The Filler Detective ™ (Patent Pending) will find hidden body damage and body filler on a car, truck or motorcycle. We have tested the Filler Detective on all kinds of body fillers including popular ones such as Bondo ®. The Filler Detective will tell you where it is, AND how deep it is. THIS METER DOESN’T MISS.
This is a one-button tool that lights up and sounds off when it detects exactly where the body filler is that was used to repair any damage.
You can spot check the body of the vehicle, or safely slide it on the micro-fiber nose over a whole panel.
The sound is detectable even in noisy environments such as auctions, car shows, or large crowds.
The lights are visible in bright sunshine and exceptionally brilliant in any lesser lit areas.
