        Major Tech MT878 | Stud/Metal Finder with Multimeter 400A

        The Major Tech MT878 is a multi-purpose tool that combines a stud and metal detector, live wire finder, and a fully functional auto-ranging multimeter. It’s great for locating studs behind walls, detecting both ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic metals, and identifying unshielded live AC wires. Multi-colour LEDs and an audible buzzer provide instant detection feedback, making it easy to use on-site.

        As a true RMS multimeter, it measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, continuity, capacitance, frequency, duty cycle, temperature, and diodes. It includes a LoZ setting to eliminate ghost voltages for more accurate readings. For high-current applications, it supports the MT783 clamp adaptor to extend measurement up to 400A AC/DC. The 4000-count backlit LCD with a bar graph ensures clear, real-time readings, and a tilt stand makes hands-free operation convenient.
