Finds the studs
July 4, 2017
Good item. Helped me to identify wooden vertical studs when fixing Flowwall in garage. Used the deeper setting and followed the clear instructions
Works well
May 7, 2017
it beeps every time I get near it. Ok seriously I had another one for years but it meet a tragic death, I liked it do much when I went to replace it I spent time hunting down this specific one. I have used others now and again with more features that sense pipes and wires and so on but they did not perform their key function of finding studs in the walls like this one can. The last one I had for I think over ten years and the battery never died,.
Great Stud Sensor for the Price
May 2, 2017
I've used this device a few times now and so far it works great. Sure makes finding studs much easier and more precise.
Good price works like a $35 one
July 25, 2016
The instructions are printed on the item...they basically say to go over the stud keep going a few inches and go back...it's not that hard if you can't figure this out then you shouldn't be hanging heavy objects or whatever you're doing. very well made and clear about the location of the stud and it's options. red light is great to have makes it easy to draw a perfectt line and the included tips are very useful

Works as advertised!
Great product
August 31, 2016
4 stars bc it's not 100% accurate, and does not come with batteries..
Ok for Harry Homeowner
August 7, 2016
Have an earlier version that has a flaky switch, so I purchased this to replce/upgrade.

Accuracy is close, but not as accurate as my earlier Unit has been once the flaky switch kept it on.

Beats the old hammer and nail study finding trick by a mile, but it is a very reasonably priced unit for a Harry Homeowner project guy.
Compact, accurate, but flimsy construction
March 20, 2016
I used several models of this product family and this one is by far the best. First of all, it is very compact yet sensitive. The traces are clear. The button is flimsy so I wonder how long it will last . You will have to run it a couple of times to see the exact location of the stud (run both directions) but the accuracy is reasonable.

Not crazy about it. Have to take multiple readings and tapped on wall to confirm.

September 27, 2016
Works well on walls that are less than 1/2 inch in thickness. I had some difficulty locating studs on thicker walls.
Doesn't work as promised but it does get the job done if you're patient
September 13, 2016
Doesn't work as good as it claims maybe the one up from this level works better but it gets the job done if you're intelligent and kind of know what you're doing
Not what I hoped for.
July 2, 2016
I thought from the advertising that it would read studs through shower stall tile, but not so. It's a bit better than my old stud finder, but not strong enough to penetrate the shower stall tiles. Oh well, at least I tried.
Just ok.

More $ than similar one at Target. Does the job, but is slightly overpriced.

Was difficult to use for me. Would beep at different places after passing it over the same section of wall multiple times. Also doesn't come with batteries.

I think it came missing a part. The batteries just rolled around in the housing. Never got to use it, just returned it immediately.
Hard to find stud with this thing
October 18, 2015
There were several times that it said there was a stud and there was not. I went back to the knock on the wall method and typically find the stud the first time. It is okay...

After opening the package and trying to put the batteries in the casein was weak and would not close but it was an easy return

VERY POOR QUALITY.
March 7, 2017
WAS NOT ACCURATE AT ALL. VERY POOR QUALITY.
Did Not Work!
December 9, 2016
Did not work. I changed batteries, I tried it on four walls and it did not blink once. Went next door and borrowed my neighbors (another brand) and it located the stud immediately. Threw it in the trash and bought the brand my neighbor has.
NOT AS DESCRIBED - NO DEEP SCAN FEATURE!!!!
July 2, 2016
I ordered the Zircon StudSensor Pro SL Edge Finder Deep-Scanning Stud Finder with SpotLite Pointing System but that is NOT what I received. Unfortunately I didn't realize this until after I cut open the package and went to use it. I received the Zircon StudSensor SL Edge Finder Stud Finder without the deep scan feature.
Be sure to check the item before opening the package.
Does not find stud
June 6, 2016
I decided to give this product a try despite all the negative feedback. Should have trusted the varying reviews because this product does not work. It worked the very first time i tested to find a stud on the wall and then after that, for some reason, it never found another stud again. Worthless product.

January 28, 2015
This item did not work at all, but it is not worth my time to send it back for the price. I opened the package slapped a battery in it, and nothing happed I tried 3 different battery's I had laying around and it still didn't work. So I went to the store and got a new battery, the lights would light up then go dim and it still wouldn't find a stud. I will most likely pull it apart just to see how it works (I always wondered what makes these things tick).
Save your money and just use a magnet to find the screws/nails in your drywall. (life lesson learned keep it simple).
