  • Works Every Time!
I was initially hesitant to purchase this product after hearing negative things about electronic stud-sensors from my father-in-law and my handyman. Their advice was to go the old tried and true methods of tapping on the wall or using a finishing screw to confirm the location of a stud - both not an exact science either. I spent the past weekend hanging various pictures, artwork, mirrors and other objects in my home after some recent remodeling work and I am THRILLED with the performance of the Zircon StudSensor e50! I can't say enough how well this product works! The unit is super-easy to use and features a ergonomic grip with the power button recessed where you thumb will go. The unit automatically shuts off when the power button isn't depressed, saving battery-life. The onscreen indicator is virtually fool-proof and indicates the edge and center of a stud based on the completeness of the onscreen triangle. After finding center-stud the unit activates a small arrow-shaped laser indicating where to make your mark. Perfectly easy to use. I'm happy to say that this sensor even saved me from a costly rookie mistake. I was planning on hanging a heavy mirror in my master bedroom and completely forgot that a pocket door was on the same wall. I kept scanning for a stud and I was receiving strange readings from the sensor. After initially thinking the sensor was malfunctioning I realized my mistake, thankfully before any drilling or nailing had taken place. This stud sensor is now a permanent part of my toolbox. Recommended! ... show more

  • It found some studs!
It found some studs! This unit for the price amazed me. It does a great job of locating studs. You can even trace out with the red laser each edge of the stud so you know exactly where the center is. I am sure the strength meter is suppose to do that, but that is useless. It goes from nothing to full in 1/8 of an inch when you hit the edge of the stud. But if you know what you are doing you will realize it is not needed anyway. DEEP Scan? Well that one is not a 10 out of 10. If you are hanging light tag board and want to scan through it, it works great, but if you have lathe, move on and find a better unit, this is not the one. But That is not an issue for me, so this gets 5 stars! ... show more

  • Works good
Works as expected every time. I bought this to find studs in the wall to hang cabinets. You push the button where you think there is no stud until the light blinks then while holding the button, slide it across the wall. It then lights at the corner of the stud and stays on until the stud end corner is reached. If it doesn't light at all after the initial scan, start over on a different part of the wall that you think there is no stud. This worked flawlessly. It found the stud every time and it was very accurate. I have no complaints. It's exactly what I wanted/needed and the price was right. ... show more

  • Works for me
Used this on various wall types, materials, thicknesses. It's as best as any finder can be. If you are having trouble finding stud because of wires, thick walls, interference or strange mods just (I use lots of blue tape) mark the walls at various (many) heights and average your results by going for a best fit to the curve. Another trick, if the wall is rough, or sticky, is to move the finder over a piece of paper on the wall so it can smoothly move. At any rate this is a good product for the money. ... show more

  • Everyone needs something like this, and this is a pretty good one
It works as advertised. I would recommend this over the cheaper and smaller non-battery magnet stud finders - ultimately those still involve some guesswork, while this one shows you exactly where the studs are located. Using this, I pretend that I am a submarine using sonar to locate things hidden in the wall. My criticisms are: 1) It has a relatively lightweight and cheap feeling plastic body. It feels like it might break at some point after being manhandled in the field, and 2) It's (unnecessarily?) bulky - about the size of a hand. It takes up a lot of room in my toolbox for something with such a niche application. ... show more

  • Worked perfectly
I followed the instructions and have been very happy with this stud finder. Place it on the wall in an area without a stud and hold the on button for five or so seconds before you start moving it around to find the the studs. This lets it calibrate. I used it on exterior walls with thick insulation and on interior hollow walls. It worked perfectly every time, showing me where the electrical lines were and even pointing out a previously unknown horizontal support in my exterior wall. I have nothing but praise for this sensor because it helped me successfully install my home theater system and saved me a bunch of time and effort. ... show more

  • Tool works well
used this many times now. works really well. Had to mount several shelves and three flat screen t.v.s in an older house where we didn't know what was behind the walls. I was able to line things up without making a lot of holes first. Very accurate for my needs. Runs on a 9V battery. After my experiences, hard not to recommend it. ... show more

  • Worked very well for me
If I remember the complaints from some people, they said that it keeps giving different locations for the stud edges. For my wooden studded home with normal sheet rock, this stud finder was accurate and consistent enough that I was able to find the middle of the studs and put fairly large lag bolts in there to put up a flat panel TV. I think none of these things are perfect, and yes, I did have some variability in the edges, but it was fairly minor and didn't cause me any problems. I picked it up, used it, and put it down, so I can't complain. ... show more
