Review on 🧲 Discover Effortlessly: Stanley 47-400 Magnetic Stud Finder – Your Ultimate Partner for Convenient Stud Detection! by Peter Alradwan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Simple and practical

I often look for a bolt to attach something to the wall. I have one of the electronic (capacitive) sensors and it works fine most of the time. But he is deceived by changes in the fairing, thick plaster and other features. I check spike placement with this simple spike finder to make sure I haven't been scammed. This viewfinder has a strong magnet, so it reacts quickly even when you're not very close. I look for a nail (or screw) that moves horizontally and mark its position with a pencil in the shape of a "V". Then I go back and move the viewfinder vertically to find the height and mark that spot with a pencil in the "V" function. The intersection of the two V-shaped letters is the location of the fastener. It's a basic tool that's well designed. I think it's a little overpriced.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
