What Customers Are Saying

Customers praise the stud finder for accurate center-stud detection with clear visual and auditory indicators, making TV mounting confident and simple. Many appreciate the dual scan modes for thick or layered walls and the built-in wire detection feature for enhanced safety. However, some report inconsistent performance on older walls, wet plaster, or when scanning in different directions, occasionally receiving conflicting results. Despite these limitations, most customers consider it reliable and a worthwhile upgrade for home projects.

Not too much, not too little....

Would Recommend

I was looking for a stud finder with wire detection at a reasonable price. The price on this one was, as Goldilocks said, "just right" and I'm pleased with the sensitivity of the alerts. Just remember to grab a battery if you don't have one at home!

Deep Scan Very Helpful

Would Recommend

We were originally going to get a more expensive one but decided to give this a go and have found that the Deep scan does a great job finding electrical and has accurately found the center of the studs

Very nice upgrade!

Would Recommend

I bought this to replace an older, basic Zircon stud finder that I have always liked. This one is a huge leap forward in sensitivity, detection, and accuracy.

Call a stud finder... BUT NOT FOR ME

Would Recommend

It certainly seems to work well so far. Great at finding studs, so I tend to hold it a little away from me so it doesn't constantly go off. ;) Thanks, ill be here til they ban me from reviews.

Great tool, but double check your work.

Would Recommend

For the most part, this is very reliable. It will give you false positives here and there, so make sure you double check your work. I marked the location with a pencil, ran the stud finder over it again, and if it gave me the same reading, it was accurate. However, if it moved or didn't find a stud again, I continued hunting until I got multiple positive readings in the same spot.

Worked Fine but NOT Durable At All

Would Not Recommend

Performance wise it is probably as sufficient as other similarly priced devices but it is incredibly underwhelming when it comes to durability as you can see with this virtually unscratched device. Can't imagine what would have happened if it had actually been dropped.

CHEAP PLASTIC UNRELIABLE JUNK

Would Not Recommend

I purchased this mainly to locate studs for extremely large TV installations, within the first few day the substandard plastic pins that hold the battery cover on broke, then the cover clip. Even with new batteries always told me they were dead and it was NEVER accurate. Buy a good Franklin.
