Zircon Multiscanner A200 Electronic Wall Scanner/Metal Detector/Live AC Wire Detection With SpotLite Pointer

I bought this to replace my previous Zircon stud finder that I had for about 30 years before it gave up the ghost. This one does about the same thing, but has more bells and whistles, such as showing the center of a stud rather than scanning back and forth. It also seems to be able to find things deeper and more accurately than the old one. I see a lot of comments on this and other stud finders about the need to calibrate, or the unit does not always detect the studs correctly. "Calibration" is what the stud finder MUST do to be able to detect things behind the wall. This sets a basis for the unit to know what the "normal" wall looks like: how deep the Sheetrock/wall material is, how dense it is, etc., so it can detect changes to this. If you don't let the unit calibrate, it WILL NOT WORK! To "calibrate" simply hold the unit against the wall and push the button until the unit beeps. 2-3 seconds, then scan while holding the button down.

If you think you need a stud finder, stop here. This one is the best I’ve ever used. Super easy and accurate for not just finding the stud, it really does find the center, every time. No more guesswork when you think you’re close; no need to do test holes. Very happy with this; one of those tools you never lend out cuz you might never get it back.

This does a great job detecting studs in plaster & lath. If you're on the fence , it's worth the money!

I've bought a few stud finders under a $100 including renowned brands but none actually came even remotely close to this thing. It does the job and it does it well, 100% recommended!
