How to find hidden wiring in the wall for a few minutes?

When carrying out repairs in the apartment, it is very important to know the exact location of wiring in the wall, otherwise you can accidentally hurt her or worse yet to receive an electric shock.

To avoid these troubles it is best to use professional detectors, which will help you to find a few minutes.

But for various reasons, not all of them are at hand. In fact, such devices are quite expensive and the need to be able to use them. Therefore, there are some popular ways to search for hidden wiring. which we will discuss below.

The most budget in my opinion is to use the method of LED indicator screwdriver. Its cost is quite low, ranging from 150 - 200 rubles depending on the region of residence.

For example, I use a screwdriver firm Sparta, its peculiarity is that it is possible to determine the voltage in a contactless manner.

Powered by three small tablet battery, which is enough really for a long time, even with very frequent use. There are exactly the same screwdriver to other manufacturers. in our case it is important the presence of a non-contact voltage detection.

So. how do you find the wiring in the wall? Everything is ridiculously simple. You need to grab with your fingers over the metal flat tip screwdriver and the other end of the drive on the wall. In case of wiring with electric flowing in it, have a built-in LED lights screwdriver.

In this method, there is a negative side, the fact that the indicator react if the wires hidden in the wall to a depth of no more than five centimeters. if deeper. then unfortunately we have to resort to a more serious hardware, which I mentioned at the beginning of this article.

Anyway, in most cases to find wiring fails, at least worth a try, once again not to lay out the money for a more professional approach.
