Customer Reviews

Waste of space
This product is a waste of space. 1 star is too generous but I dunno how to remove the star and at least it finally worked. I should have read the reviews here before I bought this thing. Like others, this thing needs to reset itself, but as soon as you try to move it across the drywall, it loses it and starts buzzing an error and you need to stop, reset, and try again. I tried moving my hand really slowly and made sure the device maintained full contact with the wall. Took several trial and errors but it did finally detect a stud. Very irritating to use and requires a LOT of patience. Too sensitive to motion, not worth the price.

Horrible with a capital "H"
I bought this unit from Home Depot because it's the only brand of stud-finder they seem to carry in my area. It simply does not function. When I held the unit to the wall and pressed the button to "calibrate", all I got was a flashing screen and absolutely no stud-finding. I thought perhaps the batteries that it came with were poor so I changed them. Same result. Stay away from this POS.

Useless even at the price one paid for it !!
Bought it at Lowe's at the $24.95 sticker price thinking it must be a better one compared to the cheapest $10.95 model.. I was wrong :).. this one turned out to be a useless piece of equipment which took me atleast an hour more to get the mirror up on the wall compared to how much it would have taken me otherwise.. Novice user, so came here to confirm the findings and viola, I wasn't the only one :)
