Review on VIVREAL 4 In 1 Stud Finder Wall Scanner With LCD Display - Center Finding Beam Finder And Sound Warning For Wood, AC Wire, And Metal Studs (Black/Silver) by Kendrick Barron

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Buy it! buy it! buy it! Worth every penny and then some

This is the first one I personally have ever owned though I’ve used them quite a bit in the past. Now idk how or why I struggled for all those years drilling umpteen holes in walls and ceilings trying to find a stud then having to patch all of them up wasting precious time and energy. It’s very user friendly (and I’m one of the "technologically illiterate” types) theirs only one button and a switch to operate to switch between stud metal and wire super easy just press it against the wall hold the button in (after selecting your mode of course ie stud metal or wire) wait for the 10 second countdown to stop and then move it around until the arrows tell u exactly where the stud or whatever your searching for is Mark it with the other hand and then drill your hole or whatever you need to do it’s soo simple compared to some of them and the price is just right not too expensive that a working joe can’t afford it and not to cheap that you know your getting a piece of junk.I’m a millwright by trade and though this isn’t exactly in my every day use toolbox it’s there for when I need it and it works great it also powers itself off so you don’t have to fuss with constant turning on and off bs that irritates you and without it kills your battery’s I’ve had one set of battery’s in it since I got it and they’re still good and it’s been probably a year since I purchased it (granted this isn’t every day use) but still it doesn’t waste power so your saving money all ways around.The only way I wouldn’t recommend this is if for some reason you do professional walling that you might need super deep deeper than this is rated for but I highly doubt your gonna run into that because though I don’t remember now what it is or was I researched before buying this so I knew that I wouldn’t have trouble doing roofs in old houses with super thick plaster wood etc and I’ve never run into an issue with depth with this.ever!

Pros
  • Not always finds studs but does not have problems with other types
Cons
  • The device is prone to breaking after minimal use
