If you have ever drilled a hole in a wall, then you have probably worried about hitting water pipes, electrical cables, or phone lines. You may have been trying to hang something on the wall and needed to put a hanger into the wall stud. The Bosch gms120 is the perfect tool to have in your toolbox to avoid just such an occasion. 
What do you do when you can’t see any indication of where the studs may be. You can try the old trick of knocking on the sheet rock to listen for a different sound, but this can be truly unreliable. How do you know if you only hit a small portion of the corner or didn’t get the hanger all the way into the wall stud. You could also guess and keep poking small holes until you find the edge of the stud. This works great if you know how to patch sheetrock and fill in with paint. These methods just don’t work and you need a tool that can tell you where both sides of wall studs are, the cables and pipes may be. The Bosch gms120 can help with locating metal and wood studs for any purpose.
What about drilling holes into walls? Nothing to worry about, right? Wrong, if you hit a telephone line, a water pipe or electrical line then you have a major problem. If you don’t have a tool like the Bosch gms120, you will have some major problems that will likely cause sheet rock damage, paint damage and could be fatal if a live wire is hit. If you are using a drill bit to bore a hole into the wall and you clip a pipe, causing a minor water leak, you may not know it for many days or weeks. If you hit a phone line, you may have to demo sheet rock to find the problem and get it repaired. An electrical problem can result as well when you don’t have something to detect lines like the Bosch gms120.
The Bosch gms120 is a combination stud finder, electrical finder and metal locator in one convenient package. It will detect metal studs, metal pipes, electrical lines and wood studs with one pass and let you know exactly where the edge of any stud is. It has been dubbed the most reliable detector in its class and has worked hard for that title.
The Bosch gms120 calibrates itself, eliminating user caused errors and saving time when on the job. Just place the detector against the wall and begin using it. It is simple and easy to find anything behind the walls that you want to avoid.
This detector has an automatic “center finder” that will reliably locate the center of metal studs and wood studs alike. This insures that you will always hit the meat of the stud to insure that whatever you hang on the wall will be sturdy and never come out.
The Bosch gms120 has 3 separate operating modes, including drywall, metal and power cables. It can find live electrical cables and telephone lines up to 5 centimeters deep and wood studs up to 3.8 centimeters deep. It can also locate ferrous metals at a depth of 12 centimeters and non-ferrous metals up to 12 centimeters. If you have something behind your wall, the detector will find it and let you know exactly where it is.
The Bosch gms 120 has both visual and auditory alarms to let you know exactly where the obstruction is. The visual screen will tell you when you have found the edges and the exact center of whatever you are looking for. The audible alarm is great for low light situations and a quick scan. Utilizing both systems you are sure to never miss a stud or hit something you don’t want to.
