center roughly. I know gas, plumbing, electric usually ain’t uniformed in a wall. For me, I just want to hit a stud on a wall to mount something or drill through a cement/brick/drywall and not hit anything.I need a tool that will sound off about anything suspect in a wall. That’s it period.This is the best tool for that. 4” deep scan read on brick or cement wall is wicked good. There are $1k plus scanners that give percentage rates of failure but still no definitive yes or no’s.

Semi - Professional Stud Finder
The accuracy of this finder is amazing. I needed to locate a stud behind a gypsum wallboard faced with ceramic tile. The stud had to be precisely located to securely screw in a safety grab bar in our bathroom. Merely slide the detector along the surface until the signal strength indicator is maxed and the center crosshairs illuminate. That's the centerline of the stud plus or minus 1/2 inch. The composition of the wall or floor material can be selected on the finder if known. Choices are wallboard, concrete or universal. Finder works very well at the universal setting. There is an audio tone to assist the visual indication. By default it's "on". Technology of the device is based on a radar detector rather than inexpensive magnetic or capacitance devices. Main benefit of the dtud finder is the confidence in accurate results it gives to the user. Bosch also makes professional use versions of the finder at very much higher cost. Manufacturer claims the device can locate hollow pipes and electrical conductors but I did try these uses.

El producto no coincide con la publicación, no trae el hard case y no es nuevo.
The media could not be loaded. Los problemas que tuve con este producto fueron los siguientes.Cuando lo recibí no venia con el hard case como se ve en la publicación, aunque no fue el motivo de mi devolución ya que me gustó el estuche en el que venía y decidí conservarlo, sin embargo traía una estampa que era un producto original de BOSCH y también su etiqueta de que era un producto nuevo, pero cuando abrí la caja note que no traía las baterías y en la portada dice que están incluidas, vi un par de videos del unboxing de este producto y si trae las baterías y un pequeño plástico que proteje la pantalla pero el mio no lo traia, ahun así decidí conservarlo pense que tal vez alguien lo devolvió pero el detector seguramente estaba en buenas condiciones y fui a The home depot a comprar un paquete de baterías recargables con su cargador para poder usarlo.Cuando lo encendi inmediatamente comencé a utilizarlo en los muros donde sabía lo que había por dentro y detecto los cables eléctricos, madera y tuberia, pero en el tercer modo de de detección de varillas de acero el sensor detectava sin ponerlo en el muro, no parava de sonar y el led permanecía en rojo en todo momento solo se quitava si cambiaba a los 2 primeros modos de detección, decidí investigar si este comportamiento era normal pero no lo era, el funcionamiento normal es independientemente de los tres modos que elijas el aparato no deve enviar la alarma de detección hasta que lo colocas en el muro, hacia esto solo en los 2 primeros modos pero el tercero la alarma no se apagaba y tal vez tenia un defecto de fabrica, imagino que alguien lo regreso y me lo vendieron a mí con un descuento pero creo que prefiero un producto completamente funcional, no dudo de que sea un gran producto pero por los comentarios de los demás compradores me di cuenta que nadie recibió lo que está en la publicación, algunos recibieron otro tipo de caja o estuche, y alguien tuvo el mismo problema que yo que no dejaba de sonar la alarma, creó que lo comprare con un distribuidor autorizado BOSCH para tener la tranquilidad de recibir algo nuevo, y ese fue el motivo de mi devolución creo que este producto le volverán a poner la etiqueta de nuevo y lo venderán más barato, incluso hay un mensaje en la publicación de que tiene muchas devoluciones para que lo consideren.

Ok, but overpriced and not detailed enough
I always like Bosch products but this one was a disappointment. As others said, it doesn’t easily differentiate between studs, wire and pipe.First off, I’m a fairly smart person but just assembling and inserting the battery was a bit of a challenge initially. The manual, written in at least 15 languages is fairly vague and cumbersome. I had a difficult locate, 2 power cables and two pipes between studs not on 16” centers. It was difficult to figure out what was what.My old $30 stud and cable finder gave me a similar hot mess as the Bosch.I returned it to try another type looking for a better result.

Disappointing Performance considering the high cost
I had high hopes for the BOSCH D-TECT 120 Wall and Floor Detection Scanner, but unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown. Unlike the overseas version, the US version does not accept Bosch's 12v batteries, which was disappointing. Additionally, while the device does find many items within the wall, it does not differentiate wall studs from pipes, wires, or other items to avoid. While it sometimes detected live wires, this is a hit-or-miss proposition at best. Overall, it is too expensive to be as unreliable as it is. There are detectors that are much cheaper with similar performance in standard drywall situations. Perhaps if it is used to detect items within concrete, then it might be worth the cost. Overall, I would not recommend this product unless you have a specific need for detecting items within concrete and are willing to overlook its shortcomings.
