Review on Original Studpop Yellow Magnetic Stud Finder by Stephen Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cool little tool!

I wish I had known about this wonderful little tool many years ago. It's easy to use, accurate and just a great idea. We live in a 100-year-old plaster and slatted house that we have been restoring and renovating for several years. One of the hardest jobs is finding the studs under the 1/2 to 1 inch thick plaster over the batten. Traditional spike finders work poorly, if at all, and the method of drilling holes in a line until you hit a spike is tedious and destructive. Once you find one, there is no guarantee that the measurement will accurately find the others. Having tried everything else, I figured I might as well try this sphere. Glory, it works! It's sensitive enough to dig under even the thickest plaster in my house without drilling. It really made the process easier and faster. Follow the directions and you can't go wrong. My neighbor who lives in a similar house borrowed it for a small project and loved it as much as I did. Now he has his own Studio Pop.
