Rebar Locator
Rebar Plus

Locate rebars quickly and accurately. Drilling through rebars can be dangerous and expensive, but trying to avoid them can be time-consuming. Anybody working with reinforced concrete needs to know quickly and exactly where the rebars are to avoid cutting through load bearing rebars, leaving unsightly unnecessary holes, damaging the drill or weakening the reinforced structure.

Rebar Plus uses our unique technology to locate rebars or welded mesh fabric precisely and reliably, and since it is not affected by moisture, temperature changes or electrical interference, the Rebar Plus is extremely stable even under the most arduous site conditions.

FEATURES
Fast to use
The loud audible signal and a clear analogue meter enables you to scan quickly and accurately.
Easy to use
Only one control knob and two switches.
Rugged yet lightweight
Work all day without tiring.
Versatile
Although it was not designed as a cover meter, the Rebar Plus can also estimate the depth of cover. It can also be used with the Protovale Borehole Probe (see below) for location of tendon ducts or during the installation of discrete anodes.

CUT COSTS — NOT REBARS

Map out rebars; find "safe spots" before drilling
The narrow controlled search field of the Rebar Plus easily identifies vertical and horizontal bars allowing a safe spot to be marked prior to drilling even when used near metal window frames or scaffolding.
