Useless

Date:October 28, 2011

"I got this stud finder along with a laser temperature meter. I've used it a couple times with frustrating results. Might as well punch a nail through the drywall to see if there's a stud on the other side, you'll make fewer holes that way. Don't waste your money on this no matter how much of a good deal you think it is.

Spend a bit more on a real quality stud finder and save yourself the headache."

Used to work just ok. Now it doesn't

Date:March 26, 2011

"Had this for a few years. It used to work ok. Sometime would get some misleading results.

Over time it has been working less a less effectively. Mostly trouble getting it to calibrate against the wall. The indicator wont stop beeping. It's been dropped a few times, maybe that the issue."

Not much help

Date:January 15, 2010

"This thing works fine if you are searching for studs behind 3/8 inch drywall. I found it would misread on almost anything else and was virtually useless to me when I was trying to locate ceiling joists behind 5/8 drywall."

Quite good... for the sale price

Date:June 19, 2009

"Bought it on sale some time back. It's accurate for basic stud finding. Drywall is no problem, but don't ask for more. If that is all you need, then it's OK. But floor joists are unknown to this one. I'm about to replace it with the Mastercraft Maximum Centrescan. I need to find deeper studs and joists."

very questionable

Date:July 11, 2008

"I bought it. But wish I hadn't.
By the time you narrow it down and get a reliable reading, it would have been quicker using another method."

JUNK!!!!!!!

Date:May 19, 2008

"I bought this stud finder as a part of my brothers christmas gift, because of the ratings on here, but it isn't good, it is infact not worth a penny and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I was actually embarressed the other day. I was helping him hang a oouple of shelves in his garage. The stud finder would say that the stud was here but it was in fact not even close. JUNK!!!!!!! USELESS!!!!! so embaressing, don't buy it, u'll regret it, i promise!"

Okay

Date:May 18, 2008

"I found this stud sensor to work in most cases where the drywall is thin. However, if the drywall is thick, then it’s not as easy to find the stud and sometimes it may take repeated scanning. It’s still working after about 4 years of use, although, if I had to get another one, I’d look for one that could scan through thicker drywall."

YOU NEED THIS TOOL!

Date:October 8, 2007

"If you're hanging a 100lbs mirror or just putting up some shelves this takes half the work out of the job. Found it very accurate even scanning through 3/4 drywall."
