Customer Reviews

This product is the worst!!!!1
This thing does not work at all. If you press hard against the wall, the LED lights up even when there is no stud. Save your $$$$$.

No sensitivity1
This stud finder only has one LED. Moving it along the wall will often light up the LED when there is no stud. It is very frustrating. I bought a Stanley Intellisensor 77-110 for ten bucks, which has three red LEDs. When you pass a stud all three LEDs light up, and it makes a noise. The Stanley (and probably many others) work much better than this product.

Battleship Sunk! or not...1
I purchased this zircon because I was cheap and just wanted something to help me find a stud instead of knocking on the wall and listening to the subtle noises of finding a stud. I met my match trying to listen to find the studs in the ceiling trying to install a hyloft. I would it against the ceiling and hold the button and slide it across. Then the light would illuminate and I assumed I struck gold. A couple of strokes with the hammer and my nail was falling out. I tried it many times and it just wouldnt find a stud. Maybe it found imaginary studs but my ceiling definately has random holes along the top now
