Stud Finder Wall Scanner Detector - 5 in 1 Electronic Wall Wood Metal Stud Locator Edge Center Sensor Beam for Live AC Wire Pipe Metal Lumber Joist Drywall Framing Detection

Has done a good job of detecting studs and wires for me so far.

It's similar to other stud finders - it finds studs (as well as wires or pipes). It's easy to use and pretty quick. This won't work on thick concrete walls as other reviewers have said, but on drywall it works perfectly. To use, just turn it on, choose the appropriate setting, then press it it to the wall and hold the button to calibrate, then slowly move it along the wall until it beeps. Repeat the steps on the other side to confirm and mark the stud/wire/pipe and you're good to go.

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.

This is a much better stud finder than other ones out there. I’ve gone through a few stud finders over the years & this one works the best & is the most accurate. It also has multiple features that regular stud finders don’t include. It detects not only the studs but also indicates the edges of the stud. It also will detect different size studs.The best part is that it comes with everything you need, including a screwdriver to open the battery compartment. It also came with 9 volt battery.

Kind of work but you gotta do many passes. To me not that consistent, functionality is lacking. I’ve got an older one that works much better and it’s really old and banged up but still much better than this brand new.

Easy to use. I don't build anything but was able to find the studs and hang my son’s tv. It’s been three months and it hasn't fell yet. Lol

Very disappointed.The live wire sensor is giving erratic readings and seems to give false positives depending on how I hold the device. Sometimes, if I hold it by the rubber grips on the side the live wire warning stays lit. If I hold in near the top the live wire warning turns off. It also lights up when sliding across the wall and when I stop it turns off. Static electricity, maybe? Hard to say for sure but after an hour or more of testing it in various circumstances I can't determine why it's malfunctioning.The stud finder is also quite flaky. Sometimes it finds the stud's center, sometimes it won't find the stud at all. I've calibrated it according to the instructions and it's not working properly.It's detection rate seems very slow, as well. You need to slide it very slowly.I do not trust this device nor do I have time to return it so I guess I'll toss it in the garbage and stop taking risk on cheap tools.

Works great
