Ryobi was my go-to as well when I moved into my apartment 2 years ago, but the finder was placed in a container stolen from my storage just a day after I'd finished all my mounting so this time around I needed a cheaper & better alternative & just saw this one on Home Depot, so thanks for reviewing!
Very helpful just bought one today and tried to just follow instructions but I have to use CZcams to get a better understanding for this single mother!
Thanks for the video, it answered all the questions I had. I've already order one. So, I was just checking online for some insight, and your video helped a lot, thanks.
I just bought this stud finder. I saw it being used so simply and easily. But mine seems very erratic. Sometimes it picks an AC and it seems to get stuck in its memory so that even if I change the walls and move it anywhere it keeps on beeping with AC.
Lol awe man if it's a tv you definitely need the studs. If the wall is hard to drill the length of the bit it's a stud, if you can twist the drill and bit inside the wall it's just drywall. I hope the tv is light :)
Great video, I just went and bought this stud finder, you are the man! You may see me use it one day on my channel but I doubt it, I usually am working on cars on my channel, only do wood work every once in a while and don't usually make a video ... Thanks for this video tho, it was very helpful.
Hi, this is really helpful. I just got one of these to mount my TV and have a question. I move it over the stud the electric wire sign comes up, but it doesn’t beep as you have demonstrated. Does that mean I am good to mount on that stud?
Glad it helped. The flash means there is a electric current close but it's not directly over it. If it flashes and beeps its supposed to be directly behind the wall.
Thanks for watching. I would have done a deep scan I just dont have double sheetrock in the house. I have used it hanging tvs at other places and it works. I haven't missed a stud yet.
@@MrBaldChronicles. I took a chance and just drilled into it. Actually it was my first time looking for a stud so I hope I caught it and not just drywall. Hung the tv on the wall and it's still there, so I guess so far so good.
Hi 👋 This is my concern too, the electric ⚡️ keeps popping up just about anywhere I scann it’s not right, I’m almost positive theres not a hive of wiring behind this particular wall, though there’s an outlet about five feet below the point where I need to drill, so I checked multiple times left and right and still electric ⚡️ symbol pops up. I should mention that I scanned on a wall without any visible outlets and ⚡️ symbol didn’t appear🤷♂️
Carrie Lewis well when you scan across and find the edge mark it and release the button. Start from the other side and find the edge. Or just do what I do in vid. If that doeant work yah go get another and try it
I have watched several videos on stud finders. Not one has addressed or tested a wall stuffed with insulation. Do stud finders properly calibrate wall depth if the wall is firmly stuffed with insulation, I wonder? If not, that is perhaps why many contractors find that these devices do not work. Has anyone experienced using a stud finder on an insulated wall? If so, what was the outcome? Can stud finders calibrate a wall stuffed with insulation? Much appreciated, thank you!
Well it will tell if it's double sheet rock but it's a stud finder so it really doesn't matter if the wall is hollow or stuffed. Me I drill into the stud. It tells you where the wires are which is pretty important.
The 2 edges it found in this video was like an inch apart from each other though, that doesn't sound right. I followed the first point and it was right next to the second point.
@@MrBaldChronicles. I checked the manual it’s because I started scanning where there was a stud. I didn’t see that lightning signal when it was beeping. If the lightning signal was there then yes I would think it was a wire
I found what said to be stud, marked the center. I used the 1/8 but to initial start the hole. After going through the drywall, the bit stops going forward as if I ran into solid steel. What's happening? Must be steel and not wood? It's a StudSensor, not SteelSensor.
Hmm. Some do detect steel. Do you have this same model. Maybe someone in the group can help with this one. If there’s wood in front of the steel that would make sense.
Not true at all. It finds the edges just fine. Watch this videos it will show you. You shouldn't have nails in your studs bud. Go buy another one you got a faulty one
Thanks, I’ve had this for over a year and I have learned a lot from this vid. I appreciate the review and education 😀
Glad it helped. Cheers
I was wondering how to find that current. Thanks for sharing! Today I learned
Right on

Right on, glad it help. Mine still works great.
Very helpful just bought one today and tried to just follow instructions but I have to use CZcams to get a better understanding for this single mother!
Glad it helped and yes it does come in handy.

Thanks for the vid man. I was on the fence about getting this tool but now I’m sold and I’ll know how to use it!
Right on. Glad I could help man.
Thanks for teaching me.
I am moving to Canada soon. I have to do the housework by myself. Your video is really helpful.
Thanks a bunch glad it helped

Cheers..thx for the informative vid!
Right on

I hope this one is better. I just returned the one i bought yesterday (the Zircon hd25) and it was a total piece of garbage.
This one has never failed me
Thank for your video
Right on
Thanks dude! Really Helpful!
Great video, I just went and bought this stud finder, you are the man! You may see me use it one day on my channel but I doubt it, I usually am working on cars on my channel, only do wood work every once in a while and don't usually make a video ... Thanks for this video tho, it was very helpful.
Glad it helped man. Have fun with it, it comes in handy every time the wife has me hanging something lol.
Good video, quick question?
How does it turn off
Thanks. Goes off on its own.
I believe you can also hold the button down to turn it off

Thanks very well explained.
Hiram Pabon thanks
kind of wish that you actually used the masking tape to confirm the edges... just have to use my imagination :)
I prefer the imagination lol. But yah woulda been a good touch
Thanks for this. I’d like to have seen a DeepScan demo as well but this was a good start.
Thanks for watching. I would have done a deep scan I just dont have double sheetrock in the house.
I have used it hanging tvs at other places and it works. I haven't missed a stud yet.
Thanks for the quick lesson..
Thank you
Right on
Mine is beeping for everything. So does that mean that the whole wall is studded?
That’s new. Not sure. You might have wires running across the whole wall
so helpful! thank you!
Mike E. Dunne for sure
If the stud finder starts to beep with the wire detector sign but is NOT flashing is it ok to drill into that stud?
I still drill I just do it lightly. If its beeping and flashing I stay clear
@@MrBaldChronicles. I took a chance and just drilled into it. Actually it was my first time looking for a stud so I hope I caught it and not just drywall. Hung the tv on the wall and it's still there, so I guess so far so good.

Ok so mine finds the edge or what I assume is the edge the next time I double check the stud it doesn't go off. Looks like I need to return it!?
Carrie Lewis well when you scan across and find the edge mark it and release the button.
Start from the other side and find the edge. Or just do what I do in vid.
If that doeant work yah go get another and try it
Here is your 👍 thank you

Ben W its right. I've used this many times. Of course in the video I wasn't actually marking the points but it's always guided me to the 2x4 stud
Ben W if thats the case return the item for another one the one you got might be faulty. Let me know what the problem was when you figure it out.
yo, either that stud is .5" wide or you didn't do it right. it picked almost the exact same spot.
Lol that means its a double stud. I haven't missed a stud yet and I've hung many pictures and TVs. Thanks for stopping in
What if it flashing without the current sign
I believe it means there a wire behind it or something behind it other than a stud
@@MrBaldChronicles. I checked the manual it’s because I started scanning where there was a stud. I didn’t see that lightning signal when it was beeping. If the lightning signal was there then yes I would think it was a wire
Good to know.

can this find micro radiation in concrete wall.acurately.how to contact you..
I need help with this 😤
Watch the entire video. Hope it helps
I have a question
When it starts blinking what does it mean
It's like " beep beep beep beep"
Never mind, just saw the complete video ,your really helpful!!! Thanks
how much
Malar Vasanth it was just 19.99
The have more expensive ones in this brand too.
This works 100 percent though
En español
I just paid $55
Dang, that’s high.
I find this unit to be useless and inaccurate, leading to many unnecessary holes in the wall. It will beep forever, really finds nothing.
Works perfectly for me and others. That’s going to be user error. Yeah don’t use it anymore. Cheers
The pice don't
Huh
It's a small metal detector. It won't find edges, only nails or screws, if you're lucky. It's Junk !!!
Not true at all. It finds the edges just fine. Watch this videos it will show you.
You shouldn't have nails in your studs bud.
Go buy another one you got a faulty one
Yep cause I couldn’t find 💩
Keep trying, you will get it. I still use it to this day, works great
God you talk too much!!! Geeze man, just demonstrate instead of talking statistics!!
Lol
Thanks 🙏
Glad it helped
