Time to make a move to the new Schonstedt XT, the greatest innovation in magnetic locating since the celebrated "yellow stick". In its holster, the XT leaves both hands free on the way to the job site, then gives you the freedom to do your best work with one hand tied behind your back.
You've never seen a Magnetic Locator like the XT, and once you use it, you'll never use another. When we asked our most demanding customers what they look for in a Magnetic Locator, they told us:
Fifteen months of research, design, and testing has produced the new Schonstedt XT, the most portable Magnetic Locator ever made.
One hand operation makes finding faster, providing both audio and visual (XTd model) indication of ferrous objects up to 16 feet underground. And the new XT follows the Schonstedt tradition of ruggedness and reliability. So go ahead, make your move to the new Schonstedt GA-92XT.
Detect the magnetic fields of all ferromagnetic objects property markers, manholes, septic tanks, well casings, valve boxes, cast iron pipes, steel drums, unexploded ordnance up to sixteen feet below the surface.
When you have your hands full on the job site, carry the XT on your hip. You're a highly trained, experienced professional but carrying heavy tools is still part of the job. When a new product comes on the market that allows you to lessen your load and increase productivity, it deserves some attention.

After locating the water line to the main I started sweeping with the XT and found the box three feet below grade. Others have been over that same area before and never got a hot signal. The Schonstedt found it right away. I'm a believer for life. Thanks for making a great product.
