Westward 6JG68 Metal Detector

The Westward 6JG68 is a metal detector designed for electrical testing tasks. It detects voltage presence in alternating current from 70 to 600 VAC and direct current from 6 to 36 VDC. The 6-inch length and audible alert make it suitable for electricians and technicians checking live circuits quickly.

Upgrade from non-audible testers

This detector replaces basic probes that rely only on visual indicators. The audible signal allows faster confirmation without looking at a display. The jump is worth it when working in tight panels or low-light areas where watching a tip is difficult.

Fits in tool bags and panels

The compact 6-inch body fits standard tool pouches and reaches into crowded junction boxes. It requires no batteries for the detection function, freeing up bench space and eliminating power management. The ABS plastic housing withstands daily job-site handling.
