A magnetic inspection device for detecting structural faults in elongated magnetically permeable objects has two opposite magnetic poles, at least one pole being an end pole, that induce a first magnetic flux axially in a first section of an object between the poles, and an oppositely directed magnetic flux in another section adjacent the end pole. As the device and object move relative to one another, eddy currents induced in the object by the changing longitudinal fluxes at the end pole are detected to locate structural faults in the object.
