I consider this purchase to be one of my best
5/5

We love how well this works I love how easy it is to use. It was not until this piece came in that I was able to hang a heavy piece. Thanks to the fact that it sticks (and has a level), it is so much easier to use A friendly person. A pro- Here's a tip (I just figured it out, so maybe everyone already knows it) Tape painters tape on the back of whatever will be up and measure how far the holes are apart. On the wall, you can use that guide as a reference point.

A simple and easy to use program! It's always a challenge for me to find studs to attach the cabinets because I'm a cabinet maker by trade
5/5


In the past, I have tried a number of different There are many drywall screw finders and this is one of the best. The strong magnet finds the drywall screws and you just hang it there since it is magnetically attracted to them. Having used the first version (Studbuddy) for the past couple of years, I highly recommend it. This model adds the levels that I tested with my 6' Stabila level and Bosch laser level to verify their accuracy. It rocks that you can use StudBuddy plus!.

You've just found the best stud finder ever! As a result, I have almost completely replaced all my electronic ones with the original Stud Buddy (the sturdy magnet allows the tool to mount on the wall without needing to lean against it)
4/5

With the new version, you'll also find levels, which prove handy, and the clamp clings to the stud almost as effectively as the original does. I think it would be better to add a vertical line in the middle of the tool and a permanent hole or notch in each end to mark the stud with a pencil (I added both of Many of my friends are also enthusiastic about them after I have given some of them away.

This is something you should purchase
5/5

A stud finder like this is perfect if you intend to do DIY projects at home. There is no need to look anywhere else. While I do a lot of DIY projects, this tool is awesome! I don't know if this tool is the best for a professional contractor, but I use it all the time! so I could hang a heavy mirror in the bathroom with it. It would be great if my brother could come over to help me. I'll let you guess whose toolbox my StudBuddy ended up in when we I love it! There's no need to worry I'll just.

The low-budget version is much better than the high-budget version Synonyms in terms of technology
5/5

In the past, I have bought three different digital stud finders, but none of them have ever worked for me. I often get weakly accurate data because they seem to have a 50% accuracy at any moment A drywall stud is crushed by screws mounted in it or an anchor driven against it. There are times when it is both irritating and Later, I bought this one because I wanted to change things up a bit. In addition to high-quality entertainment, I also enjoy Although I prefer high-tech, I do occasionally come across low-tech The tech works where it counts Technically, there isn't any reason not to do it, so I did. This broke down a stud in no time when I slid it over the wall. As an avid wall-hanger, this thing hasnailed the job every time I have tried it below and above. I am regularly attaching things to walls, and this thing has nailed it every single time. Because it has taken all the guesswork out of my job, it has greatly simplified my work for me. Honestly, I mean even my ten-year-old will do it The year is The thing was really fun for her. She got to help me find the studs while she was using it! In the near future, I plan to purchase more of these!.

It's one of the best tool purchases you'll ever As part of our move to a new apartment, we are installing a ceiling lamp in the living room and a punching bag in the bedroom
5/5

In order to hang the TVs, we bought a conventional stud finder, but each time we checked and rechecked for accuracy, the stud appeared to disappear or to move There was no sense of security about this, and it was very frustrating. As a result of my search on Amazon, THIS incredible tool appeared. I am very pleased with my purchase and the shipping was fast! On that same day, we found the stud in the ceiling to hang a lamp and the stud to hang the punching bag on. I then followed my husband along the walls to see what I had done differently with the other stud finder. As soon as the StudBuddy Plus stuck to the wall, the other stud finder turned green an inch or two I think the Studbuddy Plus is an absolute must for people who are unsure what they are doing, or who are nervous about hanging something heavy themselves. The built-in levels on both the vertical and horizontal axes are excellent. There are no prerequisites for this product, so it is a highly recommended purchase for anyone. The process makes the job a lot easier, and you can be sure that you have found the center of the stud as well as not only the edges. It would be a good idea for you to There will NOT be a disappointment here!.

It's always easier to keep it simple! In most cases, I have been using stud finders for most of my life
5/5

They sometimes work (sometimes), but are not always accurate. It seemed so simple and I figured it would probably work, so I decided to give it a try. The answer is yes! There is no need for calibration, and the readings are always correct. Each time you pass the tool across the surface, you simply move the tool from side to side and adjust it up or down. Using this tool will give you a very clear indication when you have hit a nail or screw since it will automatically latch onto the nail or screw The stud finder stays firmly in place, so you are able to mark the position while holding the instrument. As a result, you can be sure you are working on the center of the stud since it is locked onto the screw or nail. (I've used traditional stud finders many times and just missed the edge entirely because I read the number the wrong way. )It has vertical and horizontal levels built in, which is nice. Years ago, I wish I had one of these, as I would have saved myself a lot of frustration and time. The only improvement I have found is that there could be more study buddy involvement (StudBuddy, do you hear us? The plan) This, in combination with the levels, would allow one to mark the stud center along the projected line effortlessly, with only one hand needed There's no charge. If I saw that tool on the market, I would definitely purchase So, it is better to keep things simple. That's all there is to it. It is a fantastic product that I would highly recommend and I will be buying more as gifts for my friends who appreciate it a lot.

Stays firmly in place after finding the stud with ease
5/5

A stud finder that I've never found easier to use than this. This product places the nail head in the wall stud and adheres it to the wall in place with strong magnets. level bubbles built into the game are a nice touch. The paper version is much easier to read than the electronic version.
