Stud Finder Sensor Wall Scanner - 5 in 1 Electronic Stud Sensor Locator Wall Wood Beam Joist Finders Wall Detector Edge Center Finding with LCD Display for Wood Live AC Wire Metal Studs Detection

Great product for locating studs but have to repeat the checking process when looking for electrical cables to get accurate location. Easy to use.

I highly recommend purchasing this stud finder, even if you don't have various projects around the house. My father used to be the person who would accurately install my house accessories. He always did things by the book and I was "that" DIY person that randomly nailed things into my wall without having a stud finder. Yep, totally guilty! After my father passed away, he wasn't there to make sure my wall ornaments or accessories were leveled, strongly held/properly supported and safely nailed and drilled into walls. After fighting my walls (haha) for not letting me install my heavy as heck curtain rod without falling, I said, "Okay dad, you win! I'll finally give in and get a stud finder and make you stop rolling over in your grave." I searched Amazon for quite sometime in hopes of finding something that was affordable, good quality, and accurate and stumbled upon this little gem after going through various stud finders and reviews. It came quickly, brand new, and worked perfectly. It took a few seconds to recognize where the studs and wires were and were not. And um....as you can see in the photo, I finally hung up my curtains correctly and they are holding up strong. What are those big dots within the record circle you ask? My many failed attempts of drilling into the wall only to hit God knows what and fail at my project. Now I can lay under my curtains without worrying that they are going to collapse on my head and send me straight to the afterlife, ha, ha! The adjustable depth and various options for inquiring about what exists behind the wall is great and the arrows easily point you in the direction of where you can safely drill. As I said, it's an easy and efficient drill that does its job without complicating life or frustrating you in the process. Even if youre just planning on hanging up something as simple as picture frames, trust me, this will save you time and ensure that you actually hung them properly and that they are secure. Hope this review helped anyone who needs it!

Easily locates joists through stippled ceiling with extreme accuracy. Love the centering locator for the stud/joist. Also easily located studs through plaster and lath in my house. Other stud finders I had couldn't do this or were not at all accurate. Nice feature is being able to set the depth of search from 1/2" to 1 1/2". Great notification of electrical lines and metal like duct work so you do not drill into any of these. I highly recommend this stud finder. The price is definitely very reasonable for the accuracy, efficiency and ease of use.

Waste of money.....don't buy it

I purchased this stud finder just to replace a low quality one I had. The old one just found its way to the kids toy box, because this one does what it is supposed to! There is a brief calibrating function before each use, but to me that is a small price to pay for its accuracy. It really is accurate. The metal and AC wire scanners work well, also, as seen in the photos I included. These are areas I know to have the respective materials, and it found them with perfect accuracy, so long as it is calibrated properly, which isnt hard to do. After the frustration of a bad stud finder that had the center at different spots, I am happy to have one that finds center, coming from both directions. The notch for the pencil is wide enough to accomodate my carpenters pencil, as well. A very well made product!

Funktion ist gut Bedienung leicht, Beschreibung in deutsch wäre Vorteilhaft.
