Finding studs behind a wall before drilling or hanging, this Stanley advanced stud sensor detects the edges of wood and metal studs up to 3/4" deep behind drywall, so a worker can mark a stud and fasten into solid framing instead of hollow wall. Slid across the wall, the sensor reads the change in density behind the surface and signals the stud edge with an LED display and a buzzer, and clear visual indicators on the face make it easy to read at a glance. It detects both wood and metal studs, runs on a 9V battery, and its pocket-size 9" body fits in a tool bag or pouch. It is a go-to tool for hanging shelves, cabinets, TVs, and fixtures into solid framing.
