If you’ve ever held a drill and prayed you weren’t about to hit a live wire or a PVC water pipe, the Bosch D-tect 200 C is the peace of mind you’re looking for. This isn’t your average $20 stud finder; it uses professional-grade radar technology to detect non-magnetic metals, wooden substructures, and—most importantly—empty or water-filled plastic pipes that standard sensors miss.
It features a high-res display that gives you a “visual” of the wall’s interior, showing you the exact depth and center of objects. You can even take screenshots of your scans and export them via USB-C to document your work. At $701, it’s a high-end investment, but compared to the cost of a flooded kitchen or an electrical fire, it pays for itself in one use
