Zircon StudSensor Picture Hanging Kit with Edge Finding Stud Finder And Assorted Picture Hooks Reviews
This device feels cheap; the plastic shell feels flimsy, and you can feel the back flex when you hold it. It really does look and feel like complete junk.br /br /On the upside, though, I've had mine for at least five years. I bought it because it was very, very cheap, and my past experiences with stud finders had left me with the impression that they were generally of questionable value ... I found that knocking on the drywall to be much more accurate. This cheap little unit showed me how wrong I was. Even without nails or wires, this gadget is accurate enough to show me both edges of the stud. Every time.br /br /I do have one caveat ... there is a "glitch" that led me to believe that this model was also garbage for a while, until I figured out how to use it. It has a "deep scan" mode; now, I generally use a stud finder to find studs behind drywall. "Deep scan" isn't necessary for that. In fact, in my experience, "Deep Scan" *always* reveals something behind the wall. Always. The problem is that switching between "normal" and "Deep Scan" mode is too easy ... there are directions printed right on the back of the device ... follow them, make sure you are not in "Deep Scan" mode, and this unit will work like a champ.

It works! - Hailey - San Francisco, CA
I originally bought a magnetic stud finder - I searched and searched and didn't find a single stud.br /br /I then bought this Zircon Stud Finder and it worked great. It located the studs very easily. I didn't have any trouble putting the battery in like one of the other reviews mentioned. The guy I spoke to at the hardware store said that the more expensive Zircon stud finders are essentially the same but have a fancier display. This one worked fine for my needs and the price was right.
