Bosch Cable Finder Truvo (Maximum Detection Depth Live Cable/Non-Magnetic Metal/Magnetic Metal: 50/60/70 mm, in Cardboard Box)
Digital detector
Truvo
How can we be certain where supporting elements, pipes or cables are routed in walls? The Truvo detector from Bosch detects ferrous and non-ferrous metals and live cables at depths of up to 7 cm.
Auto calibration
Practical auto-calibration for direct start-up and safer drilling.
Marking aids
Conveniently use the lines on the side of the tool to accurately mark results during operation.
Single-button operation
One-button principle with automatic calibration – simply use the ON/OFF button and begin scanning without further steps.

Setting the marker
Using the marking slots, the target areas can be easily and accurately marked.
The Truvo
Why does the tool indicate live cables everywhere?
The construction of commercially available cables causes fluctuations in the electric field strength at the surface, which influence signal detection, through to complete elimination.
What should I do if the tool displays different results for the same measurement?
Follow the step-by-step guide when using the tool and make sure that all measurements are performed in the same way. In particular, move the tool three times in each direction – under constant external conditions.
Why does the signal change when the tool is moved along a live cable?
The construction of commercially available cables causes fluctuations in the electric field strength at the surface, which influence signal detection, through to complete elimination.
Why do I have problems locating three-phase power cables?
In the case of live three-phase power cables (e.g. power connection for the cooker), the different phases of the cable cancel each other out so that the detector cannot detect the signal.
Why does the tool indicate metal objects on the entire wall?
The tool detects certain construction materials as metal due to the high iron content (e.g. aluminium foil on underfloor heating systems or metal-clad thermal glass wool insulation).

As advertised
This product is very good at detecting and does the job.
it does the job fine. Better than professional ones I have had in the pas
Easy to use , follow instructions as it will not work if you do not do as it says
Very accurate product, well pleased 👍
To find live electric wires and water pipes, worked perfectly
Hey presto
After reading some reviews I was concerned it might not provide accurate readings. Having renovated my shower I knew where the pipes and electrical cables were. Unfortunately the joiner covered the power source to my bathroom mirror with a wet wall. Although I knew roughly where the power cable was, I wanted to be certain and it located it first time and I was able to make a hole and pull it thorough. It was spot on in it’s beeps so did the job for me.
Handy piece of ki
Read some reviews about it being unreliable. I don’t k is about that, the indication system seems pretty clear to me! I found it really straight forward and easy to use!

Great gadge
I was wary of buying this after reading some of the reviews on here so I went to some popular tool shop sites to read tradesperson and DIYers reviews on it and it was highly rated. It works great and comes with batteries. I needed it to detect live wires in my walls before putting kitchen units up and it worked perfectly.
It actually works!!!
It actually works!! Well so far anyway! When I first took it out of the box what struck me was how cheap it looks and feels, especially the large on/off button. It looks and feels like it could break any second! Not what you’d expect of a Bosch product. I really didn’t expect it to work but it is pretty accurate. I’ve tried another brand and that was useless, and based on reviews I wasn’t holding out much hope in finding one under 80 that did work! I haven’t given this product full stars based on the cheapness of the build, but as far as doing what it’s meant to do I think it’s worth buying.
Good item
This is a very handy item too have if you need too locate hidden wiring
Ok for what I need it fo
Needed to drill a hole through the entire wall,area could have had pipe and cable. Seemed pretty consistent in where could and could not drill. Not the cheapest but nowhere near the most expensive so expect will be suitable for jobs around the home.
you need to be safe get i
i recently had my kitchen renovated paid no attention to what the electrician was doing. then my partner said we needed some more cupboards. she wanted Three the meter pointed out the new cables the electrician had installed there was only room for two cupboards . so it saved me money in cupboards and proberly a expensive new electricians bill allso allways be safe when installing cupboards, showers, And shelving.
Accurate and Reliable
Needed to detect water pipes, gas pipes and electric cables (all poorly routed). If you follow the instructions to the tee, the results are superb. I was able to draw the routes on the wall, differentiating between 15mm pipe and 22mm pipe with ease. Same success tracking pipes and cables under the floorboards.
Does exactly what it says on the tin really. The key to it is, like many have already said, making sure you take the time to read the user manual and understand what it’s telling you.
Make sure you pass over an area multiple times to allow the detector to focus on what it thinks is an object and you’ll quickly get a very good idea of what you’re working with behind the wall. I suspect those who are complaining that it finds stuff everywhere aren’t giving it a chance to work properly.
Best in mind also that you have to apply some intelligence to the work – the external walls in my house have insulation that has a metallic coating, so the detector sees this and shows yellow across the whole wall, but it still finds the pipes and cables OK – just needs to be given time and used properly.
Overall a really great piece of kit, nice and compact and has already paid for itself in my book by pointing out that I was about to drill through the central heating pipe it is quite interesting to use this to follow the pipes and cables around the wall to understand how the systems are installed for future reference too…
Easy to use
It works well but sometimes depends how you move it, the device bleeps
Work Well Unlike The Negative Feedback
Bought when the price dropped to 24 and took the risk even after reading all the negative feedbacks on the product. I am surprised this little gadget is working extremely well against all the odds! I’m very pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend. Good for simple DIY use before drilling holes.
Work well
I have bought unknown brand item from ebay which was much cheaper than this one. But it did not work. So that I had to get rid of that one and ordered this one. Good quality. Work very well. Will recommend it to others.
Very effective and straightforward without having to change sensors.
To replace outdoor lights on a balcony without direct knowledge of electric supply location.
Good... But not grea
This is a great little device which helps you locate things behind the wall when you are drilling.
It detects everything, which is a good thing and a bad thing… Good because you will not drill into anything you don’t want to… Bad thing, if you are inexperienced it will make it difficult to find the right spot!
It has its moments to detecting things which are sometimes not there so take your time and double/triple check before drilling as it might bleeb where it said it was clear for some reason!
It can make it very time consuming, therefore not suitable for big projects. It is very good for occasional use and small projects instead.
Does what it says on the ti
Does what it says on the tin. Tested the job I bought for and it worked well. Seems very accurate.
works well for me
i have not used this a lot but what i have used it for has been accurate – i used to have one of these back in the 80’s , when it stopped working i could never get another decent one for some reason – this is the first one i have been happy with .
Not perfect, but it works.
After reading some of the reviews on here, I was a bit sceptical about this product. However, I really needed a device like this, and Bosch products are normally good, so I decided to get this. First impressions were good, it seems like a well made product.
In use, I have to agree, partly, to some of the comments about false readings. However, I managed to eliminate a lot of these false readings by putting my other hand on the wall, (like you’re supposed to), and also by moving slowly and methodically over the area in question. Doing this, the readings got more stable. The device doesn’t appear to give false negative readings, so if you get the green light, you’re good to go.
It’s still not perfect though, and it can take a bit of faffing to get a stable indication. I think a lot of this is simply due to just how sensitive the device is. However, the device does work, if there’s an electrical cable or metal pipe in the wall, it will tell you.
One final thing that people should be aware of: this device does not work with rechargeable batteries. It powers up, and operates for a few short seconds, but then shuts down. The instruction manual does say not to use rechargeables, but this isn’t mentioned in the product description on Amazon. It does come with a set of AAA alkalines, but I haven’t used the device enough to know how long they last.
Awesome
Really easy to use and I’ve not hit a live cable yet. There’s a good review on YouTube.
Read the whole of the user leaflet !
Luckily we had seen a video , before we purchased this item, and noticed that your free hand has to be against the wall , whilst holding the device in other hand . Incorrect readings will show if the free hand is removed from the wall. This advice is buried deep in the small print of the user leaflet.
Used properly the Bosch detector is a very useful tool.
Used correctly it is very accurate.
It’s important to read the instructions to make sure you use it correctly, as you have to refine the search. Used correctly It’s accurate, which is why I think it’s worth 5 stars. Little bit expensive, but mine was cheaper from amazon warehouse, so I reckon it’s
5 stars for value too.
Just what you need ...
Simple, relatively inexpensive and perfect for someone like me who just needs some surety for those odd DIY jobs involving drilling, hole-making, hanging and avoiding blowing the electrics and puncturing water pipes. Recommended
Does what is says
Not sure why there are poor comments re this item as it works perfectly for me. Before I tested it on the wall for drilling, I tested it where I knew there were pipes and electric cables, and it worked great. Would highly recommend it.
I’m rubbish at DIY and I’ve just bought a house so I decided to get one of these to make sure I didn’t drill a hole into a pipe or wire. The product itself is well made and extremely simple to operate. I used it a few times when hanging pictures and it all seemed to work as advertised, My issue came the other day when I wanted to install a TV bracket which required drilling 8cm deep into brickwork. No matter where I held the scanner up on the wall it detected metal. I tried removing my watch and wedding ring, changing how I held the device. Nothing seemed to work. I recalibrated it manually and still got the same results.
In the end I just drilled the holes despite of the scanner. Luckily for me I didn’t have any issues.
So, the machine is good but not bullet proof. It can have false readings or be overly sensitive. Just use common sense.
Works well
Bought this to replace a Zircon scanner that didn’t give me confidence in detecting wiring and metalwork. The Bosch is easier to use and seems more consistent, although a more basic display.
The Zircon does have a stud-locating feature that seems to work ok and which the Bosch is lacking. However reliable detection of hidden wiring is much more important.
You get what you pay fo
At the end of last year I purchased an alternate one of these detectors from Amazon at half the price because I couldn’t justify this much on something that I’d use infrequently. After using that device for over an hour trying to detect a drywall frame from it’s studs it was promptly re-packaged and returned to Amazon for a refund.
I was put off trying an alternate product, think they must all be hit & miss until I purchased this one from Bosch. After a couple of tests I can tell you there’s a world of difference between the cheap ones and this one. This one seems to be more consistent in detecting things in walls than the other one.
Yes, it may be more expensive but you certainly get what you pay for in this case. Recommended.
Saves damages
Sometimes beeps all over the wall. Its definately helped me but unfortunately not with my 100 per cent trust.

Safety First with DIY
This device has had some negative feedback, and whilst some of the criticism is valid, particularly if you are a professional needing a very accurate method of detecting cables and pipes to an accuracy if a few milimetres. However, most of us DIY people are happy with something that alerts us to a cable or a pipe in a wall, within a centimetre or two. This device, if moved side to side from the position a cable was detected, actually allows you to ‘fine-tune’ the position of that cable to a higher degree of accuracy . . . just takes a bit more time than the professional kit (costing several times as much! ). One slight downside was that my kit came with ‘dead’ batteries. Not a problem though as I always keep some in stock.
It works!!
This is such a simple little product and works straight from the box.
Tested on a few locations I knew where wires were already and picked them up instantly.
Used it in a few areas of the house now and picks up all the wires without issue.
Well recommended!
After reading some bad reviews on this fairly pricey detector I reluctantly decided to give it a go and I was shocked how easy to use and accurate this product was, would 100% recommend!

Great product.
This worked almost straight out of the box. After testing it in places where we knew there were hidden cables and metallic elements we assured ourselves that this was accurate – it picked up 100% of the test runs.
It showed its value by finding a wire right where we wanted to drill, so we moved over a few cm to the right where the light went green. Perfect.
Very easy to use, very reliable, very accurate, and great value for money. Don’t look anywhere else.
Essential for the DIY toolbox
Bought to detect cables in internal breeze block wall before drilling. Exellent piece of kit. Easy to use, clear and precise signals. Inexpensive.
Not designed to detect wooden cavity wall batons.
Reasonably good at detecting cables
I bought this detector to trace cables on a lighting circuit that had been installed somewhat randomly by a previous owner of the house. The instructions are clear and it’s easy to use. I found that I could work out the rough track of the cables rather than their precise line … good enough for what I wanted, but if I had to drill near cables concealed in a wall I’d leave a bit of a safety margin.
Great produc
Great product and an absolute essential for me when drilling.
Accurate and saves time-wasting.
Bought for detecting cable conduits, I used it today to correctly locate studs in a wall I’d previously, and wrongly, assumed to be plastered brick. Paid for itself in the first job.

Easy to use
Just bought a new house so I have no idea what is behind the walls and I am new to DIY so this gave me added piece of mind that I am not going to be drilling through a cable or pipe! So far so good . Easy to use for a non professional
Bosch Detector Truvo
Did All I needed it to do, As long as you don’t fly over the area too fast it’s accurate enough, Tested this with some pipes under the floor boards which I could already lift up.
Did all I needed, the live wire isn’t as accurate as Id have liked but again as long as you don’t fly over the area too ffas
Great for the safe drilling or picture hanging around your home or workplace.
Essential tool for the safe drilling of holes or for picture hanging. The detector is accurate and fairly easy to use giving different tones and flashing different colours for different objects such as live electrics or water or gas pipes.
Useful price of ki
Easy to use and seems to.peovkxe reasonably accurate results unlike other I have tried. I wouldn’t 100% rely on it but gives a good indication of where is safe to drill.
Saviou
This must be used as a guide only as it gives a reasonable reading but sufficient for you not to get into difficulty when deciding where to drill. I chased out where it detected the wires and its reading gave an extra 15mm or so either side of the wires which is a good thing I suppose.
Confident cable finde
Follow the instructions and you can’t go wrong. With some common sense and an appreciation for building construction and likely cable routings, this device is accurate and effective. Happy that I bought a recognised Bosch one, no need for a display as the light system on here is ideal and easy to interpret.
Super handy to have
Great product, it’s quite pricy for only needing to use a handful of times but super useful tools to have
Clear alerts for metal and cables, even in masonry walls.
Ready to respond very quickly after switching on. Gives good, clear signals when over metal or electric cables in the wall, even in breezeblock walls. I like that it works on 3 x AAA batteries, so I can use rechargeables, instead of the button batteries that many other brands of detector use.
Quality
Great bit of kit just what every DIY person should have
Works well
The product seems to work quite well but it takes time to get to know its features, i.e. distinguishing between metal in the wall and cables. Its important to read the instructions carefully
Does it’s job
Haven’t drilled through any cables yet, so must be alrigh
Great produc
Very happy with this. Was much cheaper than models by stanley I was looking at but it works great although can be confusing at times. One moment it will start beeping on a secion of wall, then the next it won’t. This maybe down to how I’m using it and might not actually be a problem with the device. All in all, I highly recommend it.
A small price to pay now to save you a fortune later!
This has been game changing, I’d highly recommend getting one if like me you’re a complete newbie when it comes to drilling holes into walls. A small cost now to save you a potential fortune later.
A little tip, plasterboard isn’t always earthed so I’m told. If you’re running it across the wall and it’s beeping constantly saying there’s live wires all over the place – put one hand onto the wall to earth it and then run it over. It worked for me!
Brillia
This is absolutely perfect for my use at home does what it says and is easy to use would definitely recommend this produc
So easy to use and amazing.
Came quickly. Has batteries to start you off. Switch it on, with a single click and scan the relevant wall for pipes and live electric cables. It’s the back of the product that goes against the wall, all you do is move it across the section you are concerned about until the LED begins to flash. No flashing then you should be safe. The LED flashes different colours to tell to what is behind the plasterboard. It’s a must for anyone who is thinking about drilling holes in walls. Spending a few ‘s on this product could save you heaps of embarrassment and time and money. And, it so very very easy to use. I’ve used it both to test where I know wires are and where they are not, recently putting in a number of 2 gang sockets. It located all the live wires accurately. I had complete confidence in it. However, you should never have complete confidence with anything, always double check and advance with caution.
Batteries
Product great and now works once we used new batteries which luckily we had. Batteries supplied were dud – can you please send replacement batteries.
TL;DR Get this scanner if you need to detect stuff behind walls, and don’t wish to pay 75 for one of the higher end ones. Also, be wary of the naysayers in the reviews.
Now, the problem I have with reviews on Amazon is that despite if a product having 4 and a half stars, it will still show a variety of fluctuating appraisals. For example, if I wanted a toaster, I’d get at least two contrasting reviews: one saying “This toaster is amazing! It does toast, cleans the sink for me, takes the kids to school, and is amazing in bed!” and the other “This is the worst toaster I’ve ever had. It burnt my toast, cheated on me with my partner, and caused a second Cold War.” The Bosch Truvo is unfortunately a victim of these kinds of assessments.
That being said, I decided to brave the purchase and put the reviews aside. The first impressions were good, in that they actually include the three AAA batteries required to power the scanner; very courteous. I slotted them in, flipped the massive “On” switch on the front, the green light on the front came on instantaneously, and I was in business.
The instructions detail that the light remains solid green when it doesn’t detect anything, changes yellow when there’s something close, red with a continuous shrill tone indicating metal that increases in tone as you get closer to said metal, and flashing red with rapid beeping for detecting wires. I decided to test it on both masonry & plasterboard (both are in my house) wall, and sure enough, it detected metal & wires. Now, it didn’t just do it sporadically anywhere on the wall, it did it consistently on every spot where it alerted me to something behind and stopped as soon as I took it away. To make sure it wasn’t just blind luck, I also tried scanning anything that was metal or wiring outside a wall, and again, it gave definitive results with the appropriate color & sound codes.
I really don’t understand how people who have used this product have had such varying results; I can only possibly put it down to different properties, walls, and even user behavior; who knows if anyone looked in the troubleshooting section of the manual or handled the devices like gorillas?
In conclusion, I would consider this device a successful purchase and I definitely got my money’s worth out of it. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to put up shelves or a TV, and I recommend to take online reviews with a pinch of salt; even this one you’ve just read. I got what I needed out of it, you possibly can too.
Great little tool
I used this when building alcove shelves into two alcoves in my home, and it accurately pinpointed areas of pipes and wires and allowed me to drill without fear of electrocution. So easy to set up and use.
It did the job after a fashion.
It would have been ideal for checking pipes and power in a new house where the walls are flat and you could get a clear reading but in a 16th century grade 2 listed property it was not so easy.
Great Detector & easy & quick to use !
I bought the Detector because I just moved into a new Flat & needed to know where I can drill the walls for shelves etc. Had a quick read of the Instructions & withing 10 minutes was detecting mains, Pipes & other metal behind the walls. Now I know exactly where to drill & where to steer clear of ! Very handy Device !
A Trustworthy Tool.
This did exactly what I wanted it do when I was putting up bathroom cabinets. It could have gone horribly wrong with water pipes if I’d drilled where I’d wanted to. This is more expensive that the cheaper generic brands that you can buy on here, but I’m glad I paid a bit extra for this from a trusted toolmaker. Recommended.
handy to use
To check for wiring in new house before drilling etc and seemed to do the job intended
Seems Accurate
I can’t tell because I haven’t dug into the wall guided by the detector, but from what I could tell, it seems very accurate. All indications were repeatable and follow clearly defined paths. No false readings as far as I could tell. Easy to use. A proper Bosch product.
The best domestic cable and metal detector I have used
This is by far the best domestic cable and metal detector I have used but it is important to follow the instructions carefully and to experiment over areas where there are known cables and embedded metal to get a feel for how it works. Placing a hand on the wall, or equivalent, is important as described in the instructions.
No cable detector can substitute for common sense and an awareness of normal building procedures.
Works beautifully
This seems to have a lot of negative reviews but works beautifully for me.
Does the job
Nice simple tool. I initially bought one from a smaller brand which triggered AC warnings randomly. This one is a lot better. While it does occasionally alert false positives it’s reliable enough that you can work out where is safe to drill. Not hit any pipes or cables yet (fingers crossed!)
Amazing
Very easy to use (simply a detector that switches to green, amber, red color and flashing light, plus a noise that becomes louder the closer you are to anything metallic/cable/tube). It detected all cables (connected with electricity or not), anything made of metal, (tubes or even a hidden screw), everywhere I tested it . The fact that the device uses AAA batteries instead of 9V batteries is a very big plus, because you can use rechargeable batteries. It comes with alkaline batteries. Very handy, well designed and stylish. Perfect.
Great.
Very good. Much better than the Black and Decker version I used previously.
Does the job ok
I had no dislike at all it is a good produc
Don't believe the bad reviews
Don’t believe the bad reviews on here. Amazing little device
Bosch detecto
Easy to use but not very accurate and a bit pricey.
Calibrate it!
The simplest scanner I have ever used – and it does work well. Red and solid audible signal – no go, metal detected. Red and pulsing audible signal – no go, mains supply detected. Green OK and amber close to detection area. One thing, take the time to calibrate it as per the instructions, it makes a big difference in accuracy terms. Great product overall, it just does the job.
Easy to use - accurate
Great! Bought this for my dad as he has been fitting a kitchen and doing bits of DIY. This had come in very handy on many occasions now and it is accurate too.
DIY Wire/pipe detecto
Good quality. Was a little confused when using as appeared to get a few false positives but realised I needed to do more slowly. Managed to get DIY job finished without blowing up the house. 10/10.
Must have item for the him DIYe
Great product for the price, not hit a pipe, stud or wire since I bought i
Great product - easy to use
Used this to checkfor any hidden metal or live wires before drilling a hole in a cavity wall. Seemed pretty accurate and easy to use. Came with batteries too which was a bonus.
Brilliant tool
I’ve had this a good few months now and it does exactly what it says on the tin really good price as well nice bit of kit for the tool box.

Easy and accurate
Really easy to use, glide it over the area for a few moments before you rest it where you want it to get an accurate reading
Accurate and Simple to use.
Easy to use, lightweight and accurate. My older detector wasn’t working well. Bought this as a replacement (ahead of drilling for a new 5 metre long curtain pole) based on reviews and it’s very good. Accurately detected the electric cable and steel lintel position.
Recommended
Couldn’t be without it now came in so useful had it for 2 years and still going strong
Expensive but accurate and reliable
A bit more expensive than some other detectors but I’ve tested it in a wide variety of walls and fittings and it seems much more accurate and reliable than my old-style detector. I’d trust this one now whereas I was always a bit uncertain before.
Easy to use and accurate
Brilliant. Easy to use, gives you an indictation of how near a wire is as well, not just if you’re on one or not.
Helpful but use with care
Relatively expensive but reassuring in confirming the location of electric cables, lintels etc. It seems to detect things not directly under it and nearby so it needs to be used with other knowledge of what might be in the wall/ common sense.
Fantastic gadget!
This is such a handy gadget, perfect for checking for any electrical wiring, would definitely recommend for any DIY jobs!
Safety
Made finding location of wiring tracked in walls easy and safe as had to drill holes for hanging wall cabinets very close to the tracked wiring
Good
very easy to use. More accurate than others I have used.
Very useful
When we moved I wanted to ensure I was not drilling into any pipes or wires when I started hanging things. I found this to be invaluable. I can’t know for sure just how accurate it is, but from testing on wires and pipes that I can see, it seems to be accurate. It’s certainly helped me avoid drillng some walls that I thought were free from pipes.
All in all, a great purchase and I find myself using it more and more.
Great product. Very quick delivery.
Great product. Would recommend this when drilling holes in walls.
ok for home use
I have been using this for many times when I needed to drill a hole on the wall. I feel a little bit disappointed because it always show red and not very precise. I hope there will be an upgrade late
Useful device
Used to confirm the location of cables in walls before putting up pictures. Works well and easy to use.
Not sure of its accuracy.
Not totally convinced by its accuracy as it “changes its mind” on repeat testing of same area.
Very easy to use
Very easy to use does what it says on the box
A definite asset when drilling blind.
Not entirely foolproof, but well worth having…particularly good for locating position of electric cables.
Good enough
It tends to be a tool on speed and doesn’t always get it right but it makes you check you’re on track!
Excellent Detector!
Excellent product. I used it in one of the bedrooms, it detected all electrical wires accurately. I also used in the bathroom fit a towel hanger. It detected the water pipes 2 cm away from the mark I made on the wall. Very reliable and won’t let you down. Super easy to use. I definitely recommend it!
Works well straight out of the box.
Great little gadget and works straight out of the box as batteries are included. Has served us perfectly so far…we moved into a new house with plastic heating pipework which has foil backing… Truvo has picked this up without a problem. Worth ‘playing’ with Truvo when you get it to get used to its indicators and also once a pipe/electrical cable or wall stud is picked up move more slowly over the area to ‘pinpoint’. Very happy with this useful gadge
Excellent produc
An excellent piece of kit. Easy to use. I would highly recommend.
Recommended
Brought this so we could put the TV on the wall and have a sound mind that we was drilling in the right places. Worked perfectly! Very pleased.
