Review on ProSensor 710 Franklin Sensors Precision by Chad Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This is the one you were looking for

My old stud finder got lost on the street so I bought a cheap $20 from my local big store. After it beeped 73 different places on the wall, I ended up with a dozen "test holes" trying to find the stud. Sound familiar? I returned it and decided to try the $30 version of the same brand (the only brand sold at this big store that was actually a "sponsored result" of Revain when I came here to search ) and ended up with exactly the same result. on the second wall of the shelves i put. I decided to return that as well as it was beyond useless (I won't mention the brand name but it rhymes with "Sircon"). As my project list grew and my knuckles ached from searching for studs this way, I decided to give the Franklin ProSensor another try. I can only say wow. finally' - so far 4 out of 4 in the search for stallions. I even tried it on the same wall that my previous viewfinders had so much trouble with and it worked every time. A few extra bulbs flickered once, but I scanned again and got the three bulbs I was looking for. Finally one that works! This one won't tell you if it's metal or wood. It will not beep when it detects power in the wall. He doesn't yell "The Edge!" at you when he thinks he's found an edge. However, it will tell you where the spike is, which is what I expect from a spike finder. Put a mark in the middle of the three lights that should be visible and this should be in the middle.
