Fisher TW-6 2-box Metal Detector

Fisher TW-6 2-box Metal Detector

Find underground metallic objects with ease using the Fisher TW-6 2-box metal detector. This model is ideal for locating underground pipes, cables, manhole covers, vaults, valve boxes, and other metallic objects. It is primarily used by water departments, telephone companies, power companies, gas companies, and petroleum pipeline companies for repairs and line rearrangements.

Easy Operation and Accurate Target Location

The TW-6 indicates where to dig and where not to dig. Fisher engineers have enhanced the instrument's sensitivity by replacing unnecessary metallic parts with durable ABS molded plastic. The coil windings, combined with upgraded electronics and nonmetallic parts, have increased the tracing distance of the TW-6.

This equipment is widely used by electric power companies and others to locate cables, wires, pipes, buried lines, and other utilities. The device includes a stereo jack for use with external headphones.

Classic Fisher Design

The TW-6 is affordable, tough, and simple to use while providing maximum performance. It comes with a five-year limited warranty. A Ground Rod Harness Assembly provides an efficient ground for conductive tracing. The Fisher TW-6 Pipe & Cable Locator features noise-canceling circuitry to eliminate power line interference. Fisher has perfected the technology originally introduced in earlier models, making them industry leaders in pipe and cable locating equipment.
