Stud Finder Wall Scanner 5-in-1 - Detector for Wood, Metal, Joists, Pipes, and AC Wires, Upgraded New version Intelligent Chip, High-Definition LCD Display Screen & Audible Alarm

Works well in my opinion but I’ve never mounted a tv so I’ll update afterwards if the TV does or doesn’t fall out of the wall lol 😅But the instructions are simple and it’s pretty straightforward. I set it to the deepest it could detect a stud (1.5”) just because I don’t feel like cycling through the other depths. It even tells you which way to go to find the stud and has a notch at the top where you can mark the spot it centers on, so I’m happy. I hope mounting this TV goes well! I’ll update with pictures after it’s done!

Well made, easy to use and accurate stud finder at a great price. The display is easy to read. My old useless stud finder has now been retired.

This stud finder works exactly as it should. I like that it shows the edges of the stud inside the wall and also the middle of it. Would but again.

absolutely LOVE this stud finder. i had purchased a cheaper finder previously and it was such a pain, i left mt TV unmounted for a year. rearranged my room after receiving it and just got my TV mounted last night. made it nice and easy for me to figure out and mount myself! it works amazing. very light weight and easy to handle. once you find the center of the beam, it beeps consistently as long as you hold it in place with a very clear indication of the center and i absolutely LOVE that. definitely recommend!!

While I did initially struggle with the unit, the company did come through and backed their product--Thank you!!!

Works really well. Sometimes need to increase the depth but really like using this.

In the Stud mode, the scanner continued to flash CAL (Calibrate). Instructions say "Note: In cases of the screen "CAL" icon flashes and the buzzer alerts when moving the device, it may be incorrectly calibrated, please move the device to a different position to re-calibrate." That made no difference. But then I found where the instructions say "Note: It is important to wait for the calibration completed (2-3 seconds) every time before moving the device." That did work, but it takes a few more seconds than that.It gives different results on stud location when I keep passing over the same area. I only use 1-1/2" mode to identify studs, and it rarely indicates the EDGE of the stud, but usually indicates just the CENTER location (which doesn't bother me as long as it's accurate). Instructions say "Hold the device steady, parallel to the studs, and do not rotate the device". But the purpose of the device is to identify studs, so holding it parallel to vertical studs that you know are present is one thing, but what about cross-studs (between the vertical studs) that are horizontal and usually halfway up the wall? Later I slid it across a wall where I already know the stud locations (every 16”) and it identified studs every few inches instead.Then I used it in the METAL mode to identify the metal corner brace that runs up the outside corner of the wall, right under the surface, that I know is there because I saw it when the baseboard was removed. Instructions state that the tool continues to re-calibrate it's own sensitivity during metal scanning. I don't know how to translate that. I held the tool vertically as well as horizontally while slowly sliding it up the wall corner and the tool showed nothing. Later I tried it again and this time it sporadically showed metal when holding the tool vertically, and nothing when holding it horizontally.It just simply has no reliability.

Impressed with the stud finder. Did a better job than my old Black and Decker one. I like that it finds the exact center of the stud and worked great.
