The Filler Detective™ will find hidden body damage and body filler on a car, truck or motorcycle. It will tell you where it is, AND how deep it is. THIS METER DOESN’T MISS.

This is a one-button tool that lights up and sounds off when it detects exactly where the body filler is that was used to repair any damage. You can spot check the body of the vehicle, or safely slide it on the micro-fiber nose over a whole panel. The sound is detectable even in noisy environments such as auctions, car shows, or large crowds. The lights are visible in bright sunshine and exceptionally brilliant in any lesser lit areas.

I used the tool on my 62 studebaker GT Hawk. It found the problem areas. I think it would be a must for the guy or gal looking to purchase a used car especially a classic. Good sheet metal should have less than a 1/32th of an inch of filler. It's much easy to fill it end than straighten. If you are going to pay big money for something that looks good now but will be a mess in a few years, spend the money on this tool. You can also use it drive the price way down if you are willing to rework the sheet metal. I've seen screen wire, concrete, paper and gust plain rust out metal just smoothed over and painted. So spend the small bucks to save the huge bucks later.

This is a great way to see below paint to find out how much filler is on a car you thinking about buying. Well worth the money since paint can cover up all of a car's history

I have been doing bondo on a project. This was able to show me where the bondo was getting thick. Great for when you go to purchase a car. See where the bodywork has been performed.
