Simple is best

Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024

This product is great. It outperformed an electronic stud finder that I wasted money on. Very easily and accurately found the studs in my garage wall, was able to quickly mount some hanging hooks. I highly recommend this.

Very useful and Friendly for your pocket.

Very useful tool for our work. We needed to find some solid wood under a drywall to attach a steel railing to and with this tool it was very easy. The magnet is strong and the size is perfect to fit in your pocket.

Finding Studs Made Simple

Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2024

When it comes to home improvement, some tasks seem more daunting than others. For me, hanging anything on the walls was always a challenge, until I discovered a tool that changed the game – a simple, yet incredibly effective stud finder. This magnetic marvel turned what used to be a guessing game into a quick, precise, and oddly satisfying task.

Let's face it, traditional stud finders can be fiddly, often requiring batteries and calibration, and still leaving you uncertain. This tool, however, uses the power of strong neodymium magnets to find the nails or screws in your wall studs. As you glide it across the wall, it magically clings to the exact spot where a stud is located. The sheer simplicity of the design is genius - no batteries, no electronic beeps, just a reliable, tactile guide.

What's more, its ergonomic design means it fits comfortably in your hand and moves smoothly over the wall. It's perfect for any DIY project, whether you're hanging a heavy mirror, installing shelves, or mounting a TV. And for someone who is cautious about damaging walls, I appreciate that it doesn’t leave any marks or scratches.

But what really sets this tool apart for me is its versatility and reliability. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a complete novice, it's incredibly user-friendly. You don't need to be an expert to find studs accurately – a relief for someone who has battled with more complex tools in the past.

So, whether you're renovating your home, moving into a new place, or just love a bit of DIY, this stud finder is a must-have in your toolkit. It's not just a tool; it's a game-changer for wall-mounting projects, making them simpler and more enjoyable.

Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to precision in your home improvement adventures.

Face the stud finder vertical for more accuracy!

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2023

This is a magnet, meaning that it will find the nails that keep your stud in place. Find the nail, then you find the stud. Don't be confused about what this can do. I've used this to mount a TV and perform several other house projects, here are my tips/thoughts:

1. Studs run up and down the wall and are normally spaced 16 or 24 inches apart. When the magnetic stud finder connects with a nail, make sure it is vertical to the ground in order to get a better visual of house the stud is running through your wall.

2. It's a strong magnet so there shouldn't be any issues finding the nails, but just remember that you should REALLY feel the magnetic pull. I take the stud finder in one hand and "wipe" the wall like I'm cleaning a large window. It should lurch in place, and you shouldn't be thinking "I think that's it", you will know.

3. Value for money is great, ease of use is great. Accuracy takes some getting used to, but after I put the first couple screws in for my TV mount, I got a lot more confident and haven't missed the stud yet.

Simple and designed well

Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2024

This doesn’t have to have batteries to work! The rare earth magnets inside of it provide a very good way of determining where drywall nails and drywall screws are. This is simple and works well. I find myself grabbing this first and then backing up my findings with a normal stud finder tool.

Bloody thing WORKS!

Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2024

Wasted big bucks on electronic stud finders,they Did not work well on Florida homes. CBC construction, fir strips too thin, even thick paint.
This simple device works EVERY TIME. No it won't make coffee. It will detect ferrous metal nails screws and stick to the wall. BRILLIANT.

Seriously the easiest stud finder to use

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2024

No batteries, no fancy beeps or trying to determine if it's a stud, or wires or whatever. No more having to hope the app you downloaded works right and definitely no more guessing. I also could not figure out the whole tapping thing. It just sticks on the wall where a nail or screw is in the stud and you have your straight line up and down that piece of the wall. I bought a whole cat shelf set and installed it myself with the use of this little guy. The shelves are sturdy and I was able to make sure that each piece was in at least one stud. I'm glad I spent the $10.
