Stud Finder

Never need batteries
  ( 10 Customer Reviews )

Unlike an electronic stud finder, this one never needs batteries; plus, it indicates the thickness of your wallboard, so you can choose the correct screw or anchor. Of particular usefulness is the Stud Finder’s unparalleled utility at locating ceiling joists, especially on textured ceilings which often prevent electronic or even magnetic stud finders from being effective.

Simply press the nose straight into the wallboard so the fine needle (only 0.027" diameter) can penetrate. If the nose does not retract all the way into the body of the finder, you've found your stud (you'll feel when the needle hits it). If you can push the needle all the way through, however, simply move it over and try again. That's all there is to it.

The markings on the side of the nose show you how thick the wallboard is. They are shown in millimeters, but it's easy to check the distance against any ruler.

This little jewel is an excellent stud finder. It's accurate, battery free, and I can easily slip it into a small pocket on my tool belt. I've tried several battery operated stud finders that left me disappointed (inaccurate readings), but this simple tool works every time. And it also gives me the panel/gyp thickness. Very affordable and makes a great gift or stocking stuffer! Great find.

I bought my father one of these and he absolutely loves it and so do I. We use it for everything from hanging pictures to mounting televisions to the wall. It really comes in hand in those tight spots where a regular electronic stud finder won't or can't fit. We will definitely be ordering another one of these as soon as possible for me to take to my new apartment!

This is the coolest. For hanging pictures,hooks,etc, this coupled with a good studfinder makes getting it right the first time a snap.Just ordered two more for Christmas gifts.
