Metal Detector Yato YT-73138 Search Depth 0.12m LCD Display

The Yato YT-73138 metal detector is a handheld instrument designed to locate metal materials at a maximum search depth of 0.12 meters. It includes an integrated LCD display to present detection results and simple status information. Sized at 77 mm (width) × 20 mm (depth) × 200 mm (height), the unit is compact and intended for use on walls and similar surfaces where short-range metal detection is required.

Advantages

The detector's compact dimensions make it easy to handle in confined spaces and on vertical surfaces. The LCD display provides clear visual feedback to the user, supporting straightforward interpretation of detection events. With a specified search depth of 0.12 m, the device is calibrated for near-surface metal locating tasks without the need for larger, more complex equipment.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Locating metallic studs, fasteners or embedded fittings behind drywall and plaster
• Short-range inspections of walls and flat surfaces in renovation and light construction work
• Quick checks for metal presence before drilling or cutting
• Basic site checks by technicians, electricians or DIY users

Key specifications

• Maximum search depth: 0.12 m
• Display: LCD display for detection readout
• Intended detection surface: walls and similar flat surfaces
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 77 mm × 20 mm × 200 mm
• Design: compact handheld form factor for manual scanning

How to use

Hold the device with the detection face close to the wall surface and slowly move it across the area to be inspected. Observe the LCD display for indications of metal presence; when a metal object is detected the display will show a corresponding signal. For consistent results, maintain a steady scanning speed and keep the detector approximately parallel to the surface. Avoid rapid or jerky movements that could make reading the display difficult.

Recommendations

Before drilling or cutting into walls, perform multiple passes over the same area to confirm metal locations. Use the detector in a stable orientation and ensure the surface is free of loose debris for clearer readings. For best results, combine visual inspection with detector readings and allow for the device's 0.12 m maximum detection range when planning interventions in the wall.
