Product Information

Stud Finders StudSensor™ L40 View Retailers Stud Edge Finding DeepScan® Mode SpotLite® Beam WireWarning® Detection Automatic calibration allows for easy, fast detection; requires very little user participation to detect studs That depends on the individual tool. Some beep when they detect the edge of a stud, while others beep when they detect the center of a stud. Some stud finders beep to let the user know they’ve just recalibrated. Q. Are outlets always on studs? Signal Strength Indicator helps distinguish between shallow and deep targets while in StudScan mode

Stud Finders Wood Stud SuperScan​® Stud Edge Finding Stud Center Finding DeepScan® Mode Target Control® Technology SpotLite® Beam WireWarning® Detection Low Battery Indicator Auto Correcting Technology LoLevel™ Detector MetalliWarning™ After spending years tapping on walls and using bare magnets, we’re happy to say that the latest stud finders really are better than they used to be. Standard practice is to start by calibrating your stud finder somewhere you don’t expect a stud and then move in a horizontal line across the place you need to find one. High-quality electronic stud detectors can detect studs located deeper in the wall than what a magnet can detect (up to 1½ inches).A battery indicator (electronic models only) will alert you when it’s time to replace the batteries. While some electronic models take AA or AAA alkaline batteries, a growing number require the use of a small 9-volt battery to adequately power multiple options. Typically, you’ll just see sensors capable of detecting changes in density just beyond the width of a typical piece of drywall. It won’t necessarily matter what that change in density is. However, some sensors can detect more. This includes stud finders that can distinguish iron pipes, detect through ceramic tile and other materials, and even find livewires. To stand out, manufacturers will add features of varying degrees of usefulness. These bonus features can vary from being neigh-on essential (at least, for you) to being expensive price boosters. If you already have one of the best home tool kits, you will likely find yourself not needing too many extras on your stud finder.

Bob Vila has been America’s Handyman since 1979. As the host of beloved and groundbreaking TV series including “This Old House” and “Bob Vila’s Home Again,” he popularized and became synonymous with “do-it-yourself” home improvement. WireWarning™ detection indicates the presence of live, unshielded AC electrical wiring up to 50 mm deepErgonomics are worth considering, especially if you’ll be using your stud finder on a regular basis. Many stud finders have a comfortable grip in the shape of a computer mouse, which we recommend for users to gently and carefully guide it along the wall. Extra Features This doesn’t mean the Zircon is foolproof. We still got false positives with this stud finder, and the red light indicator and precision pencil marking system are not actually telling you where the exact center of a stud is every time. It’s just better than most comparable tools. The Zircon stud finder also did an excellent job of detecting live wires, and while I didn’t have any metal studs to scan for, the stud finder detected steel rebar in a concrete planter.
