About this item

ACCURATE: More sensors = More accuracy. Conventional stud finders have 1 or 2 sensors. The ProSensor T13 has 13, making it the most accurate stud sensing tool on the market. The ProSensor T13 has a max detection depth of 1.7". The LEDs track the location of studs while displaying the center and edges simultaneously.
EASY: One mode finds it all! The ProSensor T13 adjusts for a variety of depths, materials and textures. No calibration required. Press and hold the button to begin scanning. Unlike other stud sensors that give false readings, the ProSensor T13 allows you to start scanning anywhere, even over a stud.
DISPLAYS FULL STUDS: The ProSensor T13 displays the center and edges of studs simultaneously, showing single studs, double studs, and irregular configurations that other stud finders cannot detect. Works through drywall/sheetrock, standard lathe & plaster, and more!
DURABLE: #1 Rated by consumers and professionals, the ProSensor T13 stud finder is both accurate and durable.
EXTRA FEATURES: Built-In Bubble Level, Integrated Ruler and Convenient Pencil Caddy. Uses common AA batteries. Is NOT compatible with rechargeable batteries.

best tool invention since the wheel

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2024

I’ve been using a black+decker stud finder for about 8 years. It has always been terrible. If I had a dollar for every time it found a stud and then my screw/nail hit nothing but Sheetrock I could have retired at the age of 25 with a yacht and my own personal island. Enough about old junk, let’s talk about this thing. One word. Amazing. I was building shelves in my garage and this thing was right on the money every time. The multi sensors/lights make it fool proof. I should know… I’ve been called a fool multiple times. We will leave that for another day. The level was a nice touch too. I was able to attach a board leveled into multiple studs without doing the back and forth dance with a handful of tools to get it perfect. Other reviewers stated it was crap and couldn’t survive even a 2ft drop… they must have been doing 120mph down a highway and decided to see what would happen if dropped 2ft at that exact moment. Some people…. Smh … that’s all I can say…. I accidentally dropped this thing off an 8ft ladder. On its way down, it hit a solid oak work bench that was about 4 foot away , and then nailed a triple axle back spring quadruple summersault into a sweet 540 tail grab into a rail grind 5 ft away straight into the concrete slab. The sum bich still works. After the fall I put up another 8 shelves never missing a stud , and then hung 2 bikes off the wall with hooks… you guessed it… dead center of a stud. I can’t believe all the pain and suffering endured with a crappy, useless, insufferably inconsistent piece of shiza from black+decker for soooo many years. This thing is worth every penny. And no I did not get this product for free,. And yes it would have been stupid cool if I wouldn’t have had to pay for it to enjoy it and write this review. And yes I have insomnia and am currently unable to sleep so I’m hoping my honest review gives someone a smile and maybe convinces them that patching stupid holes in drywall for all the oops’s and gosh-darn-it’s is worse than the price on this thing. Save yourself some aggravation. Save yourself some pain. This thing might even save your marriage, who knows I no therapist.

I didn't know what to expect with the Franklin T13 but have used many stud sensors during my years doing electrical work. I purchased this device in hopes it could help me know where to drill for lag bolts in my shop roof trusses. I am installing solar panel frames there. The good news is...it actually helped. My trusses are on 24" centers so I measured to where the truss should be and then confirmed and modified the location with the Franklin T13. I could see the three LEDs in a row even though there were occasional other LEDs that would come on. I just would gently reposition it to see if the the three LEDs would stay at the same location on the roof and they did. Very impressed and no other stud sensor that I have owned would do this.

Dead simple and easy to use

Straight forward stud finder, doesn't need any calibration.
Just need to stick a couple of batteries in and you're all set.

The built-in pencil holder with included pencil is such a nice touch that I've already made use of the very first time I used the stud finder.

Innovative and Dependable

On my recent DIY adventure installing a ceiling mounted TV lift, I needed an updated tool for my kit - the Franklin Sensors T13 Stud Finder. Having been involved in construction over the years, even contributing to building houses from scratch and remodeling dozens more, I developed a good feel for tools, and this stud finder impressed me.
I've tried numerous stud finders before. They often demanded regular calibration, battery changes, and still were riddled with false positives and negatives. My house is less than 15 years old with standard wall composition, so naturally, these issues were frustrating. Any stud finder should have worked, but the 3 I had on hand did not work correctly regardless of what I tried. New batteries, recalibrating on every use, only using one hand etc all failed to give reliable results.
The T13, however, brought a refreshing simplicity to the process. No calibration needed - place it on the wall and let it do its magic, as slow movements reveal precise stud locations via easy-to-read indicators. Clear, straightforward, and requiring no special techniques, it's a stark contrast to the overly complex or unreliable alternatives.
What also struck me about this tool was its lightweight and durable design. I could see it remaining a crucial part of my kit for the foreseeable future.
So, whether you're like me, a DIY enthusiast with a construction background, or just someone who knows one end of a hammer from the other, the Franklin Sensors T13 Stud Finder is a reliable and efficient solution. Say goodbye to your wall scanning woes.
