Zircon MetalliScanner m40 – Handheld Wall Metal Detector & Stud Finder

Overview

The Zircon MetalliScanner m40 is a handheld metal detector and stud finder designed for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. It helps you uncover metal objects behind walls, floors, and ceilings, including ferrous metals like rebar, nails, and screws, as well as non-ferrous metals such as copper pipes and aluminum conduits. Engineered for use on drywall, plaster, wood, and concrete, this tool supports safer planning before drilling, cutting, or remodeling.

Two scanning modes for precision

Switch between Wide Scan and Pinpoint Scan to balance coverage with accuracy. Wide Scan sweeps larger areas to reveal metal-rich zones, while Pinpoint Scan zooms in on the exact location of a target so you can drill or cut with confidence. This makes it useful as a pipe locator, stud finder, or wall metal detector during renovations.

Visual cues and ergonomic design

A bright blue coil light intensifies as you approach metal, giving you a real-time depth cue to guide your work. The m40 is lightweight and one-handed friendly, so you can keep your other hand free for measuring or guiding a drill. An included battery means you can start using it right away without extra purchases.
