The magnetic locator device GA-52CX has been built for decades with slight adjustments. This device was the key to success for SCHONSTEDT Instruments. With more than 50,000 item sold, the GA-52CX is probably the most popular magnetic locator in the world.
In view of ist high sensitivity and the fast response properties the GA-52CX still is a reference product among the large range of magnetic locators; due to the fact that it lacks a display and a modern ergonomic design it may not be as comfortable as the state-of-the-art versions GA-72CD and GA-92XTD.
