Works as Expected

10 years ago
I was hesitant to get this stud finder after reading the reviews, but after putting up some floating shelves I can say it does the job it's supposed to do. Be aware that if you're having problems locating a stud, try starting on a different part of the wall. When you first turn it on it calibrates itself, so if it's over a stud at that time it'll read that density (and lower) as empty space. My only negative point about it is that it seems to be a little over sensitive when sensing electrical current so it sometimes indicates there is electrical where there is none. Over all for I'm pretty happy with it.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Works great and cheap

Not sure what everyone else is talking about and giving this product only 2 stars. I used this product and within seconds I found where my studs were and were extremely accurate at finding the edges of my wooden studs. You just have to know how to properly use one.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Didn't work at all

12 years ago
I thought a basic stud sensor was all I need for a few home things. This one didn't work at all, same as all the other reviews. I put the battery in, put it on the wall, all it did was beep at me as many times as I tried it. It says you first hold it on the wall away from a stud so it calibrates, but it doesn't. I tried doors, ikea furniture, my arm, all that happened when I pressed the button was it beeped. Don't buy this product, hopefully you read this before you get one from the store and not after like I did. Had to return it. Mastercraft isn't what it used to be.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: How do I calibrate it? I put it on the wall and press the button but its been beeping for too long longer than 2 minutes and I have tried different places on the wall

  • A: I have the same problem but I suspect it is just a matter of changing the stock 9V battery in the back. I gather that is why the thing is continuously beeping.
