  • Incase this helps you or anyone else that comes across this issue with wire detectors.

    If your wire detector is alarming everywhere/too much place your hand on the wall within a foot of the detector. The sliding of the detector on the wall can create static and cause false alarms. I use a Bosch one and have to do this to use it.

  • Bosch one

    Yeah, sorry I should have added my fix:

    • Watch and ring off
    • rubber soled shoes
    • no other contact
    • palm flat on the wall a few inches away from detector
    • double check by identifying known live wire routes, and maybe a metal pen

    It's hardly effortless. But I'm still here.
