Cable Locator


I'm planning to buy a new locator for underground utilities, presently own a Rycom (700.00), looking to upgrade without breaking the bank, any suggestions?

Re: Cable Locator


Ridgid Tool makes a very nice locator, Their SR-20 works wonderfully, I have been very impressed with what it can do. It ain't the cheapest thing out there but it will do what others can not.

Check it out.

Re: Cable Locator


thanks for the lead, I'm assuming you own this unit, how easy is it to learn how to operate? dealer support?
Thanks Jon
