I have recently bought a Black and decker cordless drill/screwdriver set from B&Q which included the above as well as a laser level/tape measure for about 40 squids and it works well.
It's called the Black and Decker drill kit 39.98 good value and works very well
get a real one of those kind that people use to find coins and stuff on the beach -yeah yeah..
The best one?? It may be too good at over £500.00 but it's the Bosch Dtect100. http://ukptocs.bosch-pt.com/boptocs-uk/p...
The next best is about £65.00 also Bosch DMF10 http://ukptocs.bosch-pt.com/boptocs-uk/p...
i personally would not waste money on expensive tools unless i had enough to waste or enough work to justify the cost. i would prefer a seperate tool for each and buy cheap. what ever you get, do not trust it out of the box. test it on known points, to ensure you are getting an accurate reading, some detections rely on continuous contact and can miss-read over voids. iv'e had cheap ones that work ok, but after some time packup. a shop may give you a demo if your lucky.
Most of them work well enough on drywall. But don't waste your money If your walls are plaster.
