5.0 out of 5 stars tricky to get it working
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2022
This thing works great--when you know how to use it properly. You have to have the device against the wall before turning it on. While holding it against the wall, press and hold the button on the side (it will do one long beep and the light will stay green- DONT LET GO OF THE BUTTON), now swipe it across the wall. It will beep and glow red once you've found a stud.

If you press the power button before contact with the wall, it will give false readings.

It's a great bang for buck (I'm just hanging shelves nothing serious), but it's a bit frustrating to get working right away. Also it doesn't come with a 9V battery, so there's that.

I decided I wanted to put my TV on a wall mount. I bought this gadget to help me locate the studs and it didn't disappoint. It does beep loudly so if you're secretly trying to use it while your husband is home, it might give you away. First time I've used one and it was easy. My TV is now wall mounted and hasn't fallen off yet. Husband doesn't mind it being wall mounted. Very pleased!

Easy to use , straightforward stud finder. Good for home diy projects where you know how far apart the studs should be theoretically. I would not use it for more complex jobs.

5.0 out of 5 stars User error not defective
Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021
Great purchase!! I notice a lot of videos of people saying it was defective. I too thought that but realized I was using it wrong... ????... first you have to place the item flush to the walk, then press and hold the power button. It will light up and beep then stop, when it stops beeping and the red light goes off, that's when you start running it along the wall while never releasing the button until you are finished.

I suggest starting at the very corner of your wall not in the middle for if you do that and you just so happen to be on a beam it won't work. It also won't work if you just press and release the button, as well as if you press and hold the button while not on the wall then trying to place it on the wall.

I hope this is helpful to everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Use This Tool Along with Common Sense
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2024
My earlier frustrations with the inaccuracies of cheap stud-finders drove me into the purchase of a hi-tech $50 one that would show studs, metal and electrical wiring. Result? I drove myself nuts with it. It is no more accurate than those cheap $10 Stud-Finders. I got rid of it.

So, I went on Amazon and bought cheap. I got a Craftsman and a Stud-Buddy both for $10 apiece. They work as accurate as I might expect. Use some common sense and they will give you enough data to make an informed decision. But don't expect miracles just reality. There are limits.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best little MUST HAVE gadget EVER!
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2022
I just purchased this handy dandy little gadget.TWICE neighbor girl came over looking for my 'stud finder' as she wanted to hang a shelf. borrowed her mine and then went online and bought her one for herself...told her she is going to NEED THIS little gadget FOREVER, saying to her,with a laugh, 'don't give it to your dad.you'll never see it again.' She loves it so much, I got big hugs from her for thinking of her. So I decided that I needed to buy another for my niece who just moved into her own apartment. Tell you what ,if you know young people who are out on their own and will often struggle as to 'how to' hang anything on a wall without it falling down (which ,in my own personal experience, looking back, would always be in the middle of the night, and it would scare the bejeezes out of me) This is small, easy to use and just about anyone who has ever hung anything on a wall, would love to have ! this is a great little gadget, saves one from having to make SEVERAL holes in the wall just to hang ONE thing! I remember my mother trying to hang things.alot of what she hung on the wall would have up to 5 extra unused holes in the wall behind whatever she hung up(laugh) This also works especially well for when you need to hang a curtain rod and want to be sure you anchor the mounting brackets to the stud and not the sheetrock....anchors work.kinda. Until they don't....then you're left with a huge hole in the wall from the anchor that pulled out due to the weight .( I learned this from experience, so allow my experience to spare you the pain of having to make repairs to your walls ,the way I used to have to) This operates on an easily found 9volt battery (not included). Will last for years!!!! It is an indispensable item for anyone who has ever wanted to hang ,or hans hung,anything of 'weight' on their wall.. It is well worth the cost effective price. it will cost you more to repair/patch your wall and replace what was broken when it fell off the wall because you didn't hit the stud. AND I really like that this little gadget lets you know when you are at the edge of a stud. VERY HELPFUL! You want to be dead on center when at all possible.especially if you're hanging a mirror..... not that I can say I don't enjoy the sound of breaking glass.....but it's rather dangerous to clean up that kind of mess. Yep. Everyone should have one of these.
