HANMATEK SF1 4‑in‑1 Stud Finder Wall Scanner, Depth Tracker & Unit Change

Brilliant love them feel good in the hand

Basic stud finder.

Worked ok for the job. Doesn’t get everything but worked for what we needed

Not particularly good and poor at finding studs. Buy a proper tool Ryobi or another premium product

Have used for locating wires and metal so far. Appears to be good accuracy and the screen gives a clear indication of distance to obstruction.

I'd love to do a video, but the cupboard is too confined yet perfect to demonstrate just how useless this product is. I bought it as I had recently purchased the same brand's digital meter. Just how different could their reliability be? As wide as Southampton to New York dock! So, how did I reach this conclusion you ask? In bed... literally. On my bed is a piece of 18 mm ply board, on that is the detector and my laptop. In turn, those are on top of an OTTY mattress. That is it. Image 1 (from left to right) shows the detector active... zero, zilch, denada.. not a sniff of a baton - agreed? Image 2 - it gets a twitch. Now whilst you cannot see this, imagine I am moving this detector mm by mm to the left then right. the bar scale fluctuates and then gives an edge reading.. over two inches from the edge. Image 3 - pictures never tell lies - guess what.. ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes they do! Let me explain. The detector states there is a batan there - wait for it... when I hold it on both sides with one hand... What the actual ahem! I doth protest me lud, it must have a case of electronic woodworm! How can you detect a baton, only when you completely shroud the scanner with one hand - immmmmmmmmmmpossible! Moreover, how can it detect a baton if/when it doesn't twitch when simply switched on? It can't!! So, cupboard test... place it directly on top of a baton I know is there and... (see image 1). Correct, it does not detect. Ah Ha! Active deep scan (it is only plasterboard) and... zilch, zenada... Absolutely useless, as much use as a chocolate fireguard! Now check out the final image... enough said! Copper pipes? Not even when placed directly next to or on top of... Electrics, I wouldn't trust it if the other analysis is anything to go by. Water.. floods, electric, kills! Refund requested.

Very handy tool! The stud finder is accurate for detecting wood, metal, and live wires. The depth tracker works well and the display is clear. Compact and easy to use, perfect for DIY jobs around the house. Helps avoid drilling into cables or pipes. Great value for the price!

first off, many stud and wire finders, even the high end ones are not 100% fool proof and perfect, you need to know what you are doing. I have used this to check for wires and studs in our new build. checking for studs may not give you a definitive reading, but you can expect another stud to be 40-60cm away. So if the reader thinks the centre is here with 50%, then move along, watch it drop to 0% and then again see if it goes to about the same, about 40-60cm away. Same with wires. The monitor will alert you to wires, but its never 100% certain. Use places where you know for a fact wires will be. like directly around the light switch. This should act as a control so you know what kind of readings to expect. This has served me well in a new build. I cant testify to ho well it works with older houses.

Der Leitungssucher von HANMATEK macht insgesamt einen sehr guten Eindruck. Die Verarbeitung wirkt hochwertig und die Qualität ist klar gegeben. Auch die Funktionsweise überzeugt mich. Das Gerät erfüllt seinen Zweck zuverlässig und lässt sich gut verwenden.

Inget att anmärka, som förväntat

Awesome product. Works as advertised

Seems to work pretty well ... some people may be expecting miracles and it is not that spectacular. But it works fine for me

WORKS GREAT, well made does as it said
