Pro Scan Handheld Metal Detector Wand, Security Screening Scanner, Detects Handguns at 5 Inches, Knives at 4 Inches, Audible and Vibration Alert Modes, Adjustable Sensitivity, Belt Holster Included

You’re standing at the entrance, bag check line building behind you, and someone just walked in wearing a jacket too heavy for the weather. This is the moment a metal detector wand earns its keep — not in a training manual, but in real time, at a real door.

Who This Is Best For
Church security teams, school administrators, event venues, bar and club doormen, small business owners handling their own entry screening, and private security contractors who need a reliable second layer of detection without hauling around a walk-through unit. If you’re responsible for who and what comes through a door, this wand does the job without a training certificate or a five-figure budget.

Is This Right For You?
If you need portable, dependable detection for handguns, knives, and other metal weapons — and you want the option to alert loudly or discreetly depending on the situation — this is built for exactly that. It’s not a replacement for a walk-through detector at a stadium, but for doors, hallways, and checkpoints where speed and simplicity matter more than industrial-scale throughput, this is the right tool.

Key Features & Benefits

• Detects handguns at 5 inches, knives at 4 inches — enough range to catch a concealed weapon before someone’s within arm’s reach.
• Audible and silent vibration alert modes — sound the alarm in a busy lobby, or switch to vibration when you need to keep a screening discreet.
• Adjustable sensitivity — dial it up for high-security checkpoints or down to avoid false alerts on belt buckles and zippers.
• Lightweight, one-hand design — built for hours of continuous use at a door or checkpoint without fatigue.
• Belt holster included — keeps it accessible and ready between scans, not buried in a bag.
• Lifetime warranty — this is a tool you’re expected to use daily, and it’s backed like one.

How It Compares

Practical Details

This wand is legal to own and use for security screening in all 50 states, though if you’re using it professionally at an event or business, check local requirements around consent and screening procedures. It runs on standard batteries (included) and needs no calibration — just power on and adjust sensitivity to your setting. In the box: the wand, belt holster, and batteries, ready to use out of the package.

Screening doesn’t have to mean guesswork. Add the Pro Scan to your cart and give your entry point the kind of consistent, reliable check it’s been missing — or browse our full lineup of personal defense devices to round out your setup.

FAQ

Does this detect small weapons like box cutters?
Yes. While the rated detection range is optimized for handguns at 5 inches and knives at 4 inches, smaller metal objects like box cutters and blades will trigger an alert at closer range. Adjustable sensitivity lets you fine-tune detection for your specific screening needs.

Can I use the silent alert mode discreetly?
Yes. The vibration mode lets you screen without announcing every alert out loud, which is useful in settings where you want to avoid drawing attention or alarming a crowd while still confirming a hit.

How long does the battery last?
With normal daily use — a few hours of scanning per shift — the battery holds up for weeks between changes. Since it runs on standard batteries, you’re never stuck waiting on a charger or proprietary cable.

Is training required to use this effectively?
No formal training is required. It’s designed for one-handed operation with a simple sweep motion. Most people are comfortable and consistent within their first few scans.
