Garrett SuperWand - 360° Handheld Metal Detector for Professional Security

Overview

The Garrett SuperWand is a handheld metal detector designed for secondary security screening in high-risk environments: airports, courthouses, public institutions and sensitive sites. Described by the manufacturer as the choice of the TSA, it meets the latest security standards and is aimed at law enforcement as well as private security professionals in Switzerland.
