rebar locator rental
does anyone know a nation wide chain that rents rebar locators? also does anyone have a recommendation for the unit to rent for locating rebar in a 10" thick concrete wall?
call the local united rentals. first i'd look into a metal detector. maybe one of your employee's has one.
jimrcasper-
james instruments inc rents several types of nondestructive rebar locators that may be applicable to your need. they rent them by the week. they are on the web i believe. regards.
jimrcasper - here is a link to an evaluation of various locators:
i tried my local united rentals (florida) and got a negative answer when looking for a bar locator about 3 years ago.
so i called up the local hilti sales rep and borrowed one from them. i only needed it for a couple of hours, so we called it a sales demo.
you say 10" thick, but are you looking for bars 10" deep or bars near the surface of a 10" thick wall? if you are not requiring depth beyonjd 3-4", you can order several different models by zircon from grainger.com for anywhere from $75 - $150 dollars, depending on features. really useful, they also detect plumbing, wiring etc.. in the wall.
