Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! I wonder what all the bad reviews are for?

I was a little hesitant to order this item because of all the bad reviews labeling this product as "junk" and worse. I'm sorry but for those of you who are having difficulties if you have not received a defective item you can read the instructions for a closer look. Thought I'd post some of my feelings when I get this. First off, the free 9-inch 3-band level that came with the box was a nice touch. You will never have enough levels in your toolbox. I had several house and garage projects that I was looking forward to, eventually I got a stud sensor and it was able to find all the studs in whatever location I was looking for and it was very accurate. Here are some tips: Start with I first I had an old 9V battery lying around in my tool box and didn't realize it was low, but when I got a new battery and put it in the light was bright and the sound clear. Second, place the sensor on the wall, then press the button and wait for the green light to turn on. If you move before the green light comes on, it won't work. At the very beginning the device will flash errors. Just place it another 6 inches and try again. If you are unsure if the device is working, there is a very simple way to check. Just press the button while holding the device without placing it on the wall. Then bring your other hand to it and you will see the LEDs increase and beep as if it found the bobby pin. And that is also in the directions! Yes, it's a little plastic - build quality isn't the best, but it's cheap and it works! Be careful when inserting the battery - you'll need to lift the battery cover vertically after prying the tab open a bit - the packaging says the battery will last 50 hours - that's likely to last for years given how little you use it normal work. House work. I think it's a great buy for the price and the included level and would recommend it to anyone at any time.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
