I usually find that electronics that have some weight to them tend to be of much better quality. On first impression this seemed a bit "hollow" to me. It doesn't come with a battery which is not surprising for the cost, but I always replace those that have "batteries included" with my own high end li ion batteries anyway. It lit up like it should. Felt better with a battery installed as far as weight goes. So then the testing started. First I will try it without instructions to see how user friendly it is. Placed it on a wall in which I knew was difficult to read with my old SF. I toggled through the modes and found it kind of interestingly confusing as to why it would have different depth settings. It found nothing on 1/2". Reset it to 1" and found nothing again. Then on 1-1/2" it found studs. It found the centers well. Then I tried it on an easy to sense wall. Same thing. the 1-1/2" works. I don't see why they would bother with the lighter settings. But it did accurately find the stud centers on the 1-1/2" mode. In fact it found them much easier than my old clunker which tended to error out. I call it my old clunker because this should be able to clunk around inside a drawer until needed and take the abuse. I'm not sure how well this one will hold up as I just got it. My old clunker cost much less and lasted me many years. 8 years from now I can tell you how this one does, but for now I have no review of that. Don't get me wrong. I take care of my tools. I don't abuse them. This one will be my go to stud finder until such a time it fails me without abuse. It seems relatively easy to use. You should not need to pull out an instruction manual every time you wish to use a tool. This did not require me to do any such thing. I could figure it out without problems. I just have to remember that it needs to calibrate first. So all that said, I am happy with the purchase and I think it is a quality tool for the price as long as you don't abuse it. It's made to read walls, not bounce off them. For the price, I'd try it if I were you and didn't need a $400 radar scanning tool, which you "would" have to treat like a fragile piece of glass. I rather like it.

This works really well. Husband is satisfied with it. Accurate.

I recently moved into a new house with my family, and let me tell you, this stud finder was a game changer for all the projects we had lined up! From mounting a massive 75" TV on the wall to setting up a complex shelving system in the garage and dozens of floating shelves for family photos, this tool has been my trusty sidekick.The ease of use is something I can't stress enough. Even if you're not a DIY pro, this stud finder makes you feel like one. The accuracy in finding the true center of a stud was spot on every single time, which is critical when you're hanging heavy items like a large TV. The multiple drywall depth settings were a lifesaver, especially in different parts of the house where wall thickness varied. I'll admit that I've dropped it onto multiple floor types when forgetting it was perched on top of my ladder, including well over 7 feet onto rock hard concrete in the garage. Nothing has phased this stud finder and it continues to provide accurate x-ray-level readings to this day.But here’s the kicker – it's an incredible all-in-one product for the price! It's not just a stud finder; it's like having a little construction assistant in your tool belt. The one feature that absolutely blew me away – and this might sound dramatic – was how it saved me from potential electric shock. While installing the TV, this little gem detected a 'hot' monitor cable hidden in the wall, left by the previous homeowners. They had covered up the cable concealer and gang box, making it invisible to the naked eye. If it weren't for this stud finder, I might have had a shocking surprise...In summary, if you're setting up a new home or tackling any project that involves drilling into walls, you need this stud finder. It's not just a tool, it's peace of mind that you're drilling in the right spot – and not into live wires! Highly recommend for its accuracy, ease of use, and for keeping me safe and shock-free!
