Easy Stuf Finder
Would RecommendPretty cool little stud finder. Works great and it’s not to bulky. Actually magnetized to the wall so you can follow the stud easier

Does the Job
Would RecommendGood, inexpensive alternative to electronic stud finders. Works as advertised on metal studs and will stay on the wall if desired. On wood stud walls, you’ll feel resistance from the fasteners, but there is not enough metal to hold the stud finder to the wall. Does the job though.
