From the Manufacturer
VideoScanner will save you time and money by eliminating guesswork, rework, needless holes, and costly broken drill bits and saw blades. It will precisely locate wood, metal studs, joists, pipes, conduit, or rebar while continuously detecting the presence of hot electrical wires. Three selectable modes ensure precision: normal, DeepScan, and metal. The DeepScan technology penetrates concrete, plywood, drywall, paneling, and flooring. Metal detection mode helps you find heating and plumbing pipes, inner-wall exhaust vents, and ducting.

Customer Reviews

short life
I have owned two of these the 5.0 and 5.5 neither one lasted more than a month past the short warranty. They did work but they weren't idiot proof. Part of the problem was the switch on the face of the unit. How hard you pressed on the switch would affect its calibration for finding studs etc. I would positively look elseware. I presently own a Stanley which is more accurate and longer lived.

Not at all Accurate
If Amazon.com's software would allow a rating of "No Stars" this stud finder would get it!

As the other writer pointed out, the switch on this thing is terrible. It is too sensitive. Also, you can't put this in your tool apron because the switch kicks on everytime it bumps something (even slightly) in there. This causes that annoying error tone.

Finally, it is simply not accurate. When I first got it, I tested it. It didn't find studs where I knew there was one and it said there was one when I knew there wasn't. I don't trust it's accuracy at all and I might as well throw it in the garbage because I don't use this one anymore. I bought a different one and am much happier.

best suited on the supplier's shelf
I bought one, took it home and laughed like hell. The only stud it found was on an outside corner where I knew there was two together. According to this gadget, the studs in my apartment are at about 36"oc. I took mine back with the battery still in it. At least now it is worth something. I never did try it on the job. After all I specialize in satisfaction and this will not work. Chuck S. Anytime Home Repair
