Product Review

Anyone who has worked with wood long enough to ruin a blade or two knows there are hidden nails, screws, fasteners, and other small metal objects buried inside not just used lumber but new lumber as well. This combo pack for Wizard Detectors is designed to protect your planer, jointer, router, and saw blades by detecting those hidden hazards before they become costly inconveniences. The Lumber Wizard provides a wide 6-inch scanning path and powerful detection. The unit can be set to vibrate whenever it encounters a piece of hidden metal, making it ideal for use in noisy workshops. An audio alert is also available and can be turned on or off independently of the vibrating one. The Little Wizard provides a 2-inch scanning path and is ideally suited for shallow detection on smaller jobs. Unlike its larger cousin, the Little Wizard doesn’t have a vibrating mode, but it does give off an audio alert whenever it encounters a hidden obstacle in your lumber.--Carl Thress

Much better at finding studs(by detecting the nails) than using a stud finder. Superb tool for installing crown molding in older homes with plaster walls and difficult to find studs. A real blade saver for the jointer and planer. ...

I have purchased both units separately. The small unit can pickup heads of nail etc in walls but it is not sensitive enough to check for metal in wood before planing. The large red unit is great - it has an ear piece so you can hear sound as it senses metal while you in a noisy shop or other area as well as a vibrating mode or both.I did one sensitivity test. I drove 1/2" 18guage finish nail from my air gun into a 3/4" block of wood recessing it a fraction of an inch below the surface. The big unit picked up the brad on both sides of the wood. The little unit couldn't find it. I believe it's because their isn't enough mass in the tiny nail. If you like to recycle lumber or repair old furniture then the red unit will save your planer and saw blades which = frustration and money. It's great for finding hidden nails in repaired furniture.
