TAKE IT HOME AND START YOUR PROJECTS SAFELY!
Our stud finder is equipped with the UPGRADED INTERNAL SENSORS. It senses a change in density in the space behind the wall and locates the stud center with GREAT ACCURACY. It has the big improvement of the inter sensors, and the performance of this stud detector is excellent, finding the studs
quickly, accurately, and repeatedly.
This tool must be calibrated prior to use every time. Choose a portion of the wall where no stud or wiring should exist. You may need to knock on the wall from left to right to discern a hollow sound where gaps likely exist between studs. Place the tool flat against the wall at this gap location, press the button on the left side of the tool and hold the device steady until you hear a short tone (beep) indicating calibration is complete. This takes only a few seconds and during calibration you’ll see the displayed bars reduce followed by a brief tone. (If scans fail to locate studs, try another calibration at a different area of the wall where a stud should not be present.)

Wasn’t new…
Based on how the unit looked out of the box, I suspect that it was a return. The photos don’t show nearly as well as in person, but you can still see that the screen not only had no protective film, but also has what appears to be finger smudges. And the ‘pads’ that float against the wall are dirty, with particles of who knows what embedded within them. Disappointing since I purchased new and not used.It comes with a battery installed, which is nice, and it turned on with no problem. I’ve yet to read the long set of instructions to see what all of the functions are and how they work, but I did try out a simple stud search and it appears to have nice accuracy, with a side note* (more on that next).Another negative is the way the unit feels while swiping it across the wall. The pads are made of what I can only describe as one half of hook and loop (Velcro). It’s not very smooth at all, and the feel of it when swiping it is ‘off’. *It’s a little scratchy against the wall and I believe you do lose some accuracy as a result because instead of a nice smooth run, it ‘jumps’ a bit from being ‘scratchy’. It’s like using an optical mouse when you need to pinpoint something really small on your screen and should have a laser mouse. Hope that makes sense.If I find any issues or find that it has some great features, I will update my review at a later date.

Replaced item due to faulty screw works great
My initial review was only one star. This was because of a faulty screw in the battery compartment. I returned it, and the seller refunded my money. The seller also reached out to me and replaced the item. I have already used it and it works perfectly. I am glad I made the purchase. It is so easy to use and requires no skill or brainpower at all. I owned another companyâs Stud-finder and it was very difficult to use and not accurate. This is a quality product and definitely worth the money. I am happy to change my review to five stars.

Works well, but cheaply made
Paired this with some rechargeable EB 9V batteries from Amazon and its good to go in my tool bag. It’s plastic and kind of cheap, so expect it for a few jobs but after that youre going to have to aftermarket it a little bit.The felt pads got ratty after a few jobs dragging it along textured paint jobs, I quickly replaced them with adhesive rubber strips to keep it alive a little longer. AC detector is ok, it accurately detected wiring where I knew there was power coming from the attic down the side of a stud and into an outlet. But it tends to be spotty and unreliable if there is equipment nearby, for example a wall mounted TV, thernostat or a smart hub. You can again solve this by slapping on some rubber strips to insolate the sides of the device for a little bump in accuracy.Because I had to aftermarket this to fix the issues it gets a solid 3 stars from me.

Very accurate and easy to use.
I am not a DIY type of person, but I decided to try to put up new curtain rods myself. I bought this stud finder to help and it was a great decision. It is lightweight, easy to use and very accurate. A good choice. ðð»

Screwdriver doesn’t work, what kind of screwdriver am I supposed to get
I wish I could leave a good review for this but I can’t even use the product. I’ve tried countless times to unscrew the back of this stud finder and the screwdriver doesn’t seem to work and the nail doesn’t move nor does the screw driver unscrew – the screwdriver literally bounces away from the nail when I try to unscrew it. I want to know what size screwdriver I need to buy to open this thing but the screwdriver size is not listed on the product page. If I can’t find the right size screwdriver, I’ll need a refund. Very frustrating. I have to move into my new house by Sunday and I could really use this NOW if I could actually put the battery in.

Détection des studs dans les murs. J’aurais préféré la procédure d’utilisation en Français

Tres bon outils… facil a outiliser lors des pose de montants.
Amazon Customer –
Le détecteur en mode AC et même avec les autres modes ne fonctionne presque jamais sachant que je lâai testé sur des murs de gyps 1/2 pouce. Je sais très bien quâil y a des câbles électriques (pour interrupteurs et thermostats) là où jâai fait les test.Par contre, si je passe le détecteur au dessus dâune prise murale ou à côté dâun câble externe, il fonctionne tres bienJe pense le retourner.
