Customer Reviews

Works better than I expected
I replaced an older scanner with this new Zircon. I researched on the Zircon site and found the videos to help me understand how the scanner works. This scanner works exactly as advertised. It is like looking into the wall. Scanning across the wall you see the edges of the stud and the unit clearly indicates the center. The electric wire sensor works well. Overall I am very impressed.

Finally! A Stud Finder that Works!!!
I have tried various methods of finding studs to hang heavy items, e.g., Large Vanity Mirror Cabinet. The "hunt and peck" method leaves a lot of holes. The magnetic stud finders can find the stud nails all right, but I found out they also find copper metal hot water pipes and could not tell me the difference. Drilling into one of those hot water pipes by mistake was quite an experience I do not want to repeat. This Zircon i520 Stud finder is a lot cheaper than the plumber I had to call out on an emergency to fix my mistake. The Zircon i520 easily found and correctly identified the same copper metal water pipes I drilled into by mistake. It also found live electrical lines, plus the studs I was looking for. Great device. Clearly shows you the edges and center of the studs. Very easy to use. DVD How-to guide (plus, there are training videos on line at Zircon's website. I can highly recommended this stud finder.

Solid Performer
Though this scanner will not penetrate well through carpet, it does a good job on wall studs and floor joists through linoleum. I've owned three different scanners and this one is the best performer yet.
