Zircon StudSensor A100 Wall Scanner and Center/Edge Locating Stud Finder with WireWarning Detection

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this one because it reviewed on project farm and it has been fantastic. I have put up some cabinets and hung up a TV and a backer board and about 10 hooks on the wall now. I have not missed a single stud, and I have been really putting it to use. I found it works better on deep scan mode.

I bought the Zircon StudSensor A150 to help find studs in my wall for mounting three TV wall mounts, and it worked perfectly! This tool was easy to use and intuitive, which was a big relief since I was working with wallpaper and had to get it right the first time—no room for mistakes or oversized holes.Finding the center of the studs was crucial, and this scanner made it simple. I located the center of two studs, marked them, and double-checked to ensure accuracy before drilling. When I finally went for it with a 1/4-inch hole, it was dead-on in the center of each stud. Exactly what I needed!This stud finder is reliable and works great for precise tasks like this. I’ll definitely be using it for other projects around the house. Highly recommended for anyone needing an accurate and easy-to-use stud finder!

Seems to work pretty well.. I only needed it for hanging a mirror in the bathroom. Easy to learn and seemed pretty accurate.

The Zircon StudSensor A150 Wall Scanner is a versatile and user-friendly tool designed for both DIY enthusiasts like myself and professionals.It offers reliable stud detection capabilities, making it a valuable addition to your toolkit. Love it!!

This one is a great improvement over my older model - It is accurate -indicating not only the edges of the studs, but also the centre, with a highly readable panel. In addition it indicates if there are live wires in the wall. It is simple and easy to use - just hold down the side button and glide it across the wall. It's well shaped and sits neatly in the hand.

Not so accurate

Bought this before moving into a new home preparing for all the mysteries that lay behind the walls.At $30.99 I think the Zircon is hard to beat. Sure, there are more accurate stud finders out there, but several are nearly double the money. The ability to detect studs accurately as well as included wiring warning is solid value.I put these features to the test and overall have been impressed. The stud detecting was accurate on normal framed walls with drywall. Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to test on any other surfaces which could be more challenging. The wiring warning does exactly that and warns you however it lacks true accuracy of exactly where the wiring is.For the average person I think this stud finder is hard to beat. If this is something you plan to use on a daily basis for work or you are dealing with horsehair plaster walls, I'd consider spending more and getting a higher end model, but the reality of this purchase is I will probably break this out every few months and for that it does everything I need.

I feel like reviews for stud finders should either be five stars or one star. It has one job (although sometimes there are additional features). If it reliably finds studs, that is a five star product. I did not have that experience. Half of my house was built in 1950 with plaster and lath. The other half of my house has been added on in the past 15 years with studs and drywall. This product has the ability to scan at two separate depths. I used the deep scan on my plaster and lath and it thought my entire wall was a stud. I thought I would have better luck on drywall but did not. I only need this thing to do one task. If I drove a nail or drilled a hole everywhere this told me there was a stud, my wall would look like Swiss cheese and I would still be looking for a stud. To be fair, I purchased this product because none of the stud finders I currently own seem to be very reliable but the ones I own have fewer false positives than this one so this is the one that gets returned
