Wall Stud Sensor By Mary60 on Jul 21, 2009 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

We were in need of a tool to find the exact placement for a wall mount for our tv. We needed to secure the mounts to the studs , with the mounting hardware and make sure it would hold. To use this tool we had to place it on the wall before pressing the power button,which is powered by a 9 volt battery. The battery compartment cover is the belt clip. Studs are usually 16 to 24 inches, but don't assume everything is a stud. You will need to scan at different heights on the wall. Try using the regular mode first and if nothing, then try the deep scan. When a stud is found,mark both edges of the stud and find the center before nailing or drilling for the hardware. It comes with an easy to read display screen and a wire warning alert. We found this tool to work effective,easy, and correct. We hung our new tv, and have been enjoying ever since.
