Garrett Super Scanner V Hand-Held Detector

The Garrett Super Scanner V is the world's most recognised hand-held metal detector, used by security professionals in over 100 countries for secondary screening at checkpoints, events, and building entrances. In Kenya, it is the standard issue hand-held detector for security guards at malls, hotels, offices, churches, and public events.

This fifth-generation model features Garrett's enhanced 360-degree detection field that scans evenly across the full length of the wand. The large 200mm scan surface detects both ferrous and non-ferrous metals including weapons, blades, and small metallic objects. Sensitivity is adjustable to ignore items like buttons and zippers while detecting genuine threats.

The detector provides three-mode alert feedback: an audible tone, a bright red LED, and a tactile vibration. The vibration mode is particularly useful in noisy environments like nightclubs, concerts, and busy building lobbies where audible alerts might be missed. A green LED indicates the unit is powered on and scanning.

Powered by a single standard 9V battery, the Super Scanner V provides up to 80 hours of continuous use — outstanding battery life for an active security checkpoint. A low-battery indicator gives advance warning so batteries can be replaced before a shift. The self-calibrating design means no manual adjustment is needed after battery changes.
