 First Studfinder that really works January 8, 2007

Our house has lath and plaster walls that are covered by Sheetrock. It has always been very difficult to locate studs for hanging heavy items because of the thickness of the walls. The electronic studfinders are undependable. This one works astonishingly well. Just hold it somewhat loosely and move it around in a sort of figure-eight motion. When it finds a stud, it pulls out of your hand and hangs on the wall. You can double check it by trying the same process a foot or two lower. Great product!
Best Way To Find A Stud February 8, 2007

After using a variety of "stud finding" tools, I've finally ended my search. Short of high tech instrumentation not available to the general public, this stud finder is as good as it gets. It's amazing how we spend a lot of money on battery powered stud finders with all sorts of lights and sounds, when all you really need is this boring yellow magnet.

I agree with all the high praise for this low tech simple and highly effective approach to the age old stud finding task.
I don't know what took me so long it find this. Oh, I know. I didn't know 'this' kind of powerful finding magnet existed. I was use to being frustrated by the always questionable(is it a stud or isn't it) and unreliable high tech electronic ones, and at the other end, the low tech low power 'floating magnet pointer' kind.
Let me tell you the advantages from much OTJ experience. First, unlike the low power pointer kind, this one is much larger and there you can scan/cover an area much faster. Second, once you have located a stud nail its powerful magnet sticks to the nail providing an absolute positive ID, unlike an electronic one, and because it stays on the wall, it provides its own 'marker' until you are ready to attach your thingy. No marking on your wall.
Now, keep in mind once you have located a nail, if it is not where you want to attach something in the horizontal direction, measure in multiples of 16" increments in either direction to find other studs along your wall. Then move the magnet, to that location to scan again to verify the closest stud to your desired location. Also, once you have located your horizontal location, be sure your vertical location point selected to drive a larger nail or screw is really a full length stud locating a nail above and below your vertical point using this magnet.
Bottom line: Its simple, can't break, compact in your tool drawer, no marks(sticks to nail for reference point and is vinyl coated to protect wall while sliding/scanning), and can sub as a frig magnet. :)

I design and install custom closets for a living and for me, knowing what's in the walls is critical. Another Closetmaid Mastersuite dealer turned me on to STUD-4-SURE magnet and it is awesome. It will find a nail or screw in the drywall and the magnet is so strong, it will hang on the wall (like magic!). You don't get a false reading like you do with battery operated studfinders. It works great with metal studs too. I liked the product so much, I bought one as a gift for another Closetmaid Mastersuite dealer. This product is worth the $15 price tag.

I am in Stud heaven THIS WORKS! August 15, 2007

I have wasted so much money and time on the electronic devices as they only work 50% of the time. No more exploratory holes in the wall. This has worked every time. Its secret is the strength of the magnet and how it just holds it self on the wall when it finds a screw under the sheet rock, wainscoting (wooden slats on wall) or plaster. I am ordering more for gifts.
