Drilling into the wall is an intimidating task if you’re doing it next to any outlets or switches. If you’re not careful, you might end up getting the shock of your life – literally.

Use a mic to reveal hidden wires

There is a solution, and it’s a little convoluted, but bear with us. If you connect a microphone to a tape recorder, you can easily find any wires hidden in the wall. If the tape recorder hums when the mic is near a specific spot, you know there’s a wire there, and can just drill somewhere else.
