I usually have someone else try to take of the handy work kind of stuff but I thought having a this center and edge finding electronic stud finder would be nice to have for like when I want to hang something on a wall or for when my husband decides to redo our din one of these days. My husband is no expert either. This electronic stud finder is so easy to use that anyone could use it. It uses a 9 volt battery and it actually came with one there is just a plastic pice to pull out. I got this out of the package that you have to cut open. I played around with it before reading the directions. I found studs right away. I then read the directions because I didn't really know the proper way of using a stud finder. So to use this product you have to keep the button on the side pushed in with your thumb for it to read the wall and will tell if you on an edge and it will tell you when it is stud. It beeps and on he screen will show up edge,stud,or wall. When you are straight up and down on the stud a red straight lazer light shines out of the top of the stud finder. Simple to use. The only thing that would make this a better product would be if you didn't have to hold down the button and the light stayed on longer if you wanted to make a mark on the wall. We only have two hands. The beep is not very loud and there is no way to turn it up or down. It's not an unpleasant beep and it's at a comfortable volume to me. I'm one that don't really like a lot of loud noises I actually keep my phone on silent most of the time. This is a great product for someone that is a carpenter,handyman,new home owner, or someone that plans on making improvements on their house.

This is an easy to use base model stud finder but is still well made and accurate. Zircon is a well - known name brand for products such as this. The main features of the stud finder are that it locates the center and edges of studs and joists (wood or metal). The key to accuracy is to make sure you calibrate the stud finder before using it by holding it against the wall while pressing the button on the side until you hear a “beep”. The calibration works even if you begin over an actual stud – this is called “auto correction”. One thing to be sure to do is install a new high quality battery before use as they advise you to. This will ensure the best performance. I read of others having issues with the operation of the stud finder, but I did not have any issues ... MoreThis is an easy to use base model stud finder but is still well made and accurate.

This will ensure the best performance. I read of others having issues with the operation of the stud finder, but I did not have any issues during my use. It also has a feature that detects AC wiring, but I never saw an alert for wiring. Therefore, I either did not scan it across any wiring or that feature did not work for me – hard to say which. There is also a “deepscan” mode that is activated by pressing the power button twice. This detects studs, etc. that may be 1.5“ behind a wall. Again, since my studs are right behind the sheetrock, I did not have a need to try out that mode. For the low cost of this scanner, there is no excuse for any homeowner not to own one. It can save a lot of time and headache no matter what you are attaching to your wall. Works well for the price.

I have been trying to remodel a property that I purchased. I have encountered various obstacles and challenges along the journey to a finished project. Besides trying to lift and do everything by myself, one of my main hurdles has been the expense of buying the numerous tools and other items needed to get the job done. I was pleasantly surprised when Walmart contacted me about reviewing the Zircon StudSensor i65 OneStep Stud Finder and giving an honest review, since I was getting ready to purchase one. I used to have a very basic stud finder years ago that never really worked well. It just had a few led lights that would let you know if you were over a stud in the wall. This new Zircon StudSensor i65 Stud Finder is amazing! Not only is there a laser that shows you ... MoreI have been trying to remodel a property that I purchased. I have encountered various obstacles and challenges along the journey to a finished project. Besides trying to lift and do everything by myself, one of my main hurdles has been the expense of buying the numerous tools and other items needed to get the job done. I was pleasantly surprised when Walmart contacted me about reviewing the Zircon StudSensor i65 OneStep Stud Finder and giving an honest review, since I was getting ready to purchase one. I used to have a very basic stud finder years ago that never really worked well. It just had a few led lights that would let you know if you were over a stud in the wall. This new Zircon StudSensor i65 Stud Finder is amazing! Not only is there a laser that shows you exactly where the center of the stud is located, but there is even a screen that shows when you are passing over the stud in the wall. The Zircon i65 works on both wood and metal studs up to 1 1/2” wide (2”x4”) and at various depths. It is really fast and easy to use this stud finder also. All you need to do is press the button on the side and wait for a second or two for it to calibrate to the wall. Next, slide it along the wall and it will show you on the screen when you come to the edge of the stud. When you are in the center of the stud the laser shines on the wall. Very fast and simple! There is even a signal strength indicator that distinguishes between shallow and deep targets. If you are having difficulty detecting the studs due to the type of covering material, simply change the sensitivity mode to high sensitivity. This Zircon i65 will scan through freshly painted walls, wallpaper, extremely textured walls or acoustic ceilings using a thin piece of cardboard on the surface, wood flooring, subflooring, and gypsum drywall over plywood sheathing. The tool is not recommended for lath and plaster due to irregularities. Keep in mind that the stud finder may only display one or two bars when the tool locates a stud through thick surfaces. What is really neat is this stud finder has an AC WireWarning Detection Indicator to let you know where the electrical wiring is in your walls! The entire unit runs on one 9V battery that is included. Zircon also provides a limited one year warranty. This will be a tremendous help while I continue my remodeling project. This is a great item to have in your toolbox and I highly recommend it. As usual, Walmart is selling this cool little device at a great, low price!
