[RE-wrenches] Wire locator

[Chris Mason]

We have a Schonstedt unit, works very well for electrical services. There
has to be current in the cable to see it. Otherwise you can find data
cables and dead electrical cables by injecting a signal using the signal
generator, either by induction or direct connection.
It can find a service very accurately and give you the depth. However, it
takes some practice as you can get fooled by stray currents and water
pipes. It's nicely made and robust.
Price is a bit more than you were expecting, if memory serves me right. You
can rent for one-offs.
