I've had several. My current model is a Zircon. None of them are worth a chit.

Outlet boxes hang on studs, pull outlet cover and find out which side the stud is on and lay out the studs from there. No chit? How bout bathroom walls with no plugs. I could tell you, but you probably wouldn’t understand... Especially with a response like above.

Do me a favor - take a little Windex and some paper towels, and clean that bathroom mirror of yours.

Zircon A100 here. Mine has stud scan and deep scan for thicker walls and fire resistant drywall. Detects Wood and Metal studs. I think it also alerts on wires. Got it off Amazon a few years ago. $20-$30.

My knuckles are the best stud finder I've used thus far. I just knock on the wall and listen for the difference in tone of the knock, so I can differentiate between just hollow empty space and a stud. When I find one, I measure 16 inches on either side of it to figure out what the spacing is between each stud just to be extra sure.

If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

Franklin sensor is hands down the best. I use one daily. x2 I have a Franklin pro sensor 710 that works well. ^^The answer I was looking for, thank you. Just my experience. Regardless of your choice. It is a tool. You need a contol to base your readings. PSA. I have a Zircon now. It works best with blue painters tape on wall side of tool. Seems to allow you slide a cross texture better. Less false signals.
If the 2nd amendment was written just to include guns for hunting, why is there not an amendment to protect fishing poles?
