Perfect tool
Would RecommendThis product was super beneficial in locating studs in my house and helping me mark them.

Old school for thick plaster walls
Would RecommendMy house was built in 1918 and has plaster and lath walls covered with drywall. It's impossible to fund a stud with electronic studfinders through all that material. This one digs deep and finds the nails in the lath strip. It's worked pretty well so far with some practice. Inexpensive too.
