About CH Hanson 03040 Magnetic Stud Finder - 2 Pack
Overall Feedback:
90% positive
89% found it to be highly accurate in detecting studs
I found a way to detect wall board nails on smooth plaster walls by hanging a magnet on a string and slowly dragging it along the wall.
I find the product great for finding drywall screws or nails, which helps locate studs.
71% found the battery life to be sufficient for my needs, but 29% experienced frequent draining
The stud finder works everywhere and it takes patience to find the stud by slowly gliding it across the wall, but eventually, I find it.
I had a battery-operated stud finder that died, so I borrowed one of these to use. This shows that the battery life of my stud finder was not good.
67% appreciated the clear and easy-to-read screen display, though 33% found it cluttered
The stud finder almost jumped out of my hand and clung to the wall like a rabid dog whenever it found a stud fastener.
The product is easier to use with its built-in level, instead of holding a long and heavy level with one hand and marking with the other.
I found that it takes some time to find the screw/nail heads in the studs, but once found, it is more accurate than my other three stud finders that give false positives.
I had to gut the house and hang drywall instead of plaster. I can mud a wall but struggle with plaster work.
91% found it to be built with durable materials, while 9% experienced issues with fragility
The stud finder sticks strongly to the wall and is surprisingly easy to remove.
I have found this stud finder to be the best and most reliable one for my remodeling work.
I found the tool very effective at locating the metal nails that fastened the lathe to studs.
I couldn't find any studs with the stud finder, indicating that the product is not durable enough to detect studs.
93% appreciated its user-friendly interface
I liked the product so much that I bought it myself.
I leave the stud finder in the closet on a nail when not in use, which helps me locate it and keeps my husband from losing it.
These stud finders are great for me because there are no batteries to worry about.
95% liked its lightweight design for easy portability
I highly recommend the product.
This product is easier to use than a long, heavy level because it is portable and has a built-in level.
