Great locator
This item has worked very well for us. So well that we've purchased a second. It can be attached to nearly anything and sent down a pipe, duct or conduit to be traced and located.

Works extremely well.
This is my second one. Only had to buy another because the first got lodged and lost in a broken drain line. It was @ 8 yrs old at the time and had worked flawlessly for those 8 yrs.

If f’ng worked. See my videos
I put in the battery. I put the transmitter in a rubber glove and I used electrical tape to fasten the sonde on my unplugged roll of cam cord from the crappy Anyson I had. I sent the transmitter in till it hit first bend. I turned on my scout locator and pointed it like a gun sweep in the area I think it was headed. I pin point the forward going and rea for direction by placing a red and yellow floor marker supplied with the Ridgid scout. I then push cam farther till I am jamming but won’t pass. I take 1 final marker and pin down the blockage that is unlassable and I dig it out on video for you and upload to this review. I discovered I can do better than most using this $407 delivered and the scout I got used on eBay $1101 delivered. Try and beat that. You can’t buy an equal experience for less. Period.

I've own multiple brands and this is the best
I use this for work multiple times a week. It stops working due to connection issues to the battery and will need replaced once a year. Still worth it because as long as the LED is blinking when the cap is tight it is a reliable

Heavy Duty
Works great, very heavy-duty. Held up fine after running on 3/4" pipe snake thru 8" cast iron pipes.

works
your locator will find this sound when used as directed. When locating indoors underslab make sure to turn off any outlets at the breaker. live electrical outlets will interfere with the magnetic fields pulling the locate signal towards the outlet.

Funktioniert, aber mit Einschränkungen
Funktion wie beschrieben, aber ab 3,5 m Tiefe ist, bei unversiegelter Oberfläche, in einem PE Rohr mit einer Wandstärke > 1 cm Feierabend. Bei versiegelten Flächen bereits ab 2 bis 2,5 m. Verwendet wurde das Ridgid SeekTech SR-20.

Importante es que no engañen en la foto
En la foto de la publicación del producto sale dos transmisores uno rojo y el que sale en la foto principal. Llamé preguntando si venían los dos y me dijeron que si y cuando llegó sorpresa solo venía uno. La publicación es engañosa
