Product Description

The StudSensorTM HD70 center finding stud finder boasts more design innovations by Zircon. Featuring a bright, backlit LCD display, it debuts a new Spotlight that illuminates on-screen when you've found the center of a stud. A low battery indicator also informs you when your battery should be replaced for optimum performance. Two stud scan modes find the center, edges, and direction of wood and metal studs while also alerting you to the presence of live AC electrical wiring.

Its growing on me.
So like others have mentioned in their review, this stud finder has it plusses and negatives, let's start with the plusses. First, it's a bit larger than my others, so it's easier to hold. The screen is bright and very simple to read, and when you pass over a stud, it lights up like a chrismas tree, so you will definitely know when your over one. It tells you when you are directly centered over the stud, or if you are only on the edge, and I love the little lightning icon that let's you know if you are near an electrical outlet. Now, with all that being said, there are a few things they may need to fine tune. The first is what other are also having trouble with, and thats being inconsistent. I will run this over the wall and will say there is a stud, but run it over the same spot and nothing. Once you find a stud, the light (arrow ) only stats on for a few seconds then flickers instead of keeping a solid beam. The other thing that I noticed is that if you are not eye level with the screen, you can't read it as the reading dissappears. If this was more consistent, I would have given this a 5 star all day long, but I still think that it needs more work.Update: so I have been using this a bit more lately around the house, and it seems to be working a bit better than when I first used it. Even though the batteries were new when it arrived, I replaced them with new ones, and it seemed to help. Maybe the unit was sitting around for a while before it shipped, but it seems that it's more precise that it was before I added new batteries. It's still not perfect, but better than it was.

Aye this gadget is a must around your house or even apartment. For hanging anything its better to find the stud to be sure nothing you hang will fall down lol. I got this HD70 rather then the cheaper version available because it has more options like AC wires, it will show you the exact middle of the stud, the edge its pretty good. Other people reviews says they LCD screen is not very clear visible but for me its perfect, maybe they need to fully charged 9V battery. But it works as it supposed to.

I see a lot of negative reviews for this product but I think it's worked great. It has constantly located the center of the stud for me every time. It will also tell you if electrical cables are present and when your only on the edge for the beem. I am no contractor but this product has worked great for me and saved me from patch up holes when hanging stuff.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not precise or accurate, don't buy this model.
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021
0 star if possible.
This stud finder is not accurate or precise.
I attempted to use it for finding studs for curtain hanging and it failed miserably time and time again.
So I did an experiment. There's construction across the street with discarded sheet rock, 2x4, and 2x6. So I nailed some discarded sheet rock to the 2x4 and 2x6 in squares, rectangles, and vertical single straight studs, so effectively I could see where the studs are on one side and I have the sheet rock on the other side. This thing was horrendous at finding it, even knowing where it should be it would be off by up to 3/4 of an inch I to empty space, when it indicated it was on center.

I did figure it was great at finding studs IF there were nails in the studs, but it was terrible if it was away from nails. Likely the increased density of the nails made it pick up the 'center' as wherever I had mailed, even if the nail went off center of the stud, this stud finder registered it as center. However, on bare studs, it was completely inaccurate and imprecise...like throwing darts for a bullseye blindfolded or hitting a pinata eyes closed.

Feels comfortable to hold and the screen is viewable enough if at eye level.
