Todd Englund from Milwaukee Tool shows us the Milwaukee 2290-21 Cordless Sub-Scanner. The Milwaukee Sub-Scanner Cordless Detection Tool is the perfect tool for when you need to know what behind a wall or buried in concrete. With its heavy duty pistol grip and durable rubber over molding this is a professional grade tool made to be used on the jobsite under the roughest of conditions. This tool has the power and versatility that you have come to expect from all of the tools in Milwaukee's M12 Platform. The Milwaukee 2290-21 Sub-Scanner rolls smoothly on its four wheels detecting rebar up to 6" deep in concrete as well as telling you the depth of materials beneath gypsum, ceramic tile and marble. This tool can detect the location of wood, PEX, PVC, and metal as well as being able to differentiate between steel (ferrous) and copper or aluminum (Non-Ferrous) metals. The easy to read screen will show you both were the center of a stud is as well as showing you the edges. Voltage detection is also included with this tool so you will know when there are live wires below where you are working.

I have to say, all I'm seeing is a oversized stud finder.

I'd like to know how well this would work on the old lath-and-plaster walls as far as finding studs. Most pre-WW2 houses (including mine) use this type of construction for the interior walls.

Wow, what an ingenious product! Great name too: Sub-Scanner. Finally I can throw all my single use plastic crap meters and buy one that does it all. And since it comes from Milwaukee you know it will last a lot longer than any throw-away Stanley.

Milwaukee is a Home Depot brand, right? Can I just pick one up there?

Whoever thought of this product is a pure genius. Thanks Milwaukee!
