Description

The 18V LXT® Cordless Multi-Surface Scanner (tool only) quickly locates objects in multiple types of base materials to allow for immediate cutting, drilling or coring. It is capable of detecting a variety of embedded objects such as metal, wood, plastic, and shielded electrical wire up to 7” deep. Select different modes to scan dry concrete, wet concrete, wood, drywall, and hollow block. The multi-detection mode allows for scanning in up to three parallel surface positions. This helps detects objects running diagonally. The large 4” illuminated interface displays center, edge position, and relative width and depth of embedded objects. A laser guide assists with straight travel across the surface and provides a center position of the sensor for increased accuracy. An L.E.D. light illuminates the scan zone for increased visibility in dark areas. The scanner is designed for use in demanding job sites. A rubberized over-mold, IP-54 rating, and Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) all provide increased durability. XPT™ is a protective seal inside the tool. It is designed to improve a tool’s operation in harsh conditions by channeling water and dust from key internal components. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection- equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

update: I was on makita site looking for more information and I realized there was a manual that should have come with the tool. Talk about simplifying the process…i’m not much for manuals, but this one is a must or at least saves a lot of trial and error, bumbling around. So if you get one without a manual - head to makita’s website and read it first. There is hardly any documentation and learning to interpret what it tells me is probably the bigger issue. I am also color blind, but truthfully don’t know whether that matters or not. I have to say that if makita made a 10 minute video on interpreting results, this would be worth six stars! The impetus for buying this came with me needing to try and locate a drain line in a concrete slab to tie into. Yes I could just start jack hammering, but all the duct work and some of the electrical is buried in the slab as well as the plumbing. The last thing I want to do is make a nightmare out of a bad dream. So what I have done, is started using it where I know there are stuff in the slab. Like next to a register where I know duct work ties in. Unexpectedly, the duct work doesn’t make a dot, but you can see the void in the concrete. Amazingly, this slab has welded wire and the machine actually measures the spacing. I have figured out that the dots are not to scale - which was my initial quandary - is it rebar or is it refrigerant piping??? I can tell one by depth and secondly because of the repeating pattern. I have also found that a dim room makes the tool much easier to read the subtleties of the display. in radar mode it doesn’t display the depth. I believe that the display from top to bottom represents a cross section of the slab from top to bottom, sort of like a slice from an MRI and not an x-ray like I originally anticipated. The last picture is in “panel mode.”. There is a 3” copper pipe at this location which is indicated by the bright display. in panel mode studs seem to appear as a dull linear artifact. As I said, I think there is quite a bit that an experienced user could tell me and with trial and error, I hope to get there. it really is an amazing piece of tech…however, 5 years from now it will probably look like an Atari 2600 as opposed to a PS5😊. ... show more

    • NOT CLEAR -Penetration Overacted.
It was suppose to scan through wood, and penetrate at least 4 inches. It didn't. I was hoping to find my floor joists. I think it found something but the images where not clear. The wood floor was 1-1/4 inch plywood. I had no confidence in the device. I tried to find my roof joists but the results were worse. It would not scan through composition roof tiles and 5/8 inch thick plywood. The directions did not address any of these, what I thought was common things the homeowners would scan for. I particularly wanted to find my roof joists as I am adding solar. There is really nothing out there to scan for roof joists that I could find. ... show more

    • Shame it doesn't have discrimination, deal-breaker!!
UPDATE: Don't bother, NEW D-Tect 200 SUPERIOR for SAME PRICE! I'm partial to Makita products. Most every power/li-ion tool I posses is Makita as a professional contractor. I'm afraid they missed the mark with this "multi-surface" scanner though. While is does a fine job locating anomalies and the interface is terrific, it has NO discrimination, it gives no indication as to the material detected below/behind the surface. A perfect example for comparison is the Bosh D-Tect 150, It identifies ferrous/non ferrous metal, wood/ABS and most important, live/electrical....A MUST, especially when you're talking a $1,300 price-point. The D-Tect is the logical purchase at $800 NEW here on Amz (currently jacked-up to $949) You just can't sacrifice the flexibility/usability of the "long-time" Bosh unit, which does a tremendous job on all surfaces, for the love of a brand, not to mention the overpricing of this Makita lacking the discrimination of the Bosch unit. If you're considering a scanner for concrete alone, go to one of the Hilti units. ... show more
