Detection deep and wideThe scanner offers the Bosch Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) radar technology, which offers a wide range of detection performance up to 6 inches. The actual object depth is displayed, making it easy to determine the amount of material cover over the object. And this scanner can detect plastic pipes. It self-calibrates once the user starts detection and continues to self-calibrate during detection. |
Seven detection modesThe Bosch D-tect 150 Wall/Floor Scanner with Radar features seven detection modes, including concrete, wet concrete, deep concrete, in-floor heating, drywall, metal and signal view. The user can find wood studs; plastic pipes; metal objects, such as rebar, metal studs or steel/copper pipe; or live wiring in floors and walls. The four-wheel design allows it to easily maneuver across surfaces. |
Large illuminated displayThe Bosch D-tect 150 has an easy-to-read backlit graphical display that indicates the depth and location of the object, plus mode, detection strength and more. The innovative signal view provides detection when two objects are close together – showing two peaks for the two separate objects. It is also used for big empty plastic pipes, to estimate the size of the pipes. |
Deep detection of metalsThe Bosch D-tech 150 can detect ferrous and nonferrous metals up to 6 In. in concrete. It has a maximum detection depth of up to 3-1/8 inches for electrical copper wiring and up to 1-1/2 inches for wood studs. The graphical display shows the center, edge and depth of an object.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I installed over 200 feet for solar rails on a shingled roof that now has 77 panels on it. Once I became familiar with it, the tool worked nearly flawlessly. I may have missed a few rafters but it located 98% of them accurately. I used a 1/4” piece of fiber board to provide a smooth rolling surface.
It is expensive but saved me a lot of time measuring between rafters and missing with the drill. I highly recommend it.
Unfortunately for the work I usually perform -finding studs, pipes, etc... behind drywall- the Bosch D-Tech 150 was terrible. Not only was it not better than my $20 unit but it was much worse. So bad perhaps the unit I got was defective; it would miss studs and give one reading one minute and another the next. The limitations in the directions don't build confidence either; problems with hollow walls, objects being too close, etc... In any case I won't bother trying another and am returning. Quite frankly I'm upset to get such bad results for the price. I haven't been this disappointed with a product in a long time.
Note, I would have easily have given this only one (1) star but I didn't try to detect objects in concrete and non-hollow walls. Since others report good results doing this I'm assuming for that function it works great.
Super concept but fails measurably to a shocking extent in executing it.
