Wire and Pipe Locator is an Android tools app intended to help users identify hidden wires, pipes, studs, and metal objects before drilling, renovating, decorating, or repairing. The listing presents it as a locator utility that supports several detection modes, including live AC wiring, ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects, pipes, electrical circuits, studs, and network cables.
What does Wire and Pipe Locator detect?
The app description covers more than ordinary wiring. It mentions locating AC live wires, hidden pipes, electrical circuits, studs, network cables, bolts, and other metal objects. This suggests use cases around walls, ceilings, underground areas, and floors, although the listing does not provide measured accuracy, calibration steps, or hardware compatibility details.
How does the app signal a target?
According to the listing, the app emits beeps and vibrations when it is near a target. The beeping noise is described as increasing in speed as the user gets closer, which is intended to help narrow the location of a hidden object during work.
What detection options are listed?
The description states that multiple detection modes are available and that live wires can be detected at a depth range given as 40-30 mm. It also describes the app as easy to use with minimal setup, but those are source claims rather than independently verified performance details.
