About this item

THE PERFECT GIFT FOR PRECISION: More sensors = More accuracy. Conventional stud finders have 1 or 2 sensors. The ProSensor M150 has 9, making it the most accurate stud sensing tool on the market. The ProSensor M150 has a max detection depth of 1 1/2". The precision LEDs track the location of studs while displaying the center and edges simultaneously.
EASY: One mode finds it all! The ProSensor M150 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 M150 allows you to start scanning anywhere, even over a stud.
DISPLAYS FULL STUDS: The ProSensor M150 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 and more!
DURABLE: #1 Rated by consumers and pros, the ProSensor M150 stud finder is both accurate and durable—making it a great holiday gift for the DIYer in your life.
EXTRA FEATURES: Live Wire Detection. Uses common AAA batteries. Is NOT compatible with rechargeable batteries.

Best stud finder I’ve ever owned. Simple to use, no doubt about where the stud is, so easy to read. My only wish is that the port for the batteries was a little more secure or that I could turn it on and off. But it’s accurate and simple. Worth the money.

I don't usually review stuff but this worked great. Wasn't convinced at first but ordered it. Used it immediately for mounting a tv and it was easy to use and accurate.
Definitely worth it over having a bunch of holes in the wall

Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2024
My old ( and old fashioned) stud finder could only find the ends of a stud, and only after multiple passes. The results would vary each time. This one reliably finds the stud easily each time.
The thing that really blew me away was that since the entire bathroom wall was tiled, I also bought a magnetic stud finder, as I was led to believe by posts that none of the traditional stud finders work behind tile. I found the studs with the magnetic stud finder, and this stud finder actually confirmed the location. I was able to install grab bars right into the studs, for a very secure installation. Very happy with this device!

5.0 out of 5 stars nice upgrade vs standard stud finders
Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2023
I'm finishing up building myself a 2200sf house. Solo. Good tools are my only helpers. My old stud finder died and I ordered a cheap but highly-rated Chinese replacement here on Amazon. Completely useless. So I decided to throw down for this not so cheap but highly-rated model. I wish I had bought one of these years ago. It's awesome.

I love that there's no startup/calibration time; as soon as you pinch the button it's working. That may only save 5 or so minutes of time over a day of installing baseboards etc, but the other finder I was using gave me the same awful feeling as waiting in stop-and-go traffic, despite the calibration time only being maybe 3 seconds before each scan.

The wide field of indicators is a brilliant design and really gives you confidence that the stud is where you're about to drill.

The only downside to this device is I find it has a hard time locating studs at wall corners, either inside or outside. This isn't a huge deal at wall edges like doorways because you can pretty safely assume there's a stud there, but I was surprised by this issue. Yesterday it was failing to see several 4x6 LVL posts at a door opening, covered with only one layer of standard sheetrock, which is bizarre given LVL's density. Perhaps metal drywall edge at corners throws off the sensors, IDK. Regardless, this is still the best stud finder I've used.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way Better Than Your Standard Stud Finder
Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2024
The accuracy of this stud finder is amazing. I needed a finder than could pinpoint the center of studs during a roof construction where a second layer 2x6's had to sit centered on rafters below decked with OSB and underlayment. Wasn't sure a stud finder could detect accurately through all this but it worked incredibly well. The different depth scans are really helpful. The big LED display bars indicate the rafter coming into scan range and the beep and light confirms the exact center. It was not affected by the presence of decking nails in the rafter, it just merely notes there are metal objects nearby. Its highly rated elsewhere and I can now certainly see why.

This is worth every penny. It’s so easy to use and can finds studs through my thick walls every time. I had a hard time before finding before this and now I know exactly where I need to drill. It’s easy to read and super strong. I would recommend to anyone. I’m sorry I didn’t get one of these sooner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best stud finder ive used
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024
One of the better stud finders ive used. The multiple led lights make it easier to know where the center of the stud is. Another standout feature is the live wire detection - its nice to know there is a live wire around before driving a nail or screw. Id buy this again if need be.
