Gardco introduces the new TQC Low Volt Pinhole Detector

Gardco introduces the new TQC Low Volt Pinhole DetectorThe TQC Low Voltage Pinhole Detector enables you to inspect various coatings on conductive substrates for small defects such as holidays and pinholes using the ‘wet sponge technique.’

Features of the new detector include color display with battery indicator and menu-based interface. Visual, audible, headphones and/or display and vibration feedback along with return cable connectivity detection make it easy to use. It is available in two models, the Basic (Model LD8100) and Advanced (Model LD8105). Both include automated self-diagnostics, intuitive single button controls and smart power saving feature (screen dimming, standby, auto power-off)
