Those do work, but not great and they tend to have alot of problems. I bought one a few months ago and had to take it apart once already to readjust the internal sensitivity. Maybe ok as a back up but I would highly recomend the Garrett Pro Pointer. Yes it is over a hundred bucks but worth it.

Bought 3 -- gave up
I bought 3 of the Harbor Freight Pinpointers. Had so many frustrating problems, I bought a Garrett Pro-pointer and am very happy with the pro-pointer. I use my Harbor Freight pinpointers for what they were intended for -- finding nails in boards, before I send them through the planer..

i have one and use it hard, i've also done a few things to mine to make it last(changed out the power button with a more sealed one) for under 20 bucks ya can't go wrong. i also replaced that loud speaker with a vibrating motor, now i don't get as many strange looks at the park

100 times better than nothing, but the propointer is 1000 times better than that.
Get the HF one to start...but aim for the Propointer asap.

I bought one and they are a lot more money up here. It was a waste of money. I bought the propointer shortly after. That one is great.
