The Handy Man exists for exactly that moment before it happens. It is a handheld metal-finding wand from First Texas Products tuned for the renovation and workshop world: barn wood, firewood, old framing, plaster walls, and job-site debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Handy Man\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo knobs run it, sensitivity and discrimination, and that simplicity is the feature. Sweep a board and audible tones flag embedded nails and screws; the discrimination knob fades out the smallest bits when you only care about blade-killers. It reads coin-sized metal to 5 in (13 cm) deep and large metal objects to 18 in (46 cm), enough to trace pipes and ducting behind drywall or find the buried clean-out cap the previous owner lawned over. Pinpointing is manual and reliable: sweep an X pattern and the tone peak marks the spot. The sensitivity control also tames electrical interference near live wiring, a job-site reality cheap wands ignore. It runs on two 9V batteries, weighs little, and needs no manual worth mentioning. Designed and made in El Paso, Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandy Man\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetection depth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoin-size metal to 5 in (13 cm); large objects to 18 in (46 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControls\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 knobs: sensitivity + discrimination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeedback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudible tones, proportional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePinpointing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eX-ing sweep method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInterference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity control tames electrical noise\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 x 9V alkaline\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBuilt\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFirst Texas Products, El Paso, Texas, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandy Man metal finder wand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBounty Hunter factory warranty (First Texas Products)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory Seekers carries detection tools for the shop as well as the field.
